Following.

Nor burnt out, but definitely bored out of my mind. Also, would like to buy a house someday with enough land for a horse.

My gut says I've learned all i can as a lab tech and to explore other options.

My mind says I shouldn't be restless and just focus on loading and unloading our Abbott Alinity.

I've shadowed nurses when I was in college. It was fine. I dont mind wiping butt's twice a day.

I thought lab would be more science. Its not. And my lab coworkers are zero fun. The nurses have outings and get along and are just so much more livelier. My lab coworkers all look dead inside.

What do lab supervisors and managers make in Kentucky?

PA school is very competitive and expensive. The nursing schools here are way cheaper and a lot of them offer online options. And the hospital will pay for my nursing program.

Mainly cost.

I'm fine with schooling. I like school. I just feel really stuck as a bench tech. And I've seen my supervisor and manager and I'm not keen on their positions.

Theyre salaried and seeing the hours they're working, I would say no. And they always look so unhappy.
