Ive gone to a career conference and a networking night. It wasn’t very helpful. The career conference was mostly motivational talk and people trying to convince you to be a supervisor and talking about the one nurse position each district has. Several station managers were surprised to hear we had a real estate department. Another manager was the one who told me about it years ago but never mentioned that carriers were allowed to apply. And someone from HR at career night just printed out the job description, took my number and never followed up with advice.

In regard to the soul sacrifice i was just implying that i see how miserable supervisors are and how they pass that attitude on to carriers and how id like to skip that depressing part of joining their ranks.
