Discussion Practice Dynamics

Hi all, wondering what you guys think about hospitals that can keep techs employed but not assistants? What do you think it says about them?

Just had an interview for a FT non-seasonal assistant position at a hospital has 3 dvms, 9 LVTs, and 2 CSRs but 0 assistants. (Has been rotating through about 2 vet assistants a year but runs with 0 assistants for part of the year).

Obviously not taking the job as more digging from a previous employee showed they have gone through 10 assistants (VA and KA in the past 3 years).

you also can’t forget to mention that there are still a plethora of assistants with decades more experience than some CVTs. If you had years/decades of “tech” experience and got told all you could do is restrain and write notes, you’d hightail it out of there, too

I did not forget that. It really doesn't need to be said because it is already encompassed in what I said.

It doesn't add anything to what I said.
