I'm a lab scientist and I'm in a group on fb that is constantly discussing our wages especially in comparison to nurses. We average about 28 an hour and do 70% of the diagnostic work for HC. My first love in HC was radiology but then after shadowing for weeks I realized how many people I would have to touch/hold/mansplain/coax into staying put for 7 seconds all for them to not do it....and the bedpans. I was just wondering since rad is more hand on, always up and doing portables, positioning patients etc etc... do you feel the same? Do you think that you should also get the 20k sign on bonus that nurses get and make 45 an hour? Also, do you feel that your field is dying from the boomers retiring and not enough ppl coming into the field (cause that's our main issue in lab, minus the pay and being treated really crappy by nurses). I'm just trying to see if it's really just lab vs nurse or if it's the entire hc system broken and favoring nurses because they are "the face" of it?
