Caffeinators, many of us "end up" in management in some fashion-head technician, supervisor, shift lead, etc, but is that really a path that interests you or is it something you do to fill a need, or perhaps earn an extra shift differential? The reality is, hospital management is AT LEAST a full time job, and arguably more! For this episode, Leslie Boudreau, BASVT, RVTg, CVPM, PHR, PHRca, SPHR, came by the Vet Tech Cafe to talk not just about management, but the path to that. Leslie is an RVTg (she explains the 'g') in California that decided management was her path, put the work in to obtain her CVPM, and additional human resources certifications as well. So we talked to her specifically about that transition from RVT to management, and the RVT-manager relationship and dynamic, and how we can bring more to the table knowing she has been on both sides of the table. As always, it was a robust and fascinating conversation! The weather is turning cold for many of you, so let us pour you a hot cup of coffee so you can join the conversation!
