Last week’s threads split between jobs and day-to-day realities. Hiring talk focused on the surge in supervisor roles and how credentials, differentials, and preceptor pay stack up. Pay transparency came up repeatedly, with several members reporting offers below posted ranges and sharing concrete negotiation tactics. On the practice side, night shift quirks, equipment failures at odd hours, better IV securement, and simpler ways to handle CE/CEUs and pre-clinical paperwork got a lot of practical attention—plus growing interest in non-bedside paths.
