Thanks Mike....my sentiments exactly! ;) Colette A. Wilkey RVT "Life isn't about weathering the storms....it's about learning to dance in the rain" ________________________________ From: UVM Flownet on behalf of Mike Allen Sent: Thu 5/20/2010 9:36 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: recertification & CME's With respect to Dr. Schneider, the concern that I am hearing is that it's not so much the addition of another test (although I can hear some palms sweating already) the problem is more that the steamroller never seems to come. I have been scanning Cardiac and Vascular patients for almost thirty years and recieved my Associates degree because it would someday be required and then passed two registries because someday I wouldn't be able to practice without them, then went on to earn my BS. because that darned steamroller was just around the corner. Now here I am in 2010 still working arm in arm with unregistered undegreed technologists who don't seem to be affected by the steamroller that is coming and in most cases make the same salary as I do. So my question is not so much why take another test as much as what are they going to do if I don't take the test or don't pass the test. What are they going to do to insure that I the cream rises to the top. When are ARDMS and ICAVL and Medicare carriers all going to get on the same page and get the steamroller going? Thanks for listening to my humble opinion Mike Allen, BS RVT, RDCS. -----Original Message----- From: John Kelleher <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Thu, May 20, 2010 10:30 am Subject: Re: recertification & CME's i like this lady!!! ________________________________ From: UVM Flownet [mailto:[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ] On Behalf Of Betty-Sue/Elizabeth Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2010 7:02 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: recertification & CME's And one of the things I hate about this flow is that other people can say that my reasons for anything are poor. they are not poor just because they are not yours To unsubscribe or search other topics on UVM Flownet link to: http://list.uvm.edu/archives/uvmflownet.html To unsubscribe or search other topics on UVM Flownet link to: http://list.uvm.edu/archives/uvmflownet.html To unsubscribe or search other topics on UVM Flownet link to: http://list.uvm.edu/archives/uvmflownet.html CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email message and any accompanying data or files is confidential and may contain privileged information intended only for the named recipient(s).
