Check offs
We have a brand new just licensed tech. She was a very part time assistant for some months, then dis her PIMA externship with us. Once she got her license the medical director gave her a skills list that she had to have signed off before she could do those things solo. Ie: intubate a cat 10 times with supervision same for dogs. This is something that is expected of everyone who is licensed and is new to our clinic. Ive done this before at other clinics too. The problem is this person refuses to do it because she has her license and should just be allowed now.
She did her externship with us but would regularly refuse to do the skills due to anxiety. Her attitude since getting her license is that she should just be able to do allbthe things withput actually proving she can perform the skill. On top of all this she constantly complains about the Dr's not trusting her. If she would do the check off list then the Med Director would tell them that she performed the required skills safely and is cleared.
Is this so weird to have a skill check off list? Do ither clinics regularly just hire a fresh LVT and not require that they prove they can do rhe skills safely. Ive never worked anywhere that just let people go without confirming they can do the stuff.
EDIT/UPDATE
Thank you all. A Dr who has more pull than I do sent an email about her attitude. She argued about how to treat a patient and the Dr is understandably mad. So its now being addressed in a serious manner. We shall see what happens. Thank you!
