Title: Just a tech from the Pacific Nortwest
Post by: justatech on December 18, 2008, 08:56:20 AM
I hought I'd introduce myself, I am crystal, as my name implies I am just a tech, so please by nice :). I am currently living in Washington and working for a hospital based Dialysis unit. After reading alot of posts on here about the bigger ones, I am thinking I am glad I don't. So feel free to drop by and say hi, and your more than welcome to come visit. It is beautiful up here.

Hi Crystal!  I'm snowed in here in Bothell.  Where are you?  I'm not on dialysis, currently, I'm CKD stage 3/4.  Drive safely on your way to/from work!

Welcome to our community!  We are so glad you joined.  It does show that you care about those in your care.  And you are not 'just a tech' if you are doing your job to the best of your ability.  So keep on keeping on.  Keep reading and keep posting.  We would like to hear from your point of view as well.  You are now part of our IHD family. :grouphug;
Looking forward to hearing more from you.

I am currently working in Longview, which for those of you who are not familiar with Washington, it is about an hour North of Vancouver, and 2 hours south of Seattle. I am happy that you have all made me feel welcome here.  Though I work in Longview, I am seriously thinking about doing the traveling thing, haven't completely decided yet. I like the snow, well, kind of. hate it at this point. I lived in Az for many years before coming here so anything below 90* is too cold for me.
