I guess so....I think I have just come from a different side of things... one where the more you know the better off the hospital is for having you iykwim? I guess the practice in Sydney put a lot of emphasis on nurses learning more, but still making sure all the other stuff was done. Our basic policy for that was once everything was done to keep the animals in the best condition we could, than we could branch out & do more of whatever we wanted, like some nurses were heaps into admin stuff and did that, some were heaps into surgery and concentrated on that, I was into behaviour and nurse training, so I did that ykwim? But the additions to the basic job was that, additions and we got paid according to what we did. If one of the girls didn't want to do anything more, they didn't. If one did, they did. We were paid for what our responsibilities were. And thats what I loved about it.
