First and foremost,
I want everyone to realize that I do not have a personal vendetta against Nurses (I married one)or CANNT. A good health care team involves many disciplines, and we are just one of them. I just wish CANNT would do more to show that and not seem overlook our importance.

Secondly, when I say that CANNT has "Done It Again", I am strictly talking about keynote speakers. It is the "responsibility of each Technologist" in the field to try to further our education by applying to present a topic of interest at CANNT. We just cannot sit back and hope that someone will do it for us, we have to take the bull by the horns!

Last and most important, to the Chief Techs out there, motivate your staff to want to do more and to play a vital role in patient care. We are not just hi-tech mechanics. Also, interest them in CANNT and the benefits to meeting with our peers. We have the knowledge to figure out ideas from Doctors, Nurses and Techs on how to make patient care better.
