so i've been wondering how to do this lately...
i'm currently not working at the practice i usually work at because i'm at school...
however, starting in the summer i'll be returning back to where i worked last summer for 3.5 months and this past winter break...and i think i'd like to ask the dr-owners if i can start learning how to do more things around the hospital, especially things like drawing blood - basically i want to do more things that a tech would do, rather than what an assistant would do. i'm not certified or anything, but then again, none of the techs where i work are certified.
i worked there full time last summer, and full time over winter break, and i think i've gained a lot of trust from them because they let me do a lot more things than i used to be able to when i first started, so i'd like to ask them if i can do more...
in your experience, what's the best and most respectful way to ask them something like this? i don't want to sound too demanding, but i am REALLY REALLY eager to learn how to do these kinds of things. i love hands on kinds of stuff, so i really want to learn.
i know part of their wariness is because they're afraid once they train me i'd want to get a pay raise or something (they have issues with other employees in terms of pay), but that's definitely NOT the reason why i want to learn more.
any advice/tips are appreciated!
