Career change....

By

I’ve been a tech now for 8 years, and quite frankly, I am burned out. I’ve had many different roles as a technologist- from outpatient clinics to urgent cares to level 1 trauma centers to cardiac cath/IR/EP.

I currently work in a small hospital in the cath/IR lab. We don’t do many cases, so a lot of our time is spent as helpers on the unit, where our cases of COVID are piling up. Most of our inpatients are COVID positive.

I am hitting that point where.... I don’t want to do this anymore. I hate working holidays. I hate being on call. I hate COVID. Even patients are beginning to make me grumpy. I’m reaching that point where I don’t want to go to work anymore, and I’ve never felt that before. I would be perfectly content sitting at home, lol. It’s making me cynical too because all my friends work corporate or teaching jobs, and they’re talking to me about how much WFH sucks or remote teaching sucks. I get it.... it ALL sucks right now, but I feel like it sucks harder for us HCW.... idk.

I don’t want to be in healthcare anymore, but I don’t know how to transition. I did get my bachelor’s in business in 2017, but I’m now going on 4 years without any experience in that side of things. So I have no idea how or where to go from here. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this and has transitioned to something else...

Thanks guys!

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/

Question regarding ultrasound

By
Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
