New x-ray tech, starting first full time job tomorrow and just found out I’m pregnant

By

Hi everyone, I just graduated in May and am very excited to finally have a real full time job. I got hired (at an outpatient center) just 2 1/2 weeks ago, and during that time I found out I was pregnant. I went to the doctor today and I’m around 8 weeks. I’m incredibly nervous to tell my manager about it as I’m literally just starting. Just wanted to maybe get some words from those who have been working as techs. Should I tell her tomorrow right away on my first day or should I wait until maybe next week? I feel like I should probably say something tomorrow, but like I said I’m just incredibly nervous. I don’t know if it matters but I have had 2 miscarriages before so that’s another thing I’m worried about.

It’s funny, they have another tech who got pregnant last year right when she started and she’ll be coming back from maternity leave early August. So, it’s kind of like a repeat for them. Anyways, thank you if you have any words of wisdom for me.

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 šŸ˜Š 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/
