How does your OR on call work?

By

At my hospital we only have three X-ray techs who do surgery. 1. 7a-3:30p 2. 8a-4:30p 3. 3p-11p

1&2 take turns being on call during the week and we all three rotate on call weekends. Whoever is 2 is on call therefore if there is something after 4:30 (within 30-45 min) or a case runs later than 4:30 we are instructed to stay until we finish, meaning we stay on the clock as regular rate and not on call rate. Is that right? One day I had a case start at 5 and they kept telling me doctor is here patient is about to come up and it took them toll 5:45pm to actually start the case and I didn’t get out till 9pm. I was told if I had clocked out then clocked back in I would get in trouble because that’s not the way they do it here. But the nurses in OR will clock out at their shift end time then clock back in if they have to stay why is it different for us? I can’t help but feel like I’m being ripped off.

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/

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 ...
