Thinking I may have made a mistake…

By

A few months ago I left my job at a level twtrauma pediatric hospital.

I loved the job, my coworkers were awesome, hospital was new, equipment was top of the line, learned a huge variety of skills (fluoro, surgery,traumas, etc) I was really good at my job and felt I really made a difference. I was able to challenge myself constantly. However, my manager sucked, the pay really sucked, call rotation sucked, no chance for advancement, 5days a week, 2-3 weekend days a month, busted my butt working.

Now I work at a hospital mostly doing abdomens and chests (90% of the work). The pay is significantly better, significantly lighter workload, better manager, 4/days during the weekdays, most of my coworkers are alright, one call weekend every 4-6weeks, I’m training in mammo now which is a big reason I left (I wanted to advance my career and learn another modality). This is the job people in my area fight for because it’s a great company.

Sounds great right?! Except I don’t feel that fulfillment like I use to. I’ve been thinking about going back to peds but feel like this is an awesome job and I’ll get the feeling of “making a difference” soon as I learn mammo. I’m hoping anyways.

Anyone have any opinions or advice I would greatly appreciate hearing it.

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/
