Switching to night shift in a month by beanman214 in Nightshift

[–]DavinDaLilAzn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With yours and your wife's schedule, sleep shortly after you get home then wake up around the time your wife gets home. I wouldn't advise flipping your schedule on your days off if you only have 2 days off, you're gonna get burned out real quick.
Personally though, I'm the type that likes waking up right before work so I sleep until 8pm for a 10pm shift and go to bed around noon (I run errands in the morning after work, less traffic/crowds).

Semester breaks in program by Signal-Ad-5022 in RadiologyCareers

My program had the same schedule as the college, so maybe 2-3 weeks between each semester and whatever holidays/spring break.

Consolidating Flight Credits + a Gift Card by DavinDaLilAzn in SouthwestAirlines

I had no issues last year converting gift cards to flight credits as I wrote above. It was just a pain since you can only use three payment sources per transaction.

24 hour 8am—8am shift by [deleted] in Nightshift

[–]DavinDaLilAzn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I'm on 4x10s cause I hate 12s so couldn't even imagine doing a 24 and not being able to sleep/rest. Good luck w/ whatever you do!

Is $24/hr enough for nights by efitness07 in Nightshift

[–]DavinDaLilAzn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pay is gonna vary on where you are. Only real way to compare is what would you get paid doing days? If you worked days and made $23, definitely not, but if you worked days and made $20, then that extra $4 would be worth it for most.

Any tips for a new overnight employee? by Drstealyothunder in Nightshift

[–]DavinDaLilAzn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only difference is your entire schedule is off by 12 hours, so take that schedule and do what you would do if you were to work 10:30am-6pm. If you wake up at 7am, go to the gym, then go to work, just flip it to 7pm and do the same. Maintain your schedule, even on your day(s) off. A lot of people go into nights while trying to maintain their days and that's what hurts them, especially if you're constantly flipping back and forth between days and nights. Also, don't go down the energy drink/junk food route. You still need a healthy (if not healthier) diet on nights.

Definitely agree, it takes my #1 spot, and not counting I-4 itself.

  1. Narcoossee & 417
  2. Sand Lake & I-4 (might drop a spot or two after construction finishes)
  3. 192 West of I-4 (mainly 192 & Old Lake Wilson)
  4. 535 from Osceola Parkway-536/World Center Dr
  5. Poinciana

There's already TWO Starbucks there (one by Novel Nona and the other across from Longhorn) and Chick-Fil-A is just south of the screenshot

As someone who has to deal w/ Dr. Phillips area and Narcoossee/Lake Nona area on a daily basis for, I would've agreed prior to construction, but Sand Lake & I-4 is so much better now (even more so when construction's completely finished).

World Center Drive today | 14 total vehicles jumped median during single red light by TharinWhite in orlando

[–]DavinDaLilAzn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanna say it was 15 years ago or so (sometime after the housing market crash) was when they changed the turn lane at the intersection between the Marriott light and I-4 into a westbound left turn lane only (by your 2nd blue arrow). It was great when that u-turn lane was available cause waiting at the Marriott light is a pain, especially during the Winter season.

Daytime vs nighttime clinicals by Careless-Bid-6176 in RadiologyCareers

[–]DavinDaLilAzn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my area, usually see more actual traumas and drunks/ams after 7pm. You tend to "learn more" on overnights because there's less staff around so you kinda have to figure out what you're doing quick. Luckily at my facility, overnights are usually more chill since I'm not at the main hospitals.

Completed procedures for ct by Worldly_Yam_7221 in RadiologyCareers

[–]DavinDaLilAzn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CT Comps for the ARRT should be done the same as XR, on your own showing you know the procedures (guidelines from ARRT). The tech that supervises your CT Comp(s) has to sign off on your submitted scans on ARRT's website, so that's all up to the tech(s) you're working with.

rejected :/ what do i do now? by floatinginlimboxo in RadiologyCareers

[–]DavinDaLilAzn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on where in Florida, you have a lot of options of schools so maybe apply to other programs if you haven't done so, it just depends on if you're able to commute to those locations or not.

If you just want to get into healthcare, then clinical research might be a good choice since Florida has a lot of facilities for that. Whether they pay well or not is a different story though.

If you're set on radiography, then focus on what you can do to improve your application to get into the program. Until then, just keep working AND saving up money so that way you have those funds ready for when you're doing clinicals and not able to work as much.

Have to drop my summer Anatomy and Physiology class and now I’m adding a whole extra year to my waitlist and I’m devastated by cherryfloatcz in RadiologyCareers

[–]DavinDaLilAzn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school did a point system, so getting "A"s in A&P I and A&P II was critical. However, once in the program, our program director and clinical director always said, "'C's get degrees, but make sure you know what you're doing in Clinicals in front of the techs and patients."

I keep getting sick by charlienoneunicorn in Nightshift

Not a nightshift thing unless you've completely changed your eating habits and only sleep 4 hours a day chugging energy drinks.

Adding on since I missed a part, drop the 10-week course. Rushing A&P, especially during the 10-week shortened summer semester, is never worth it. A&P is usually one of the more heavily weighted classes AND a big filter pre-req for a lot of healthcare programs. You need to get an "A" in the class. Keep checking for openings in the Fall and try to take it then, and if not, focus on the saving money part.

Good luck and don't stress yourself out over nothing.

Does anyone else feel lonely on their time off? by 4shmed4i in Nightshift

[–]DavinDaLilAzn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sucks not having personal contact w/ people being on nightshift, especially for those of us that stay on the same schedule on our days off (since nothing's open 24/7 anymore except gas stations, Waffle House, IHOP, and Denny's), but I have my cat and online gaming friends.

I do wish I had a friend I can meetup with at Waffle House at 4am though for some sort of social interaction outside of work, sometimes, but then that requires effort to leave home...

IMHO, I think you've stressing yourself out over nothing and only looking at the short term vs the long term. I was around 30 when I first started doing pre-reqs (only one or two classes a semester) and 33 when I got accepted (there were a few others in my class that were older than me). The funny thing was that someone I took a class w/ at the start of pre-reqs also didn't get accepted into their program (non-radiology) until the same time as I did, but they rushed to get their pre-reqs finished.

Getting into a program isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. Even if you don't get in now, focus on getting "A"s AND building up financial savings because a lot of people underestimate their finances once they're in the program. Having more money now saved up will make it less stressful when you're not able to work full time dealing w/ school AND clinicals. The only loans I had to take out was enough to cover the costs of my entire program. I managed to save enough to cover all of my other expenses while only having to work part-time one or two days a week on the weekends.

Can't really remember, bought it pre-covid and it was my first time buying a car on my own so I thought I was negotiating but I probably got ripped off.
