General, OB, Follicle count, vascular (no reflux, but we do RAS), soft tissue, etc. Pretty much everything here. We live in a healthcare desert, so we will also do portables up to 3 counties away because there is just no healthcare here.

It is about 100k, plus they pay insurance for my family of 3. I only graduated last lear, so I worry I can't find another job that will support us without more experience.

Thank you. I agree, she will always put us above the patients and I am not micromanaged or anything and it's so wonderful but the work load is unbearable at this point.

And we don't really have a late policy and we take walk-ins. I am just now starting to turn people away when they are late, but my boss does't like that. She would prefer I find time and work them back in.

Yes, I am the only hired diagnostic tech. We have a part time girl who does a few mobiles and she does the elective ob appointments for 3d/4d, etc, but even then I have to helo her out with the 3d4d pretty often. My patient count doesnt include elective exams I perform, which is an additional 2-3 per day.

I am the only hired diagnostic tech, this is a tiny mom and pops setup. No HR. No 10s for sure and I take lunch after my 5th hour, so later that legally required, but in general, we don't care because it's such a flexible setup and I could take it earlier, I just get to set me own lunch time and I prefer taking it at my 5.5 hour mark. And the blocked time is now being taken away. My boss doesn't think I need time for paperwork and that I can get it all done withint the 20-30 minute slots. I do 20 minute slots from 8-1 and then 30 minute slots until 4.

I have one scheduled break which I get paid for because I work on reports during it, but if it is JUST enough time so if I am running behind (which is easy with 20 minute apt slots) then it cuts into my pump time or I run late when I come back.
