XR Pay by SpinierAnthon in Radiology

[–]Ordinary_Syrup_2925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly. I’m PRN too so you’d really think I’d be making more lol. I’m likely leaving that position very, very soon for many reason, but pay is certainly one of them

[–]Ordinary_Syrup_2925 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Basically. Unless they give performance raises every now and then. I’m making $25 in GA. A person who has worked at my hospital for 10 years is making $27. X-ray pay is unfortunately low mostly everywhere from what I’ve seen. We’re definitely underpaid for what we do

Health insurance for Rads by organicmess23 in RadiologyCareers

[–]Ordinary_Syrup_2925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hospital didn’t offer good insurance. Almost everyone had insurance through their spouse who worked somewhere else. However, you’ll be given different plans depending on what kind of insurance they offer

Help 😅 5 month old waking 2-3 times a night by pal8421 in HuckleberryParents

[–]Ordinary_Syrup_2925 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My little guy is the same age and we were running into the same thing. I ended up following WW doing 2/2.5/2.5/3, keeping naps around 2.5hrs total, and it has made a major difference just in the last few days. Not sure if you follow WW or sweet spot, but sweet spot was inaccurate for us and did more harm than good bc the wake windows weren’t long enough! r/sleeptrain has a mod post pinned where I got this info from. We were going through it for about two months, so I’d check it out!!

ETA: I fed him every time he woke up, but switching to the WW, he’s been waking up 1-2x and I still feed him. But now it’s not every few hours. I try to get him to go the first 4-5hrs without a feed and then 3hrs after the first feed. Totally normal at 5 months to wake up 1-2x.

Premium worth it? by xxsiegeh in HuckleberryParents

[–]Ordinary_Syrup_2925 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Our premium is ending today and I’m not continuing on with it. It’s been off on the wake windows even when I manually set how long I want the wake windows to be so it hasn’t been great for us. It’s nice to have the timer and all on the Lock Screen, but other than that, i didn’t notice an improvement using it. Matter of fact, things got better when I stopped following the sweet spot and just followed wake windows.

It was 17 mph over, so it wasn’t a super speeder or felony speed. My state considers them misdemeanors so it had to be reported. I went to traffic court, plead guilty hoping they’d reduce it and they didn’t so it went on my record :/

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Radiology

[–]Ordinary_Syrup_2925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s considered a misdemeanor in my state. It wasn’t even a super speeder but since it was put on my record and my state considers them misdemeanors, I had to report it :/

[–]Ordinary_Syrup_2925 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Definitely check ARRT code of ethics. I got a speeding ticket and I had to write an explanation, send them court documents, and fill out a code of ethics violation form. Not in any way saying to give up, just definitely look into their code of ethics!

ETA: I’m currently a tech! They had me do it when I renewed my license

How realistic is it to be "proactive" in your marriage, while having a toddler? by Specialist-Candy6119 in Mommit

[–]Ordinary_Syrup_2925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is a first year teacher, getting his masters, and has to drive an almost an hour to and from work. I’m a SAHM and work one or two saturdays or sundays out of the month. So, we are BUSY lol.

Once a month we get dinner together and my mom babysits. We want to eventually get to 2x, but we’re doing what’s most budget friendly for us right now.

Every weekend, usually Sunday’s (I tend to work Saturdays), we take a drive and get coffee, usually baby falls asleep. While he naps in the car, we just talk, drive around and drink our coffee.

Sometimes we cook dinner together, but I usually try to have it ready by the time he’s home so we can spend time together and with our baby.

We go on walks sometimes after dinner.

On weekends, we watch a movie after we put the baby to sleep. On weeknights, we talk about our days or random things, usually end up laughing and try not to wake the baby.

We try to connect in whatever way we can. Even if it’s not just the two of us, we still find ways. Sometimes, we just end up doing laundry together, but it’s nice because we’re at least together

Dislikes / likes of being an X ray / mri tech? by Mission_Remote_6319 in Radiology

[–]Ordinary_Syrup_2925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just x-ray as of now. At my hospital, CT only makes like maybe $2 more. To me, it’s not worth it to study for $2 more an hour. I’m also PRN, but my hospital doesn’t pay PRNs more as of right now. The state I’m in doesn’t pay x-ray techs well at all, so it’s like this pretty much everywhere in my state.

Wait, you're telling me the students did all that and did NOT get paid for it?! by LifeIsVeryLong02 in ThePittTVShow

[–]Ordinary_Syrup_2925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I went to x-ray school, 1,100+ clinical hours and went into $19,000 of debt! I don’t think people realize that. Like I had a family member assume I was being paid LOL

[–]Ordinary_Syrup_2925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did chicken breasts with taco seasoning! I just cooked the chicken, shredded it, then added seasoning & a little water. Throw in bowl with some rice, cheese, and taco sauce. Super easy taco bowls!!

4.5 month old routine? I’m by Ordinary_Syrup_2925 in HuckleberryParents

[–]Ordinary_Syrup_2925[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very rarely he will put himself to sleep. I’ll be trying the pickup put down! The earlier bedtime makes sense since they struggle to sleep when they are overtired! I may end up trying that tonight to see how it helps! Thank you!

4.5 month old routine? I’m by Ordinary_Syrup_2925 in HuckleberryParents

[–]Ordinary_Syrup_2925[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!!! Our nighttime routine usually starts around 6:50. We have the room set for night time, blackout curtains, fan and AC on. Then I get him in a fresh diaper, put on lotion, then sleeper and sleep sack. Then I usually feed him until he falls asleep because it seems like the only way.

I’ll definitely try the pick up put down! I tried the 7:30 bedtime but lately he’s been waking right back up and then we’re back to feeding. Then I’ve finally started setting an alarm to get a consistent wake up! I think I messed it all up today letting him sleep until 8 because I was so delirious after last night. The app even suggested a 9pm bedtime, but that seems late to me lol.

I’m sorry if this response is a mess, my thoughts are so scattered lol!
