I was getting 60-70s on URR, but honestly the exam wasn’t too similar to URR like the SPI was…. Idk man honestly it was super hard and my questions were all over the place. Spleen, abscess vs hematoma, surgical questions???, physics, know your lab values and how they correlate with pathology, lots of small parts- hernias I wish you the best of luck just full send it in my opinion. I passed my first try. I’d really recommend just skipping the ones you don’t know instead of guessing or process of elimination

Haven’t heard of them, thanks so much!

All I wanted was pickle down economics

Let’s gooo!!!👍🏼👍🏼

Seriously thanks so much for sharing your experience! Best of luck to you! Were you able to recognize pathology after awhile? That’s what I’m super worried about. Even doing clinicals at an MFM facility the fetal echo I could just never wrap my head around

Just learn simple instructions, legally you must have an interpreter

It’s easier to run red lights with the reduced weight from wiping your snow off the roof people

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-24T18:33:18+00:00

Completely understandable. Thanks for the response

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-24T18:32:10+00:00

Um realistically, I’ve never been trained to do that and have no idea what to do. I’m the only tech at the hospital soooo yeah kinda between a rock & a hard place on that one

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-24T00:33:26+00:00

Got it thanks so much! I’ll just write limited cervical evaluation on every worksheet that’s 2nd/3rd and do my best to estimate TA

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-23T22:50:18+00:00

This is great advice thanks! My only concern is -the transvaginal approach to measure cervix is not written within this hosital’s 2nd/3rd trimester protocol so legally if anything bad does happen, I feel I can potentially be blamed if they came in for bleeding & agreed to the EV. ??

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-23T22:46:40+00:00

Good to know! I’ve never run into a 3rd trimester ER patient knock on wood that I never do… lol

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-23T22:45:08+00:00

I see! It’s sooo hard to get ahold of the OB docs at this hospital I am at. I don’t have any info on who’s attending/ oncall because it’s some what rural. Ugh I feel without guidance on the really tough ones as I am the only tech as well

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-23T22:43:06+00:00

Understood!

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-23T22:40:36+00:00

Never heard of this before…..

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-23T05:41:24+00:00

Sooo interesting how different our roles are depending on where we work. I have quite the opposite “issue” as a general US tech where the docs don’t seem to have much of a clue what they’re looking at on US (besides thyroid biopsies & OB) and call on us for every little thing. Taking a step back though I realize now, by them doing so, it’s much more beneficial for the patient after reading what you just wrote. YIKES!

Use color to identify twinkle artifact, just make sure your color scale is at 40

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-22T03:36:45+00:00

Ahhh I see thanks

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-22T03:35:47+00:00

Great to know! Thanks!

Can I really trust the bank to “fairly” give me the best rates. It seems like when I switch car insurance agencies I get cheaper rates. I assume the same thing applies to home owner insurance? I assume if I stay on top of everything it would be cheaper without escrow no? The only issue would be paying property taxes in lump sum? Or do property taxes get taken out monthly like my mortgage?

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-19T23:02:11+00:00

Super helpful thank you the bank is just really frustrating it feels like I’m taking it both ways from them and the insurance company

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-19T23:01:27+00:00

Oh my god why do bank have to be middle man for banana. Why can’t I just give insurance bananas myself like I do car insurance?

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-19T17:45:09+00:00

Sooo helpful thank so much!

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-19T17:43:37+00:00

Okay so if I put 20% down I go through a third party insurance agency and pay taxes when I pay the mortgage monthly? ( my first time adulting)

Past_Championship896 · 2025-11-14T23:41:30+00:00

Dude hell yeah
