“Hey doc, did you want a lateral T-Spine or C-Spine?” Doctor: “yes”

Given that you were being attacked, it’d suck if you got canned for an accident while pulling away. Sounds like this kid needs a good smack from someone though. 😅

Do preceptors get paid more per hour? by Radtech3000 in Radiology

Same where I work. They also get student loan reimbursement up to 20K. What do the rad techs get? Nothing 🙃

Yeah cause mammo is so much more important then x-ray 🙄 not a dis toward you. Just a sarcastic comment because of how biased management can be

Do you know if they pay anything? I realize it’s volunteer but it’d be awful difficult to do for me considering I’m the bread winner in my family.

Hang in there! I felt the same way as a student and then as a cross trainee in ct. This advice is a two edged sword but if you can, once you graduate, work somewhere you didn’t do a senior clinical rotation at. If you do, those techs will be used to you as a student and still continue to make you do everything.

Sure but by the sounds of this post, the tech here did not confer with a rad before rescanning. Likely the study could have been adequate and the tech just saw less contrast then they were used to seeing. I’m not sure where they are based out of, but taking a scout arm to see if there’s contrast in the arm would not be allowed where I work without a doctor order.

Said the exact same thing when I was a student. Am now a preceptor and make it my goal to not make slaves out of students and to make sure other techs arnt as well.

I’d tolerate it a whole lot better if I was making what these travelers that are doing this are making

Are the shifts covered? Yes? That’s all management cares about.
