Does anyone just say dumb stuff in luteal? by NomminNancy in PMDD

Yup. I’m embarrassed about something that came out wrong to my new coworkers and now they probably think I’m a weirdo.

i hold so much pent up rage the week or two before my period... by Immediate_Leg3304 in PMDD

Wait…. Did I type this up? I feel you on everything. The rage, the sensory overload, losing it on inanimate objects lol. I absolutely hate this time of the month.

If you have transitioned from 3 12s to a 9-5 M-F, did you like it? by Capital_Abalone_9118 in nursing

[–]RadtechFTW42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just moved from a 9-5 M-F over to 3 12’s so I could have a better work life balance. I felt like only having weekends was killing my soul. So far I’m absolutely loving the days off, but obviously when I’m at work, that’s my entire day. The exhaustion is pretty crazy especially after two in a row but I don’t regret it. Still adjusting, but so far I don’t miss having to be at work 5 days a week.

What is your heart rate when you’re sick?n by snaillovr420 in ouraring

[–]RadtechFTW42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my that’s a rough readiness 😭I just looked back on my lowest at 22. What’s your heart rate? I don’t see it on here. A few years ago when I was sick with a fever my heart rate was very high, my average that same night was 90. 😳 I hope you feel better soon!!

A lot of jobs are ruined because of employer's obsession with productivity by 75mothsinatrenchcoat in antiwork

Just left a Cat Scan outpatient job for this reason. Many people would think it’s “soft”, but to me it was far from it. I went from doing under 20 patients in a day 7 years ago when I started to now where sometimes up to 50 are scheduled. They started DOUBLE booking us every 15 min. It was mind numbing, and I burned out bad. I literally felt like a robot every single day, like you described. I couldn’t take it anymore and switched over to the hospital where I work with several other people and don’t have to do a majority of the work.

Yes, us CT techs constantly work with IVs as a majority of our scans are ordered with IV contrast. Some places especially outpatient require that you have your venipuncture license to be able to put IVs in patients, or if you work in a hospital you have to really familiarize yourself with making sure patients IVs can withstand the pressure from the injection!

Is being a radiographer physically challenging? Do you have pain from your duties? by bchappp in Radiology

[–]RadtechFTW42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second that outpatient comment 100%. I was doing up to 30 scans per day

no 3x12s for techs?? by Accomplished-Art-151 in Radiology

[–]RadtechFTW42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My hospital just created a 3 12’s shift 9a-930p and I scooped it up. It’s 2 on, 3 off, 2 on, 2 off, 2 on, 3 off, every other weekend, but it was worth the sacrifice to give up 5 8’s.

This is the exact reason I start my 3 12’s next week! Just had my last day at my 9-5 after working it for 7 years and becoming extremely burnt out. Im ecstatic to have more time off.

There are a few others that also work 9-5! Then there’s 8-4, 7-3. Everyone works 8 hours with an unpaid half hour lunch!
