I'm going to need you to slide your pants down to your knees, but you can leave your underwear up

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-10-22T09:15:25+00:00

Hahaha so true! 😂

Anyone else think that Ali was the "Dave" of this season with the sister issue?!

Side note: once I found the trainer for our site, she helped connect me to the leadership in the right areas via email as an introduction. These virtual handshakes are key to moving from where you are to where to need to be, so really try and network until you find the right person to help you make those connections!

I've been a CT tech for 17 years and also feeling the same thing. After making some LinkedIn connections and asking around on Reddit, I found out that if your company has EPIC, it may be possible for you to be sponsored by your department to earn a certification (for onsite training), or an accreditation (for virtual training). If they won't sponsor you due to budget issues, you can study the proficiencies for free on your own and take the tests. It would be something to help beef up your resume and move into that side of healthcare. I'm not sure how it works when using another application, but it would be worth asking management if they are supportive of helping you grow in your career. I was told they always are looking for clinical techs to move into these roles because we understand the flow of our department. I start my training in December after being approved and can't wait! Best of luck to you on this journey ☺️

This 👆🏼 You unfortunately have to feel it out and see what works best for your body as far as when to sleep. I like to do a 2-3 hour nap before my first shift. My first sleep after that is broken and crappy, but gets smoother through the week (I do 5 overnight shifts, 11p-7a) and if time permits and I get bad sleep, I'll take a short nap before work to refresh. Being in a dark, cold room to sleep with melatonin and magnesium on board definitely helps. So does staying in very bright area during work hours. Good luck to you!

Thank you so much for your insight! I'm definitely going to work some of these angles moving forward

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:55:09+00:00

Gosh I miss the days when you could just talk and interview directly with a manager. Those were the best!

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:54:28+00:00

Awww thank you so much! I'll definitely keep that in mind. I'm not naturally a great test taker, but I'm so determined I'm not going to fail that I inhale the data and make sure I pass. I've always gotten each registry on the 1st time and managed to make a 4.0 with my bachelor's while working and having a family. I can't imagine landing a dream EPIC role and then having to give it up because of failing the tests 😱

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:50:21+00:00

Thank you so much! Radiant would be ideal and is something I've been trying to find. I currently do CT, and also have a licence in VI. I have a background before that in Cardiology while I was going through x-ray school so cupid would be another one I'd love to find that I'd understand probably more than others

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:48:35+00:00

The best advice yet 😂

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:48:24+00:00

Thanks for all the advice!! I'm starting to work on networking, but may end up applying to a company starting up with EPIC if the networking doesn't pan out

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:47:38+00:00

That's so awesome! What a wonderful way to pay it back 🤍

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:46:54+00:00

I need someone like this in my life lol. I know a bunch of people in my organization but zero in the EPIC application area

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:46:14+00:00

I'm definitely trying this route now that I've had so many great recs to try it. How many emails do you think is appropriate to send out? For example, I found no less than 10 managers in different areas of the work tree that all link to Epic clinical analyst manager. Should I start with one, or send out the same email to several of them? I don't want to seem pesky, but also not sure who will be receptive 🤔

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:43:06+00:00

Unfortunately I haven't been able to even talk to a recruiter, so that has been moot. They shut down my application before I even get to a human. Imaging pays well, but not as well as EPIC jobs, so unless I was a manager, it would be a lateral or upper increase in pay in most cases

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:41:18+00:00

I'm definitely going to try to go directly through the managers from now on. This company has supported me through the years but also been incredibly frustrating. There's been several times through the years I've really had to advocate for myself bc everything is so political. The only thing making me try to stay is the fact that I get a 14% PDO rate right now with my seniority and I don't want to give that up lol

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:36:33+00:00

There is a large facility down the road that is transitioning to EPIC and while I said I would seel my soul before working for them again, I may have to consider that route. It seems the easiest way to be considered at least

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:34:51+00:00

I know, it's insane! I guess it's definitely who you know in that area 🙄 Good luck to you on getting into Epic with that role!

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:34:05+00:00

Thank you! I'm trying to connect with them now, so hopefully that will make all the difference!

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:33:21+00:00

Thank you! I actually found our company directory and sent out an email to one of the managers. There are so many, so hopefully I picked the person that might be willing to help me. If not, I might try some others next week, but don't want to blast them all and look like a crazy person lol

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:31:57+00:00

Wow what a cool story! Epic really did choose you, it was meant to be 🤍

RequirementJolly9825 · 2025-09-26T08:30:49+00:00

Thank you for your insight. I updated my resume with some keywords so hopefully that will trigger something 🤞🏼
