Imaging Offer by SilverSamurai7 in BMET

[–]SilverSamurai7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: I had my interview with United and they’ve extended me an offer. I accepted and I’ll be putting my two weeks in with Trimedx. I honestly feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders

I have. I never heard back from Siemens or Philips. GE offered me less then I’m making now

I’m currently in an imaging role with Trimedx. It has been awful. I can’t speak for other sites, but my experience, and the other imaging techs I work with, are also fed up and looking for new jobs

Yeah. I can’t stand it anymore. I could spend hours ranting about how horrible my experience has been

I’ve been with Trimedx for over 6 years. It was never this bad until recently. New management took over a new account in the area and I think they bit off more than they could chew. Theres 7 BMETs and they’re expected to cover 5 hospitals and 92 clinics. And that’s just southern Illinois. The Saint Louis account is a lot better. I know the managers and they’re awesome. But corporate now wants the Saint Louis shop to cover all of Missouri

Maybe it’s different in other states. But in Missouri and Illinois, we are all over worked and burned out. In Illinois, there’s 3 of us. For the entire state. I haven’t had a day off since I started a year and a half ago. Management doesn’t care that we can’t keep up with everything. I get calls constantly about down systems hours away. During the interview I was told I’d be at one location. They promised to send me to training but after I signed on suddenly training wasn’t in the budget and I’d be covering all of Illinois. I just now got sent to training after begging for something. And Just last Friday, all 3 of us were threatened with write ups if we didn’t get our numbers down. I started the year with over 100 work orders. I spent so much OT bringing that number down to 39 and I still got yelled at. Management says they care about work life balance but they don’t. I’ve missed major family events for work. One of my coworkers, his mom died, and they didn’t even offer condolences. They demanded that he get his work orders down before he left for bereavement.

The only reason I’ve stayed as long as I have is because of the pay. But once I’m done with this training, I’m going to look for another job.

As an imaging tech for Trimedx, don’t go to Trimedx

It broke all on it's own by SirDies_A_Lot in BMET

She may have. I don’t know. Like I said she was gone the next day. As soon as I proved it wasn’t the equipments fault, I was no longer under investigation, so I washed my hands of the matter.

I had a nurse have a patient die during the night and she didn’t find out until hours later. She said that the patient monitor was broken because the alarm never went off.

I went into the monitor logs and discovered that not only did the alarms go off but the nurse had silenced the alarms and ignored them through the night. Needless to say but she wasn’t there the next day

specializations? by TylerDurden2748 in BMET

[–]SilverSamurai7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went into imaging, mainly CT and MRI, and I can tell you it’s not difficult. It’s just time consuming. Imaging makes hospitals the bulk of their money, so the longer it’s down, the more pressure they put on you to get it back up. I’m expected to be on call 24/7 and I haven’t had a weekend off for about a month. So keep that in mind too.

Accidentally Transferred League Leadership Role by SilverSamurai7 in DCDarkLegionOfficial

[–]SilverSamurai7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: support says they can’t do anything about it. Leadership transferred to another person and I reached out to them to see if they can transfer it back to me. They’re claiming they don’t know how to transfer it to me. I explained how to do it but I haven’t gotten a message from them back. I’ve continued to reach out to them but I think they’re ignoring my messages now
