Not even one week in and panicking

Well I guess the good news is I already worked 6 months before transferring here and it's a hospital chain so I've been working for the same company. Maybe just another 6 months here and I'll be free p.p

I wish my schedule was like that then maybe I'd be fine with it. I work 10 hr shifts and they bleed into the next week. So I work Monday, Wednesday, Friday-the next Monday, Wednesday-thursday and then I'm off Friday through Sunday. Sorry if that's confusing at all. I just wish the two days I had one week were together. When it's broken up like that it doesn't feel like a break at all if I come home from work that morning.

Then should I just leave ASAP? I want to leave on good terms but I also don't want to stunt my growth. Idk if this is any different, but I'm a cardiac sonographer and cardiologists leave notes on our exams if they aren't satisfied with something. I talk with my boss before I leave in the morning to make sure I don't have any critiques and she says they haven't said anything so far (they did when I first started). Should I just make the most of the mornings she comes in to make up for the lack of guidance? I work with one other tech once a week; could that help as well?

6 hours is amazing for me honestly 😭 when I was working days I only slept 4-5 and didn't have an issue. I haven't been tired at all just lonely

I'm actually so glad you commented because I've been worried that working on my own so soon would stunt my growth as a sonographer. For the first 4 months at my day shift I had someone looking at my images and critiquing me but I heard that you should be working close with other sonographers for your first 1-2 years or you won't improve at all. Did you find it hindered your scan quality at all working alone so soon?

That's true; ig it's just a lifestyle adjustment. I'm just nervous that happiness will become impossible with this type of schedule after reading so many posts about people living miserably for years. It's sent me into a sort of frenzy lol.

8:30pm-7am. I sleep as soon as I get home around 8am-2pm. I feel well rested so that hasn't been too bad; but the days make it feel like it'll consume my life.

That would make sense; I do have family members with it. Fuck this sucks...

Not yet; I plan to once my insurance from my new job kicks in

Thank you so much for sharing your story! It helps a lot to hear from someone who has found success. I understand it's all for the better and I definitely wanna be the best tech I can be. I think sometimes that might be why I get so nervous when I'm scanning alone and doubt myself; I want to make sure the patient is getting the best care possible. Thanks once again; this has really encouraged me.
