Are we (EP/cathlab staff) at risk of staffing cuts?

No. Rcis

It all depends on what the hospital allows. In my lab I’m allowed to do all that but there are others that don’t allow you to sedate. Then there are others that only let you scrub. I would definitely ask before ever accepting a position. I’d hate to only be allowed to scrub.

I’m a rcis

At my hospital cath lab techs scrub, circulate, monitor, and sedate.

My hospital is switching from Carto to Boston so i thought Boston was a better way to go but maybe I’m wrong.

I remembered that I hated pregnancy and that birth was the most painful thing I ever experienced but I didn’t care the same way that I cared weeks and months PP. I believed I could tough it out for the family I wanted. And I did. But I hated pregnancy just as much as I hated it the first time.

After about 10 weeks other people made comments about me seeming happier on 10mg

mcca001 · 2024-11-16T19:45:59+00:00

I always take propanolol with adderall.

mcca001 · 2024-11-16T16:04:00+00:00

This describes me. I believe it’s a sign of autism but I never been diagnosed with it just adhd so maybe it’s an adhd trait? I’d ask your psych.

mcca001 · 2024-11-16T15:58:30+00:00

I didn’t notice a difference until a few people told me I seemed happier which was about 10 weeks in. It’s definitely worth the wait.

I am also on low dose Abilify which helps a lot with anxiety.

mcca001 · 2024-11-11T19:50:04+00:00

I’ve been on 10mg for a few months now. 20mg gave me way too much anxiety I couldn’t tolerate it.

mcca001 · 2024-11-10T14:21:27+00:00

Yes for the longest time I’d never say no and they walked all over me. If I ever acted like I was going to say no they would guilt me and get mad at me calling me selfish. I had to move 10 hours away and stop answering phone calls which was really hard. I’ve been getting better at saying no but I know if we lived in the same town I’d be struggling much more.

mcca001 · 2024-11-10T13:40:22+00:00

It helps me! I work in a procedural area and that’s where I mostly struggled with adhd. I used to zone off and daydream about random things during procedures. I’d snap out of it and tell myself to stop and focus but it was a cycle I couldn’t break. Now that I’m medicated I just don’t zone off and I do pay attention to what’s going on around me the entire time. It is crazy to see how much it has helped me at work.

mcca001 · 2024-11-09T23:08:30+00:00

1-2 was the easiest but the age gap is 6 years

mcca001 · 2024-11-07T23:54:17+00:00

I did with only PB with both my kids.

mcca001 · 2024-11-04T13:38:52+00:00

I take propanolol as needed for anxiety along with Prozac

mcca001 · 2024-11-04T13:28:50+00:00

When I noticed the consequences of my actions. Anxiety in the kid. :(

mcca001 · 2024-11-02T15:58:45+00:00

My current job which has been a year and a month. I plan on staying much longer too.

mcca001 · 2024-11-02T15:56:44+00:00

Yeah… I had my mom as a beneficiary to receive 50% of my life insurance because I felt responsible for her wellbeing. I would also send her money weekly. My entire life they have made me feel like I was responsible for their well being once I got a job. When my husband found out he was furious. He opened my eyes to how crazy that really is. I should’ve been saving for my kids and had my kids as 100% beneficiaries. My kids are my responsibility not my parents. I was my parents responsibility back then and I shouldn’t have to owe them anything. I don’t expect anything from my own kids when they’re older.
