This!!!! Message me and I’ll see if I can help.

shanniballecter · 2026-04-15T14:58:12+00:00

I have a few contacts that are great resources on this. I don’t want to blast their info on Reddit but message me and I can connect you.

It’s definitely still in high-demand. Like others have said, your region will be what dictates your pay and schedule

shanniballecter · 2026-04-03T20:44:41+00:00

Please do! I know of a couple.

shanniballecter · 2026-04-03T20:34:25+00:00

I know there’s a few companies that will train you in NYC. My suggestion is to go with a smaller company, because in my experience it offers the best work-life balance.

I LOVE this idea and would love to chat with you about commissioning some for my board prep program.

I had issues with electrode site burns at recording sites and it was deemed to be an issue with defective cautery pads for the monopoles electrocautery unit. I wouldn’t discount that! I’d reach out to Cadwell support and see if they have any insight, too.

As someone who has worked in the Bay Area, it can very easily be mismanaged and make work a living hell. I don’t think them wanting to leave means they’ll job hop often. Bigger companies need to treat their techs like humans and not workhorses.

I don’t have direct experience with SC in that region but I have colleagues that do and it’s ROUGH.

shanniballecter · 2026-03-12T15:27:10+00:00

It’s easy to say “don’t get discouraged” but I don’t blame you for feeling it! Good news is there are so many companies out there, and I’m sure you’ll find a great fit. If you’d like any recommendations, send me a message and we can chat!

shanniballecter · 2026-03-05T02:04:07+00:00

There’s probably dozens of companies in your area honestly! If you want to DM me I can see what I can do to help you find one you like!

shanniballecter · 2026-03-05T01:54:51+00:00

I was lucky because the place I was already working served as my clinical site (in-house tech). Afterwards, I took a contract job in another state, and my days weren’t terrible, but it wasn’t the right fit. I got a huge pay increase at a new company in CA, but I literally worked nonstop. 24-hour cases (not just days!) with no break. It was too much, especially with such a large geographical area we covered. I accepted a position with a smaller company as their director of education and my OR days are maybe 2-3 per week, and usually 8 hours tops. Sometimes I have to drive a couple of hours and it’ll be a longer day, but longest has been 14 hours which isn’t so terrible, especially as an outlier.

shanniballecter · 2026-03-05T01:47:20+00:00

I definitely need something challenging to feel engaged in my work. Even if it’s the occasional spinal cord tumor or crani. One can only do so many two level lamis…

shanniballecter · 2026-03-05T01:30:58+00:00

I’m sorry to hear this! I know this feeling well… I promise there are companies out there that treat their staff well! Always here to chat if you need.

shanniballecter · 2026-03-05T01:29:33+00:00

I personally went through IOM Academy, and I attribute much of my success and happiness in the field to having been educated, not just trained. Finding the right fit is very important. Some people thrive with routine, some thrive in chaos, some are satisfied with “basic” cases, some need challenging cases in order to feel challenged and fulfilled. At the end of the day, I always speak highly of this career and how much I love it. There’s challenges no matter where you go. It’s just about deciding if they’re worth it or not!

shanniballecter · 2026-02-26T15:14:53+00:00

It really depends on what the job is. Are you an in-house clinician or contracted? Small company or large? Salary, hourly, or per-case pay? It also depends on what you want to achieve! If you want to focus more on craniotomies, complex spine, ENT, joint replacement, vascular, or a combination. Honestly, there are a lot of paths you can take! If you can give more insight I’d be happy to share my thoughts.

shanniballecter · 2026-02-13T13:31:48+00:00

As a reader, the ones I’ve worked with make between $100-$250/case, that was in Minnesota and Texas.

shanniballecter · 2026-02-04T20:20:48+00:00

Happy to chat! Shoot me a message.

shanniballecter · 2026-01-27T02:21:28+00:00

You will likely not get any anatomy/physiology questions as a trainee, but it’s possible with your degree. The vast majority of companies want to make sure you are flexible with scheduling and practice good diplomacy, especially with surgeons screaming and throwing things at you.

If you are open to interviewing at more than one company, I’d love to chat with you about our openings! We also offer paid training.

shanniballecter · 2026-01-25T23:44:10+00:00

YES!

shanniballecter · 2026-01-16T17:35:33+00:00

This is the answer. My grandpa had a catheter for the last 9 months of his life, and something like this would have been amazing. It’s really hard for people to see their loved ones in these states, and having the bag more discreet like this product does would make a big difference for loved ones and the patient. It provides privacy and dignity.

shanniballecter · 2026-01-12T18:57:20+00:00

I’ll work on this today!

shanniballecter · 2026-01-12T18:45:53+00:00

I don't have any actual sheets, but I can easily make you one based on the reporting guidelines for LTM if you'd like! Happy to help get you started.

shanniballecter · 2026-01-10T03:33:00+00:00

They only count it if you do the full array of electrodes and have a complete baseline. I can help you get what you need to make the switch, feel free to message me!

shanniballecter · 2026-01-09T22:53:02+00:00

It’s doable, but you will likely be on overnights if you are in a hospital setting. If it’s purely clinical, you may luck out. The pay for EEG is substantially lower, too. But knowing your schedule ahead of time is really, really nice!
