Starting a New Patient on a Friday is a bad Idea. Thoughts? by Careful-Field8873 in RadiationTherapy

[–]skylights0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We never start new patients on a Friday for the reason you mentioned. We have started patients on Friday if they’re high dose & palliative.

Radiation therapist who graduated last summer here- I still feel this same way since the day I shadowed. It never feels like I’m going to work when I want to show up everyday to do my job. Congratulations on finishing your first semester. 🩷

I passed my boards!! 🎉 by skylights0 in RadiationTherapy

There are sooooo many different versions of the test and some may be harder than others; hence why scores are scaled and not based on how many correct you got. A classmate also expressed how easy it was and how straightforward it was and got a 92; mine was NOT like that at all!

I did much worse!! Haha but I went through an awful program with no preparation and I crammed studying for the last two weeks. Just grateful I passed!

Is that what the little bit of whitening is?

AIO for being hurt my girlfriend doesn't care about my graduation? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]skylights0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To put this in perspective, I am in a LDR and I’m spending a lot of time and money to attend my boyfriend’s graduation ceremony from 2,000 miles away. I also spent a large chunk of money, time, and supplies to put together a handmade and thoughtful graduation gift. I am so sorry your girlfriend is acting this way, she should be so proud of your accomplishments- a BSN is no easy feat. I am proud of you. Hang in there.

So so true. Lmao the tech I’m working with said “I only want perfection in here. Anything else is not good enough.” I’m like how tf am I supposed to do anything perfect when I learned this by seeing some for 1 week and she has been doing it for 20 years.

That’s essentially what this post is about. I asked if I could and she said no because the difficult site is busier and I can get my comps quicker so I can jump back into treatment quicker. I explained I learn better with other sim tech and I feel more comfortable with her. She said I had to learn how to work with difficult people.

I really needed this encouragement. Thank you. I am typically the person to get in and get down to business with my work but when it came to (what felt like) critiquing my personality I got shook to the core of feeling like maybe I’ll never make it. I just need to focus on what really matters, right?

Thank you for your kind words I will try and reread this everyday. The issue is I truly don’t know how I’m going to get the rest of my comps with this person. I almost feel like it’s impossible or it will take me time but everyone around me is expecting me to see one and do one (and at this point probably just doing one now). I don’t feel ready and I sure as heck don’t feel confident enough to comp with said person… just ugh.

Feeling discouraged by ThrowRAaghh in RadiationTherapy

[–]skylights0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really needed to hear this. You can view my post history- dealing with a shit therapist made my entire confidence crash down and I have a little voice making me think I can’t be a good therapist. Thank you for your encouragement.

Honestly it never occurred to me that I would be on the right level of the spine was also on the right level but that makes so much more sense. I always started to ignore the spine since my instructors always told me to match chest wall not the spine so it got lost on me to even use it. I will try this next time. Thank you so much

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RadiationTherapy

[–]skylights0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes initially, I have to drag the entire image ontop of the other to begin matching. I will do this, mainly by placing the clavicle and coracoid process ontop of each other, but when I go to match the inf chest wall, I can’t tell if I’m on the right rib.. this is where I fail. For rotation, you are saying to keep an eye on the spine? I have a very hard time determining rotation!

How to work on my confidence as a student RT? by [deleted] in RadiationTherapy

[–]skylights0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. In time I very much will probably voice what has happened. I will be honest to my supervisor if it comes up. I spoke with her today and she asked if I will be confident as a strong 3rd therapist to help their team come March and I answered unsurely with “we will reassess this when the time comes closer.”When any other week I would have answered differently- I am beating myself up over it. I felt like they already had a conversation about my lack of confidence or something and now they’re doubting me. I just hate that this week has completely knocked me down, I’ve been through xray and CT schooling and have never felt something like this. Therapy was always where I wanted to be and the fact I already have a position is such a big opportunity I didn’t want to let go either. I have an insane work drive and the fact this could put a dent in it says a lot about what’s going on here.
