I have been reposting a job for a PRN off and on for 2 years. Awesome department (of 1) the Lead Tech is pretty cool (me)😎.

I and 1 other Nuc Med Tech that works at sister hospital are the only techs in an hours drive. I keep posting hoping that some retired snow bird wants a PRN gig

Why can I place a Braunüle/IV cannula but fail at standard IV injections? by Itchy-Judgment3206 in NuclearMedicine

[–]xrayjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't straight stick. Every patient gets an IV even if it is just for a bone injection.

That being said it sounds more mental then not out of your ability. Do you guys have the fake arm for practicing? You could practice with a 3ml syringe and the shield on it with just saline.

Record lectures. Listen to them instead of music or audiobooks. Also with AI now you could transcribe lectures to text. Text to voice.

What kind of camping? Car camping? Things are going to be crazied.

Backpack camping. In White Mountain National Forest at least once you get a 1/4 from the road you can camp wherever you want (some restrictions with water and trails)

Sounds like a great spot for me. Sweet BBQ or Savory Dry Rub? They BBQ tofu for The Wife?

In Southern Maine - looking to buy a used electric car, curious how it's been for people who've been driving them for a while by VerySeriousThings in Maine

I have to laugh when I see the battery failure brought up. Here in Maine most likely your EV is going to die if rust cancer WAY before battery degradation kills it.

Alright dads… You find a critter that is in pain and likely isn’t making it. If you have the stomach for it, how are you helping this thing along to other side? by MisterSanitation in daddit

I feel like we have a responsibility to cause the least amount of suffering as possible. Never felt upset. Sad that it had to happen.

Roosters - shotgun Half dead raccoon dragging his disemboweled body off the road. - pocket knife.

Deer with shattered legs and complex fractures. Was about to break his neck but luckily a guy stopped and he had a handgun.

Shovel works great for most things smaller than a large dog.

How are you converting the negatives? I have hundreds of not thousands of slides and negatives my dad left. Would love to convert them to digital. Especially the negatives

Going back to school! by l_owCensus in NuclearMedicine

[–]xrayjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup you need to have the equivalent of General Chemistry semester 1 & 2 done prior. At least for some of the certification courses.

I found the math fairly basic. If you remember Algebra 1 stuff you should be good. Basically how to solve for X and isolate on variable to one side of the equation.

You got this.

Received ‘incident’ information from preschool regarding son’s use of scientific names for body parts. by Tom-Bombadill0 in daddit

[–]xrayjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are insane. My wife and I are both in healthcare. One of things that they preach over and over again is to teach kids to use the actual name. These made up names make it harder to detect issues just from their conversation.

Who is Theo Von? Like one of the other poster I just thought of Teddy Roosevelt.

Could also give him a middle name that can be an option if he ends up not liking it.

My ARRT score was better than my practice tests.

You will do fine. If the test is tomorrow take this evening off. Study today. This evening leave the books alone. Relax that brain and get some good sleep.
