Hi everybody. I am a Radiologic Technologist that works in the Cath Lab. My scheduled shift is during the day but I have to take call and as we all know, most emergencies happen at night. So, I can go multiple days with only getting 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night. I have absolutely no consistent schedule. This makes it nearly impossible to set out on a workout routine but I'm trying.
Personally, I'm the mom to 3 wonderful kids and I've been married for 14 years. In September, I will also be starting my Masters in Healthcare Administration.

Hi, My name is Beverly. I work for mid-size hospital in diagnostic imaging as a RT(R) Registered Radiologic Technolgist. I been doing xrays for almost 7 years and absolutely LOVE it!! I used to work 3p-11p in the ED but in about 3yrs ago I moved to a more stable and calmer environment at an outpatient imaging center. I really miss the "big house" with its excitement, variety and traumas but M-F is better suited for my family. I am glad to meet so many other healthcare professionals. We, as a group, have some very unique challenges. It is wonderful to hear all the different stories. As one the previous entries mentioned, in xray we get to see what fat looks like and how difficult it is to care for/image the obese patient. I DO NOT want to be one of my patients. Time to get my *kitten* in gear!!

Hello all,
I'm a LCSW in NY at a state inpatient psychiatric facility. I just started this new job in January after working in an outpatient MICA program for eight years as a therapist. It's been a challenge and I'm still not 100% sure I like this new job, so it takes its toll on me emotionally and physically by way of loss of motivation and poor eating habits. Glad to find some people with similar challenges to talk to!

Hello!

I was a licensed EMT-I for the State of New Mexico and now I am in college to be a doctor at the University of New Mexico. I have 2yrs until medical school but I am in the BA-MD program so I am guaranteed a spot! Anyway, right now I am looking at either neurology or psychiatry to be my specialty; however, I am currently shadowing an ER doctor and an orthopedic surgeon so we’ll see what happens.
