    I do echo and graduated in May. There are definitely days where every patient is hard lol. But there’s of plenty of situations I’ve been in where I realize how much better I’ve gotten as a scanner. I wouldn’t have been able to get that image when I was a student etc.

      Hey Alex!! Congrats on recently graduating. That’s AWESOME! If you ever wanna come on the podcast sometime to share your story, let us know!
      But I hear you. Soooo many situations where you’re like “dang!! I did that!” And it will keep on getting better and better. Keep doing amazing things!!!! Thanks for stopping by 🥰

    This is the 2nd time I’ve watched this video. After getting hired at my externship site, only to find out it isn’t exactly the most welcoming place to work as a new employee, I really needed to hear all of this. I keep reminding myself that I just graduated 4 months ago and not to be so hard on myself. But when I’m expected to do as well as a veteran sonographer at my place of work really makes me second guess myself. I was given no proper training or orientation and got yelled at for things like asking questions. I ask questions to better myself and it makes me feel so uneasy knowing that I can’t even do that in my place of work where I’m supposed to be continuing to learn and do better.
    I did very well in school and passed my SPI the first time. Now that my ARDMS for OB/GYN is just around the corner, it’s even more nerve wracking when I myself am starting to question everything I know due to the environment in my workplace. This video was really great for motivation and reminding myself that I’m not doing anything wrong. Thank you for this 🙏🏼

    • @lolgeselle
      @lolgeselle  Před rokem

      You are most definitely not doing anything wrong! I am so proud of you for all that you've learned and done so far. Be proud of yourself. Think of all the things you now know that you didn't know. You will continue to teach yourself things and hopefully keep on learning from others. I still learn everyday. You got this!!!

    I think one of the most valuable insights from the video is to get the registries done immediately after graduating, which is what I'm working on. I've heard that it can be incredibly difficult to work and study at the same time and some jobs do require it as close as 90 days from hiring.

    New grad, i need to become faster. Any tips for that? I hyperfocus sometimes and loose track of time. Or i second guess myself on an image i should keep but then take again because im afraid the boss/Rad won't like it.

    • @lolgeselle
      @lolgeselle  Před 11 měsíci +2

      My tip for you is to assess the organ and area around it prior to taking photos. Take those moments to see if there's anything abnormal or sticking out to you. If it looks normal and fine, take your photos. You know what you're looking at when it's normal. Only when you're questioning yourself, slow down and take the time to assess.. in sag and trans. Then measure. You can always go back to take more images. But if it's normal when you first put the probe down, take the images and move on. Speed will come with time, so don't stress about that. The most important thing is that you're getting everything that you need!
