This is a great question! I’ve always gone back and forth with this myself because I started outpatient whereas others started at the hospital. As a new grad, start at any place you are offered a position whether that be in an outpatient or hospital setting because any experience is great experience in the beginning. However, after having worked at the hospital, I feel that you will learn more pathology vs. outpatient because you will be scanning patients who are there for higher level of care. If you ever get the chance to do both, you’ll get to experience both sides and overall become a solid tech.

Do per-diem get any medical benefits/PTO?

@catchingflightswithjay

3 жыл бұрын

Hello! Unfortunately most per diem techs (in any place of work) will not be offered medical benefits which is why I think hourly wages are higher for them so that they can pay for their own. Per diems also do not accrue PTO as they technically can create their own schedules or are called in to work “as needed.”

@lolgeselle

3 жыл бұрын

Espi, she’s right! I, as a per diem tech do not get medical benefits or PTO. But she, as a full tome tech, does! The only benefit I get is the option to have a 401k and even then not all per diem places offer that! So it all depends on the place of work 😌

I also live in Vegas and I’m applying for the ultrasound program next year. I’m thinking of doing outpatient, but out of curiosity which hospital is hard to get into (that you were talking about in the video)? I’m doing shadowing at the Centennial hills hospital soon!

You only need a bachelors if you want to move up into the field as a supervisor, director, or professor/ teacher. If you plan on only scanning an associates is just fine 🙂

How does per diem work? Do you work once a week? Do they pay double on per diem?

@lolgeselle

3 жыл бұрын

As a per diem, you get more opportunity with your schedule. You tell them when you are available. You are not obligated to work. You are "as needed" and fill in for full-timers when they are PTO or when they call out, as well as if it's busy and they need extra help you can come in. They usually pay much higher as a per diem because there most likely will not be benefits attached to the contract.

@lolgeselle

3 жыл бұрын

As far as "once a week" that's the beauty of per diem. If a place allows you to work once or twice a week, you can. It depends on the contract of where you work, for instance I work at an outpatient facility which requires 2 days a week. Then I schedule the hospital around that.
