We are trying to justify a need for more techs in our vascular lab" We TRY to schedule an hour per study at our facility. We do all our in-patients portably, so that adds to our exam time. Our techs work 8 and 1/2 hours per day, so we schedule 7 to 8 patients for each tech. This usually allows us to get lunch and complete all the necessary paperwork before it is time to clock out. I say usually, because as you all know STAT venous studies will most commonly occur just when you think you will be gettin out on time! All our techs are cross trained to do both echo and vascular studies, and have a mix of study types throughout the day. We currently have a full-time job opening at our facility if anyone is interested in working in the Richmond area. As noted above, candidates will be expected to perform both cardiac and vascular ultrasounds. We will be willing to crosstrain a motivated, appropriate candidate in one of the ultrasound specialties as long as he/she is seasoned in the other specialty. The job is Monday through Friday. Call is one weeknight per week, and one weekend per month. Interested parties can contact me at the number below. Carol Miranda Healthsouth Medical Center Richmond, VA 804-747-5664
