HOW TO BE AN EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT WITHOUT REALLY TRYINGHOLDORFSonography Life Hacks:DON’T SAY WE NEVER TOLD ‘YA!!
[2]
Our Senior (2nd year) students were asked to adopt a Junior (1st year) student and give them 10 GIFTS. The GIFTS were advice on how to survive their clinical assignments. The Junior students wrote down each GIFT or LIFE HACK and shared them with us, the faculty. These are those life hacks…
[3]
Make a good first impression: Act professional and treat each site as a job interview Don’t complain about other sites…word travels fast Never say NO to scanning Do the dirty work (cleaning, re-stocking) Always have gloves on and be ready to scan Make “friends” with everyone you meet in the hospital (x-ray, Transporters, Doctors, Supervisors, etc…)
[4]
[5]
Do the dirty work, and eventually they will let you scan Be respectful of other students or other techs Know your spatial anatomy Don’t correct the sonographer (especially in front of the patient) Learn the Protocols for each individual site Practice, practice, practice
[6]
Be eager, but not too pushy Know your anatomy!! Scan each other when there is down-time (if allowed) Don’t correct the tech…(Unless it’s obvious that they mislabeled something or forgot something) Treat your clinical site as thought it is your job Be enthusiastic Ask questions, but be careful how you word them, and when you ask them
[7]
Use common sense: no drama Show up on time Don’t take anything personal Accept constructive criticism Focus on what you need to do Know your anatomy Do what they ask of you Stay out of personal drama Don’t turn down the opportunity to scan Look up videos online Do ask questions
[8]
[9]
Stay on top of assignments Stay organized Support one another Ask questions, even of the radiologist Stay busy at the clinical sites Always ask to scan Be pleasant…smile Help with other things at the clinical sites Be active and positive Never say “I’m not sure that I want to be a sonographer”.
[10]
Respect your techs, mentors at the clinical sites Always be willing to scan. Get your hands on the probe as much as possible. Practice, Practice!! Ask questions if unsure of what you are looking at. (Not in front of patient) No question is “stupid”. Remember, you are a student. You are always learning. Absorb it all.
[11]
“Play” with machines during downtime. Always good to know how different machines work. Respect your Tech’s area. Don’t ever clutter with unnecessary items Help with set-ups and clean-ups. Stock linen, gel bottles, clean probes, and also help with patients. Pick you tech’s brain. Ask to see any unusual or interesting studies they may have scanned or seen.
[12]
[13]
Learn how to do paperwork and what a radiologist may be looking for. Every rad is different…good to know different ways. BREATH!! It will get easier once you get out in the field. Do not fall asleep at your clinical site Do not ask the tech questions in the middle of an exam Do not argue with the technologist Never turn down scan time at clinical
[14]
Stock all linens and gel bottles at the beginning of your shift Wipe down the machine and transducer at the beginning of your shift Stay out of all drama Don’t tell the tech you don’t know how to do something Show up on time Always address yourself as a student to the patient
[15]
Be respectful of others no matter your seniority or amount of education you have Show enthusiasm and be positive. Report with a smile no matter what problems you are having. Keeping a positive attitude can boost everyone’s morale. Go to each rotation with an open mind. “A good attitude is half the battle.” Always remember that each clinical site is a place of business and not a social club.
[16]
[17]
Be polite and friendly. Understand your position, that you are a student while the sonographer is an employee. Always follow protocols and instructions of the sonographer. Don’t be offended by constructive criticism. You are here to learn and gain experience.
[18]
Learn from others’ mistakes. If you know someone is doing a procedure incorrectly, don’t say anything, just make mental notes to do it the right way. You learn best by doing but there is a lot to be learned by watching others. Watch and learn. Do not try to pick and choose the facility you think is best for clinical rotation. Each facility has different ways of doing things and there is much to be learned at each location. Be patient, you will make the rounds to all of the facilities.
[19]
Always show up early…if you’re on time, you’re late. Don’t get involved with the drama between the techs. Don’t throw other students under the bus to the techs. Always fill bottles, replace linens etc. even without being asked. Ask the techs questions if you don’t know something
[20]
[21]
Be honest with the techs. Don’t act like you know something if you don’t (find the answer if you can). Be willing to jump at any opportunity, even if you’ve never done it before. Be prepared for clinical. Know the site before you go if you can. Be on your best behavior, because your clinical rotations are essentially a job interview. It’s a small DMS community and word travels fast.
[22]
Make a good first impression. Act professional and treat each site as a job interview Don’t complain about other sites. Word travels fast Never say no to scanning Do the dirty work: Cleaning, restocking
[23]
Make a good first impression, always ask important questions. NEVER say no to scanning. Do not speak poorly of other techs/clinical sites. Be eager to scan, but not too pushy. Share scanning time equally with other US program students Know your anatomy
[24]
[25]
Be willing to help clean up as much as you can (stock and refill gel bottles) Bring study material for down time, if allowed Ask questions about cases, ask tech to review case if they have time You will have bad scanning days and you will have good scanning days. Don’t beat yourself up.
[26]
Personality is the biggest key Let your personality shine through to prevent patient anxiety and help people remember you for future employment opportunities. Less is more. Be courteous but stay a STUDENT (don’t rub people the wrong way). Be there always Be available. Dress professional (wear a lab coat)
[27]
Keep a pair of gloves in your pocket to be ready to go. Keep a pen in your pocket Keep a small paper instead of a large log book Write exam records right away so you don’t forget what you’ve done (especially when it gets busy) NEVER leave in the middle of an exam (rude to patient and sonographer) Be as flexible as possible
[28]
[29]
Take initiative to prepare the room for the next patient NEVER pull cell phone out in front of patient Bring lunch Just in case a walk-in comes through, you don’t want to miss it. Include snacks to get you through the whole day Don’t let any rude people (sonographers, patients, hospital employees) get under your skin. Be kind to one another
[30]
During down time, familiarize yourself with the machine so that you fumble less with the buttons with a patient/practice exam. Talk to patients so that they can talk to you and be relaxed during exam Explain at beginning that you may have to push down or have them hold their breath. Learn some Spanish key phrases Hold your breath Breath Bathroom Etc.
[31]
Never be afraid to ask questions; you are there to learn Scan as much as you can, and always be ready to scan Review Protocols, study if allowed, do maintenance in rooms on down times. Do not be late! Always go to hospital before so you know where to go. Don’t get friendly with techs
[32]
Accept criticism with grace. Unless it is an emergency take a lunch break Do not be on phone Be positive Why am I doing this? Because I like to help others. I love the different images, they are art, they are always changing and it is my job to create the best image possible.
[33]
Holdorf says… Shut up. Don’t talk so much that you upset the patients. Cell phone in your hip pocket? I think not. Stash your belongings safely away.
