Description
Will position float between units: Yes
Is on-call required? Yes Rotating weekday and weekend call. Usually works out to 2-4 weekdays per month and 1 weekend every six weeks.
Are weekends required? Yes Rotation in weekend call. About 1 weekend every 6 weeks. Occasional need to cover weekend day shifts when other staff are on PTO.
What are expected ratios? 1:1
Special requirements: on-call coverage is included in this position. EEG techs are assigned 3 to 4 call shifts a month, which includes both weekdays and weekends, which depends on how the tech is scheduled for the month. EEG techs are not scheduled for more than 1 call shift within a 4 to 5 day interval, but can be longer, depending on scheduling. For instance, an EEG tech scheduled for an On-call shift on Monday, could not be scheduled for an On-call shift again until Friday. EEG techs are not required to work their normal shift after being on-call; thus, they are able to call out post call without using PTO, if they choose. The On-Call shift starts at 4pm and ends at 7am. At 9pm, the pagers are turned off and only the neurologist can call in the EEG tech. EEG techs are paid for a minimum of 3 hours while being on call, even if they are not called in. They are paid a call-back incentive if they do get called in. I would estimate EEG techs get called in an average of 50% of their required on-call assignments a month.

Pros
Aaky J was very responsive, respectful and considerate, he responds quickly and he returns texts asap, I’ve even gotten random texts just asking how I was doing. I’ve never worked with Lancesoft before but Aaky has made it comfortable.
Cons
Maybe the only thing which truly isn’t a problem is the dialect, but we got through that as well.
