My Hospital has an xray tech who is uncertified in Nuclear Medicine inject the patients with radioactive materials. She did not go to school for this nor is she registered. How can both powerful agencies overlook this. I am the registered Nuclear Medicine tech that just lost my job to her. They are trying to cut back. The public doesnt know that they have someone working on them who didnt even go to school for this. Thats a crime. Better yet, why did I go to school, study and pass boards. If anybody has any suggestions or comments, please e-mail me, Thanks! Wait til you hear this….Both jaco and the NRC were at my hospital just recently.

You take some crap, smear it on the card with your finger, drop some developer on it and see if it turns blue. My first grader could do it. It is all about having the power to nit pick.

I have been told by several people that one has to demonstrate competency in the determination of a positive and negative result. At some hospitals the cards are sent down to the lab to have a "qualifed person" interpret them.<br/>b I suspect the developer was removed for a different reason.

It seems that whenever there is an inspection, all the people who normally are taking care of patients are running around trying to fill out new forms that the Joint Commission has decided to institute. It is hard enough finding the nurse anyway as he or she has so much paperwork to do without JACO making more.
