Any nurses in here?

Question

Who run like hell from the XRay machine?  I try to get as far away from it as possible, but in my head, it's never far enough.

I don't know if it's the hormones or what, but I'm just going crazy. Need some encouragement, please :(

Answer

I work in ICU so we don't have doors on our rooms, just glass partition things. I'm constantly freaking out because I'll
Inadvertently walk by a room as they are shooting. So frustrating!!!

Answer

My husband does x-Ray... He says 6 feet away from rays is sufficient. It's designed to not let anything travel from where it's aimed. :)

Answer

I let all the rad techs know- either tell them your TTC or if you want tell them how far along you are. They have been really good about getting my attention and letting me leave the room. But it still worries me. I no longer go in with pt for CT scans. (Usually only if it was a child I was working on to keep calm) 
Good luck and congrats.

Answer

I worked in oncology and it was a little nerve wracking at times.
