On call status as a perfusionist

- Let's talk about being on call. Being on call is one of the dreadful things about the job. Every perfusionist has to take on this responsibility. When you are on call, you are the one that gets called, along with the rest of the cardiac team, if there is a cardiac emergency.

October I finish my classes to become a certified perfusionist here in Brazil. Love this field of work!!
Awesome!!
Sounds like on call can get tricky. Is the team friendly?
Being on call can get a little rough. My team is great! We all work together nicely.
How demanding would you say your job is for your hospital? And is your hospital a level 1 or 2 trauma center?
At my hospital, my job isn't that demanding. When you are on call though, it can get more demanding. My hospital is a level 1 hospital.
@@perfusionlifestyle okay, nice. Thank you. I figured that a level 1 would be super demanding all the time, so that’s good to know.
Hello , My name is Mostafa , I have a bachelor's degree in nursing from my country and i work as registred nurse in Egypt , so is it allowed for me as a foreigner i mean i am not an American and i don't live in usa , is it allowed for me to stady clinical perfusion in usa and if yes what is the requirements for me as a foreigner?
Thank you.
I’m not sure how your nursing degree would transfer. You may have to do your schooling all over again in the US. I’m not 100% sure though.
The killer, 🫠 I hate call!!!
how does on call work when you are at home for example? i mean do you need to be at the hospital how many minutes after they call you? sorry, sounds ignorant from someone not aware of how hospital employee works..
Yep. You got it. When you are at home and get called on for an emergency, you have anywhere from 30mins- 1 hr (this time is hospital dependent) to get to the hospital.
Does anyone ever do more than a week of call per month? Or pick it up if someone chooses to use vacation time?
You can definitely do more then one week of call per month. It really all depends on how many perfusionist there are. I do more then one week some months and that’s all based on going around my coworkers vacation time as you mentioned.
@@perfusionlifestyle Oh ok! Thank you for responding. I’m currently shadowing several Perfusionists in Arizona and they relay a similar message.
So is this one week of on-call per month?
Yes. One week per month.
That number depends on how many perfusionist are on the team.
