Our unit shared with Diagnostic Imaging and Electrodiagnostics. Also, the services we provide.
The conference room, where staff members enjoy each other's company during their breaks. Inside the conference room are the stress labs. This is where cardiac stress tests are done to see how a person's heart functions during physical activity.
The echocardiogram room where echos are performed. An echo is like an ultrasound of the heart. I observed one and it changed my entire perspective on the heart.

​
The stretcher waiting area where things like towels, bedsheets, gowns, etc are located.
Areas of various rooms that I'm supposed to keep fully stocked as all this stuff usually gets used up in a day.
The Holter Lab; the area where I spend the most time as I clean Holters and make reminder calls here.
A before and after of cleaning several monitors
The drying area and how I clean a Holter monitor
The supply room or JIT room. This is where I collect items we are running low on. (I once spent 25 minutes looking for tape)
