I don’t know where that prior person works but I have been doing this job for close to 30yrs and YOU DO NOT GET YOU PICK YOUR HOURS. When you get out of school you get the hours that are available most of the time it is evening and nights not prime time. And ALWAYS call and holidays are involved. This is a MUST when working in a hospital setting. I am a supervisor and when new people come in because they are being told they get to choose they are put off about the profession. It is very rare to get to pick your hours or to get prime times. Ask any more questions. I’ll answer anything about Ultrasound. Karen RDMS/RVT

Hi Macy,
Usually you get to pick your schedule or work hrs.
There are 8, 10, and 12 hrs shifts.
You can choose to work a full week, certain days during the week or the weekend. I personally like the weekend because of baylor pay. That means I work 24 hrs during the weekend (12 hrs Sat and 12 hrs Sun), and I get paid for 36 hrs.
Hope that helps!

***Forgot to mention:
There's also graveyard shift (night shift) of 10 or 12 hrs.
It all depends on where you work hospital/clinic and the flexibility of your supervisor. My hospital doesn't do on calls or weekend rotation.
