I've been working at the clinic I'm at now for over 9 months and still don't have a badge. :/ I was told by the office manager in our most recent staff meeting that they wait until you've been there 6 months to order you one, and that she's going to get on that, so we'll see. One of the other techs who's been working here about a year and a half doesn't have one yet either, but she's also been trained as a receptionist and has been doing that primarily since shortly after I started. I wasn't familiar with the badges until I started working here, and I don't assist with X-rays very often (maybe 10 films a week maximum), but maybe I should be more annoyed/worried about it than I am?
I also haven't been given a key to the clinic, which annoys me slightly just because I was given a key to the last clinic I worked at after I'd been shadowing there for only a couple weeks, because they wanted to hire me on to do treatments some weekends. But I get that that's an unusual display of trust.
Here we do treatments with two of us there at a time, which I much prefer.
