At Medely<\/a>, we\u2019re proud to play such an instrumental role in empowering nurses and allied health professionals to find shifts and assignments that work for them. Thanks to the freedom and flexibility Medely offers, thousands of health professionals on our platform are able to earn on their schedule so they can spend more time pursuing their passions, working toward their goals, spending more time with loved ones, and, overall, helping to make the world a better place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ashlyn Fajerson, radiology technologist, is one of the many allied health professionals who have taken control of their lives using Medely. We sat down with her to talk about her experience using Medely, her inspiration for becoming a healthcare professional, and what goals Medely is helping her reach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Ashlyn became a radiology technologist <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ashlyn\u2019s inspiration for becoming a radiology tech happened after a personal encounter with another radiology tech. \u201cMy dad had a stroke when I was 18,\u201d Ashlyn shares. While her dad was in the hospital, the radiology tech on staff helped get the imaging that was responsible for saving her dad\u2019s life. \u201cRadiology stuck out to me then,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ashlyn was always passionate about helping people, and after being inspired by her encounter with the radiology tech who saved her dad\u2019s life, she knew she had found the right career path. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever she picks up a shift, she continues to receive confirmation that she\u2019s in the right place as a healthcare professional. \u201cWith Medely, I travel to different hospitals on the regular. I\u2019ll pick up steady contracts every now and again, but I jump into surgery cases, and jumping in the OR, you gotta know your stuff,\u201d Ashlyn says. \u201cIt’s really refreshing that, I want to say, 90% of the places I’ve been, people add me to their favorites, and they want me to come back. It’s a kind of a constant refresher that, okay, I’m supposed to be doing this. I’m here for the right reasons. And it’s rewarding on both ends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Ashlyn uses Medely as a radiology tech<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ashlyn left her career as a radiology tech and pivoted to a work-from-home job in finance. But, after working from home for a while, she was ready to get back into the team environment that working in a hospital provided her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was in a place where I got out of the hospitals because of COVID. But I had gotten into finance, and I was actually working from home. And, I realized that I just kind of missed the team aspect and, honestly, helping people. I was just Googling part-time radiology, and Medely came up. So, I went ahead and applied, went through all the stuff, and I actually just kind of fell into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After her experience working from home, she wanted to find a way to keep a flexible schedule, so picking up shifts with Medely was an easy transition and helped her create the schedule she wanted. \u201cI really enjoy how I can control my own schedule and create my own schedule because I was used to doing that,\u201d Ashlyn says. \u201cWorking through Medely, I get to do the same thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the ability to create a schedule that works for her, Ashlyn appreciates the simplicity that Medely offers. It\u2019s easy to pick up shifts, and she has plenty of shifts to choose from on the platform. \u201cThe platform is very easy to use. It’s pretty cut and dry,\u201d Ashlyn shares. \u201cThere’s anything from overnight shifts to morning surgery shifts. I really enjoy the flexibility of shifts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medely helps radiology techs accomplish more <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for help reaching your financial and professional goals, Medely can help. Ashlyn shares that through Medely, she\u2019s been able to create a life that\u2019s more flexible and enjoyable for her. \u201cI’d say that Medely has helped me with a lot of goals. I am actually able to make a little better money than I was when I was working a 9 to 5,\u201d shares Ashlyn. \u201cI’m able to pay a lot more stuff off. I\u2019m actually able to do a lot more things and have a lot more freedom with my time and what my money allows me to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By using Medely, Ashlyn has been able to spend more time doing what she loves, like riding motorcycles and seeing live music. With her spare time and extra cash from picking up shifts with Medely, she and her husband are even working on starting their own business.  \u201cI am thankful I found you guys. I really enjoy getting to do what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
