"One of the greater challenges in my career as a cardiovascular tech has been working with children that need to come in for a procedure. I do my best to put their minds at ease, but sometimes it can be challenging to help calm them without becoming emotionally involved. I have read a lot of articles on how physicians handle situations like these and I have become much more skilled in developing emotional boundaries."

"The biggest career challenge that I faced, as a cardiovascular technician, was getting accustomed to the physical requirements of the role as well as the scheduling needs. I love my job; however, in the first couple of years, it was very taxing on me physically. I decided to take up yoga so that I could better keep up with the physical demands of the job. Regular yoga practice has also helped me to sleep better, allowing me to handle shift changes like a champ!"
