Hi everyone, There is a possibility that I may be relocating to the St. Louis area this summer. I was hoping to get some information (pay, hospital culture, on-call info, etc) for some facilities in the area (Barnes, Mercy, SSM, etc). I work in procedural areas, like Cath lab, GI, or IR, but would appreciate info from any specialty or area. Thanks in advance! -C

I would highly recommend the review course. I believe they may offer it online now. I took the review course, then took the exam in October of 2016. I do not deal with everything the exam covers, so I made sure to focus on the things that I do not work with. I went to those areas and observed, and asked questions. I also took the week off before my exam and went to the library every morning, and would stay all day. I did read and study for about a year leading up to the test, but for a cram session towards the end it was helpful to get away from distractions. There are a few different versions of the test...mine had several nuc med questions. But I passed!
