Career possibilities?

By

I've been a rad tech for just about 5 years now. Six months ago I transferred within my health system from a small hospital that I enjoyed to a clinic for a supervisor position. I wasn't too fond of my new job before all of this caronavirus stuff (basically I'm not a huge fan of the site and don't feel as though I fit in with the staff) but now I've come to really dislike my job. Part of it is the added stress that was expected, and I'm not saying I can't handle my new position. I just don't enjoy it like I thought I would. Plus my department is at an uneasy time right now because a new radiology group is supposed to take over which could mean a new employer. As many techs know it's hard to land a full-time position as just an x-ray tech because of lack of positions and many places requiring multimodalities (I'vee never been interested in other modalities and like working in just x-ray). I'm starting to think that maybe some sort of career change would be better if no other tech positions pop up. I'm a B.S.RT(R) and was hoping for some suggestions on what else I could do with that? I live in SE Wisconsin but might be open to moving. I've considered working for Epic but I've heard very mixed reviews of what it's like to be an employee.

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
