Need some input/pep talk Rad Techs

By

Hey everyone! I am a first year rad-tech student, and I am looking for help, advice, and/or a pep talk. So, this is my first semester in clinical, up until this past week I was doing pretty well. I was enjoying clinic, learning new things, comping on several exams. That came to a halt this past week when I went to an ortho clinic. I had been looking forward to it, as I had heard nothing but good things about this site. Well, I get there and everything is soooo different to the hospital setting. I was expecting this but not to this extent. They have the big fancy x-ray systems that moves the bucky and tube with a push of a button. I kinda got use to that (even though I can tell I like the normal DR system with a wall and table Bucky waaaayyyy more than this fancy contraption here), but their positioning standards have rocked my world. Going in, I was very confident in what I have comped on so far and was ready to knock out some more while I was there. I have lost confidence and have been afraid to attempt a comp on anything. I am hoping that someone here has some words of wisdom that can help get me back on track. I appreciate it! (Pardon any typos, I typed this in a hurry.)

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/

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 ...
