Your experience working during COVID

By

Hello! I hope this is appropriate for the subreddit. Also, sorry if formatting is weird! I don't post very often and I'm on a mobile.

Backstory here, questions are below if you wanna skip!

I started down the path of switching careers last year. I took Healthcare related pre-reqs (I am considering Dental Hygiene as well as Radiology) at a community college in Fall of 2019. I even applied to programs in early 2020. Due to weird admission environment (thanks COVID), I didn't get into any of the programs I applied for despite having a pretty good TEAs score and As and Bs in pre-reqs. I have spent the last few months studying to retake the TEAs, improving grades in pre-reqs, and taking co-reqs for some local programs. I also have had time to sit and think a little TOO much about working in healthcare due to the pandemic. I would love to hear any input on how people in the field feel about COVID safety. My husband is relatively high risk, so I want to avoid bringing it home.

I have a few specific questions:

  • Do you feel relatively safe at work?
  • What steps are you and/or your employers taking to keep you safe?
  • Have you or any of your coworkers contracted COVID while on the job?

Also general questions for someone considering a career in radiology:

  • What are some things you wish someone told you when you started school?
  • I have a feeling once I become an RT, I will want to specialize. Is it possible to specialize while on the job as a Rad Tech? Some specialties that interest me are Radioation Therapy and MRI. I'm pretty hands on and love a dynamic work environment. Are you a rad tech specialist, and if so, what do you love about your specialty?
  • Were you able to work part time/full time while in school?

Thanks in advance for your time!

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/

Radiology program

By
I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.
