Rad Tech in CA no longer recognized by ARRT

Hello, I hope my fellow techs are well through all this craziness, first time posting but need help if anyone is in the know on this...

I was a limited scope tech/MA for a good while working to get the experience to let me into a bridge program, I went to PMI for that and am now a rad tech.

At the beginning of this year, I had to do my CE credits for the first time since going from limited scope to rad tech, I completed my CE and sent the credits in to the CA rad org. The state recognizes me as certified, but I called ARRT and realized sometime after I had tested out to get my rad tech license (which was also when I had moved to a new apartment and never received a notice to update) but I never updated registration with them after.

I called ARRT and they said I would have to take the state board test again to be recognized by the ARRT because it had been some amount of time since I paid and updated my CE with them even though I’ve never missed credits with my state.

Is there anything I can do to get rectified? Or do I really need to take the state board again?

Thanks techs!

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

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!

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 ...
