In general what are my odds of getting into an associates or bachelors rad tech program?

By

First and foremost I know it mostly depends on the school I apply to, but I would like to get a general idea of how possible getting into a Fall 2021 associates or bachelors program would be for me.

I decided to get into radiology because helping others is very fulfilling to me, I want to specialize and gain expertise in in a patient care field, and I feel like my previous experience with cartography and imagery analysis could translate to radiology.

I’m a second degree seeking student, having originally obtained a Bachelors of Science in Geographic Information Systems 6 years ago.

Most of my professional time has actually been spent in healthcare IT, where I was an EMR trainer and analyst. I’d also provide on the floor elbow support for EMR issues.

I don’t have any direct patient care experience yet. However I do have my BLS and an EKG certification, so I’m sure I can find some sort of part time patient care related job.

I would say I’m a B-average student.

I have around 24 hours of shadowing so far.

I have a good amount of providers than granted me permission to use them as references.

I’m not sure what else to include at the moment and am currently working on my application essay.

Any sort of advice, critique, or any sort of input would help quell my anxiety about getting in!

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 ...
