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/

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.
