I x-rayed the wrong patient and got fired, how should I talk about it in upcoming interviews?

By

Yeah I’m an idiot. Had a crazy rush in our ED and I slipped up and switched 2 patients in adjacent rooms and didn’t catch it before a rad already made a report, so I got sacked. It was really busy but it’s my screw up; reading a wristband takes 2 seconds. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach the topic in interviews? I would like to not bring it up but I don’t see how it can be avoided if they ask me why I left my previous job. Besides that screw up I think I’m really good at my job otherwise, and am fast at picking up new modalities. I think I can count on a few good references too. I’m hoping if I have to mention it that maybe they’ll believe me that it’s a rare mistake and not a liability. But I was wondering if anyone here has been in a similar spot.

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.

Onetonline salary search change?

By
Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.
