Finished 1st year as rad tech and not sure I am suited for this

Hello, I am studying radiologic technology to become rad tech. It's bachelors degree (in my country, you have to have bcs). So I finished first year. I've also done around 400 hours in hospital as student. I worked at a classic x-ray, CT, MRI, mamography, densitometry and even at surgery. But I can't help and find it.... Really boring. There are days, when it goes by really fast and that's fun, but often, it goes by really slowly, sometimes not even 1 patient in houlf an hour. I always count the minutes when i can leave. It's just sitting around and I read book or surf the internet. Is it worth finishing this major, or should I switch to something else? Does it get better? After all those lessons spent at school and at hospital, I honestly feel burn out and the thought that i would have to do this job for another 40 years scares me. But at the same time i am scared of quitting, because what if the other option doesn't work out and i am left with nothing. Does anyone have any positive outlook to share?

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/

Radiology program

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.
