How to boost resume for Rad Tech program?

By

I’m 33 with a background in publishing and real estate and want to go back to school for the Radiologic Technology program at my local community college. I’m taking prereqs right now since my classes from 2006 expired. By the time I finish prereqs, I’ll have missed the application deadline, so unfortunately if I get accepted, I won’t start until Fall 2023. In the meantime, is there anything I can do to boost my resume to make sure I get accepted? I’d hate to wait another year if I get rejected the first time. I was wondering if getting some healthcare experience as maybe a phlebotomist would make me more competitive? I got offered a very low paying, back breaking job as a phlebotomist with a really busy schedule but they do offer paid training, but everyone has warned me that it is a terrible job that will likely burn me out. Is the experience worth it just so I can add it to my resume? Or do you think my time is better spent shadowing a rad tech? I just worry that the school will see my resume has nothing to do with the medical field and will pass me over. Thanks for your advice!

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 šŸ˜Š also if you have tips on how to survive this ...

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/
