Do you think your paid your worth in radiology compared to nursing?

By

I'm a lab scientist and I'm in a group on fb that is constantly discussing our wages especially in comparison to nurses. We average about 28 an hour and do 70% of the diagnostic work for HC. My first love in HC was radiology but then after shadowing for weeks I realized how many people I would have to touch/hold/mansplain/coax into staying put for 7 seconds all for them to not do it....and the bedpans. I was just wondering since rad is more hand on, always up and doing portables, positioning patients etc etc... do you feel the same? Do you think that you should also get the 20k sign on bonus that nurses get and make 45 an hour? Also, do you feel that your field is dying from the boomers retiring and not enough ppl coming into the field (cause that's our main issue in lab, minus the pay and being treated really crappy by nurses). I'm just trying to see if it's really just lab vs nurse or if it's the entire hc system broken and favoring nurses because they are "the face" of it?

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 ...
