Rad Techs - Do You Enjoy Your Job

By

What made you choose this career? How long have you been working as a rad tech? Do you do x-ray or do you specialize in other modalities? If you could go back in time would you choose this career again? Do you see a lot of trauma? Are you helping with a lot of surgeries (c-arm)? Do you feel it's a stressful job or is it a good work/life balance? Any thing else you want to say to someone considering this as a career.

(I'm also considering medical assistant. The rad techs I'm shadowing have all encouraged me to pursue the career and not do medical assisting because the pay is not great with medical assisting and other factors. Im concerned with rad tech that I haven't seen enough surgery or trauma during my shadowing hours and what if I end up not being able to handle that stuff or the gross factor of lots of stuff. I've mainly seen outpatient elderly patients lots of hips and knees and spines. I've seen one code blue where the pt didn't make it and one lacerated finger, thats it in terms of ER stuff.) Thanks for your responses!!

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 ...

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/
