Anyone from canada who has failed their 4th attempt on CAMRT exam? And how you move forward?

By

I'm an IEMRT and on the process of trying to pass my CAMRT exam. To those IEMRT we all know how hard their exam is and how expensive the exam costs are. Im on my 3rd try and It's frustrating to be in this position while trying to live, strive a career and be able to pass this exam in Canada. It's an exam harder than any type of exam I've ever had. I just wanna vent a little and unleash my frustration. I feel like they don't wanna give some people like me who came to canada a chance to be able to work here in canada as an immigrant. I understand that dedication, determination and studying harder is the key. I did my best but it's not enough to be able to pass the exam. In my opinion being able to pass the exam this hard doesn't make you the best xray tech. Being able to apply your learnings, trainings and being able to work in a hospital or in any areas of your field is the most important thing. I'm already planning if I failed this 4th attempt I had to switch career and find another career to be able to survive in canada. Thinking about it makes me depressed, sad. I don't wanna give up but this exam gives me frustration, dishearten my goals to be an X-ray tech and it affects my mental health. That I feel stupid and dumb for failing again. I feel like I fail at life. I feel like I'm not those people who pass are smart and be able to surpass this situation. I wish I can just switch countries but I've already lived 3 yrs of my life here and still striving.

As an IEMRT, I don't feel like we get the support we need from CAMRT. Yes they have given us the books that we need to study but it's not enough in terms of being able to adapt on their exam questions. (Angoff) To those who has took the exam knows the struggle. It's not the type of exam that you usually ask straightforward questions. It is very situational with tricky answers. As a person who never studied in Canadian way, it's hard. I never said that I shouldn't be in this field if I'm not willing to learn in Canadian way. Of course I am but we don't get that support (learnings). I think the only way to be able to learn these things is to be able to work and be trained in your work field in canada but you'll never learn it until you pass and from there you'll be able to work in hospitals/clinics.

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 ...
