Should I stop going to work full time to pursue the radiology program full time?

By

Should I stop working full time to go to school full time? I’ve been accepted into a local community college who has been advocating for me to join there radiology program. They told to retake my English course and take an additional course “Medical Terminology” to boost up my GPA to be considered for their program but by the way how it sounds it sounds like I have a firm chance at getting in. I’ve been in contact with the program director to the point we know each other’s voices. I want to make a transition because I am making about $17 an hour now and once I’m done with the program I have some Friends who can get me situated with making $35 an hour straight out of school. What do you guys think I should do? Should I bail on my job on good terms to study and focus full time on this? My mom isn’t alive but left me a good chunk of money to sustain myself. I don’t pay rent because I used my 90% of my inheritance to buy a condo all cash and that’s about it I’m sitting on 50k cash. No debt or anything my expenses are 650 a month living solo literally. Since I graduated with a associates degree the program will literally take me 1 1/2 years. I’m 23 now I take summer courses get acclimated by fall 2022 and graduate by 2024 Spring since I have absolutely no distractions I want to capitalize full speed for my age

Thanks

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 ...
