Frustrated With CT Students Rant

By

As a CT tech I’ve been frustrated with CT students the last few years. They mostly take classes online so when they come to clinicals it seems like we have to teach them everything about anatomy and pathology and scan protocols because they don’t have real teachers or clinical instructors. Then during clinical it’s like they don’t want to do anything except scan. I get that technically that’s what they are comping on but to learn to be a CT tech you also need to go get patients, go over history(allergy, creat, priors, reasons for exam/might need to adjust protocols) start IV’s, learn how to navigate charts for pertinent info, adjust contrast amounts and flows for differing reasons, and on and on and on. Then when we get new grad CT techs it’s like doing it all over again because they have no idea what they’re doing or why they’re doing it. We have to teach new CT techs how to actually be CT techs because all they cared to learn during training was how to start and stop the scanner. I’m just sick 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/

Radiology program

By
I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.
