The bane of my existence

By

So, I am in my last week of pre-req classes so I can apply for the rad tech program at my school.

So far so good! Got a 4.0 in some classes but the bane of my absolute existence at the moment is college algebra. A&P lecture and lab are difficult but so awesome to learn and so far I'm doing pretty well with a 101% and 95% respectively. I haven't done any math, prior to March of this year, since high school in 2011. I crammed for the entrance exam and somehow passed but had to take intermediate because I was ONE POINT off from the cut. Got a 4.0, but now that I'm in college algebra, it's really rough on me. I'm honestly a bit worried for my chapter exam and my final exam that is only 2 days later.

My question is, what is the kind of math I can expect in the course, granted I get in? Is it similar to algebra or is it something completely different? Physics was never my strong suit, but I passed. I half blame it on the teacher in high school, because when the students weren't making her cry, she was yelling at them to calm down, so not too much learning was actually going on.

I'm sorry for the long post, but now I am having some doubts as to actually sticking with the program, again, granted I actually get in. Following rad school I wanted to get into MRI, and possibly radiation therapy. But I know for sure that will be a LOT of physics.

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/
