How much MA work falls under our scope of practice as an x-ray tech at an urgent care?

By

I'm working a travel contract at a pretty slow urgent care for x-rays so they seem to be expecting me to do a lot more medical assistant duties like strep and COVID swabs and doing general vitals on patients and that sort of thing.

I don't have a problem getting vitals and even running some swabs that the MA has already taken if I'm not busy but I don't want to be expected to run out and get vitals and do MA duties on every other patient that comes in.

I'm confident enough to tell them I don't feel comfortable doing some of these things but I'm just wondering if I legally am not supposed to be doing intrusive things like swabs in the throat if I'm not licensed as an MA?

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.
