I am just halfway through the video but can I just say that I love how you talk about your work and the things that you like. That's my goal in life, being able to have a job that I can talk about with a smile on my face and being happy about!
Life is too short to be unhappy with your career! 🤍
with the amount of bones i’ve broken over the years, it’s so interesting to see the process from the other side🤣💕 you’re literally the coolest gal
AW I’m sorry you had to go through that!! You’re the coolest person I know so wtf ily 🤍
I’m a rad tech at a clinic and my work essentials are: water bottle, cold crew with cream, Pulse ox (our docs like them with covid), pens, planner, any bulk Costco snacks, compression socks (lol), Apple Watch, deodorant, extra masks, sanitizer, hand cream, chapstick, feminine products, and any size of pad of paper/small journals. I hope this helps! I was cross trained in Lab and CMA due to covid but I enjoy helping others 🙂 Cheers!
Thank you so much for this!!!
Yesss the pens 🖊
love seeing more into your day!

@@JuliaKristine You're so welcome be blessed!!!
I love this. I know what you mean by hippaa. I work in a hospital as a housekeeper but I got a peek at the machines and they are all super different
I love watching your videos so much girl! I'm about your age and also an x-ray tech so its nice to see someone doing their thing on RUclips!! I'm also learning MRI at the moment so its cool seeing us on the same boat lol. My essentials are a water bottle, my apple watch, hand lotion and hand sanitizer, extra masks (like a lot lmfao) and some snacks!!
no way, I love that!!! I need all of the advice and tips! Thank you so much!! ☺️
Congrats on the new job!! If you’re willing to, I (and I bet a lot of others 😂) would love to see your journey/process of studying for and learning CT and MRI! I just got accepted into an RT program and your vids are so encouraging to watch 😁
Thank you so much! Absolutely - you know I’ll be vlogging my experience 🤍 congratulations on your acceptance!
@@JuliaKristine thank you!! And can't wait for the vlogs 😊
Congrats! I just got accepted into my RT program as well for this fall 2021! good luck to the both of us☺️
@@HelenVillalobos yay congrats!! 😁😁
When I trained in MRI I had a note book 📓 to write down all the notes on positioning, scan planning and even some pictures I drew. I also bought a MRI and CT pathology book, which is very helpful because if you see certain pathology you have to call a Radiologist because that pt may have Togo straight to the hospital. Also in the book it tells you what protocols to run. I bring lunch, snacks, headphones, gum, vitamins, water and thats about it 😄 Sometimes I bring my drone or skateboard haha for my brakes
Good luck with your journey. MRI can be a pain in the beginning but if you worknhard and you are interested you get way better.
Thank you very much for the tips! I bought a notebook for that reason ☺️
i like the song at the beginning!
Oh wow, I'm so glad you posted this video! I really love learning about your career and seeing whatever you are able to show! That's awesome about the flexibility of the scrub colour, do you have a favourite colour?
Thank you!! ☺️ I like wearing black best just because it hides stains, pen marks, etc!
I am in CT school! Just finished my clinical. Mosbys is the holy bible for learning CT for the registry. I’m hoping to take my boards in May! Good luck! And love you girly! Keep advocating! 🥰
Thank you so much! Good luck with your boards! You’re going to do amazingly well :)
LIVVVVINNNNNNGGGG for this OK
X-ray machines with remotes are so cool when you first see them. Then you use them for a while and realize they decided to ignore the ergonomics completely (because it has a remote??) and it's harder to move manually than any other machine.
There are pros and cons with every unit!
Please do a haircare routine , I’m brand new to your channel but your hair is sooooo beautiful
I have to have my lunch bag (target now has cute speckled ones) and positioning book, planner, airpods, watch, and tons of toiletries
Thank you!!!
I’m in my last 2 months of X-ray school!!!
So exciting!!!
I just discover you and I love your content
Thanks so much!!
cherokee infinity scrubs are my favorite! i think they’re wayyy better than figs and they’re less expensive! also, they’re bleach resistant which is great because i work with a lot of bleach at our dialysis clinic 🤧 congrats on your new job!! 💕 so exciting!
They’re so comfy! Woah I did not know that! That’s so cool ☺️ thank you so much!
Bleach resistance 😳 I need them
@@brandylittle9186 get them!! they’re the best :)
soooooo happy I came across this video! btw great video🤍 I applied to my radiology program March 1, got an email on March 5 stating I am moving on to the interview process! My interview is March 31 so I’m hoping I get accepted into the program!
Wishing you the best of luck with your interview! 🥰
@@JuliaKristine Thank youuuu🤍
Have 7y of CT & RX experience. It takes maybe 1-3 weeks to learn all the possibilities of RX positions. However to learn CT scan, it will take several months to be really good at it (knowing how to scan, which procedure to use, and how much contrast/delay is required before the scan happens.)
I dont know how fast the workload is, but at my hospital we do like 30-35patiënt / 5h on CT scan. Than another 25 patiënt from 2pm untill 7pm. And than you are on call, during the night once a week. But you need to work the next day, now matter if you did get called. Cardiac, abdomen, thorax, orthopedic, ... with or without contrast. A CT scan can be completed in 2-3minutes. And it takes maybe 7min to get the patiënt in, hook him up on the contrast injector and leave the room (after checking his kidneys if they can even handle the contrast. You dont want to destroy some kidneys.)
In total we do like 300+ patient with 6 working nurses/tech a day. (including echo, mammo, RX and CT).
Now i'm being trained on MRI. I use www.mrimaster.com to help me. We work from 7am untill 0.00 pm to minimize the waiting list. Covering 3 shifts.
I wish you the very best learning CT & MRI. The most important to know, is what a coronal,sagital and axial view is and how you can get this through positioning the patiënt/Changing parameters on the CT & MRI scanners. We use Siemens. And for the love of god, check the kidney function, the dosage of contrast & confirm the name and date of the patiënt.
whats in my bag? Mostly snacks and water. You'll burn away those calories in no time, doing a job like this.
Thank you for all of the tips and advice!
I'm still in second year in college but I really excited to be working in a hospital..
There is definitely a lot of variety and you’re constantly kept busy!
@@JuliaKristine ooohh...should I be worried or be happy?
@@hopesy6642 it’s a good thing!!
@@JuliaKristine thank you so much! Hope to see more videos of your experience. take care always and stay healthy
Hi julia!
You are so well organized......wish I can be this cool and collected....lol
I just love your videos so flipping much🥺 I wish we could be friends in person!
aw!!! Thank you so much 🤍
Hi Julia! I was wondering where your black long sleeve is from that you wore under your scrubs. I’ve been looking for a material like that to wear under my scrubs. Thanks! 😊
Hi! They're from Med Couture :) I own tons of colors and love them! www.scrubsandbeyond.com/med-couture-activate-mc-performance-scrub-tee.html
I have a shoulder specialist who always asks for a Grashey and axillary 🥲
Must just be a routine I’ve never encountered before! ☺️
Are you liking CT or MRI more? I’m in my second semester of rad tech school and I can’t wait to see which direction I will go in once I graduate! Love you girl 🤍
I haven’t quite started training! April 5th is my first official day ☺️ based on shadowing during school though, CT was my favorite!
@@JuliaKristine good luck, girl!🤍🍀
Ortho X-ray tech here❤️❤️
hi!!!
Hey Julia
What is the average salary range in your profession?
This will depend on the state/city you're in, if you work at a hospital vs. clinic, the shift you work, cost of living in the area, etc. From what I've seen, it can range anywhere from $20-$35. My state ranges from $20-$25 and the $35 range was in NYC
What size of Cherokee uniforms did u order? I have the same body type as you and I don’t know what size to order :(
XS top, S bottom
hey julia love your videos as always. can you share your shoes link which you wore at 01:30 ❤
Check the description box! I already linked them :)
@@JuliaKristine oh sorry i didn't check it. btw thanks 😄👌🏻
@@chillndie no problem at all! ☺️
I love your videos ! I’m interesting in becoming a rad tech but I’m short. Would that be an issue?
I wouldn’t think that would be an obstacle :) I’m not sure how tall you are, but I’m 5’2” ish and I don’t have an issue!
What nail polish do you use? And what’s the color?
I had them done at a salon so I don’t know the specific color!
when it comes to Anatomy, is it general or more in depth? what should I start reading about it to prepare myself ?
I hope you can answer this.
In depth! I would recommend studying the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, as well as all of the bones and their small prominence names!
@@JuliaKristine thank you for taking the time to reply. I am a bit nervous, I will be starting in the fall
im a first year student and grasheys will be the death of me. my clinical site does them ap and i ALWAYS over rotate 😩
This is definitely a common thing! Don't beat yourself up for it :)
One little trick I found is that if the AP is included in the shoulder routine, I'll judge how much rotation to move my patient by looking at how much their glenoid fossa superimposes the head of the humerus on the first AP view
How do you build confidence when you’re nervous? I struggle with anxiety when I’m new to anything. Also, I’m the biggest introvert and I know you are too.. any advice?
I’m planning on talking about this in an upcoming podcast episode! I really really struggled with comparison and self-doubt when I first started my program! You honestly have to practice “faking” the confidence! It gets better with time and practice 🤍
@@JuliaKristine I have learned to do this too!! I am in my second semester of my Masters of Clinical Dietetics program and I just fake it til I make it! I always look at how far I have come and that I have nothing to worry about ❤
Are you going to stay in xrays or will you be cross-training into another modality?
I mentioned all of that in this video! I will help out with xray and the front desk when needed, but my main job is training into CT and MRI.
I love your hair! Is it your natural color?
Thank you! Yes!
Where did you get your face masks?
Ulta! They’re by the brand Kitsch www.ulta.com/neutral-100-cotton-face-mask-set?productId=pimprod2016734
FRUITY PEBBLES CREAMER!! THEY MAKE THAT!?!?😲
Yesss, it's amazing
@@JuliaKristine Quick question, Im 26 y.o. Chef and I tried to go back to school for computer science but found it extremely overwhelming. I was an A/B student all in high school. I'm interested in Rad Tech as a career change. Do you feel like any rad tech associates degree from the community college is enough to enter the job market right away? If so, what kind of person excels or struggles with the curriculum?
How do those Cherokee infinity scrubs compare to your figs scrubs?
I don’t prefer Figs! I’ve done a video comparing a few different brands here! ruclips.net/video/3Xpo9NfR6Ig/видео.html
@@JuliaKristine I've watched it (several times) 😊 I just didn’t remember seeing these in the video so I was curious how they compared to the ones previously mentioned. Specifically the figs. Thank you for replying. I’ll order the Cherokee now 😂
Oh! Yes, you’re right! I got them after that video :) Something about Figs just don’t fit me as well! I hiiiighly recommend the Infinity line!
To any rad techs, what subjects do you need to be excellent at, to become a successful rad tech?
Radiographic positioning, Anatomy and physiology, medical terminology
Like 488 Nice video, thanks for sharing. Hope to see more interesting video in your channnel. See you around !
The saddest thing for me is not being able to wear my apple watch for MR. Lmk if you find a good alternative lol
I’ll have to ask our MRI tech because I know she has a watch that she wears in by the magnet! I’ll keep you updated :)
@Emerson Owen I’ve heard of the charging magnet stopping and not charging and it turning off on its own? Have you experienced anything weird. Might give it a try with my old one!
@@JuliaKristine how is this even allowed in a hospital? How does the mri tech sanitize & desinfect his hands & wrist after every contact with patiënts if he is wearing a watch? In most european hospitals it is fobidden for nurses/Tech to even be wearing wedding rings & watches, nail polish because its interrupts the way you can properly desinfects your hands (after every patiënt contact).
@@krulkrulle6588 🤷🏼♀️ I don’t make the rules, I just follow them.
My coworker uses a garmin and has no problems. I use an Apple Watch series one but it shuts off if I stick my hand too far in the magnet. Still works though 🤣👍🏻
Im wondering, What time do you wakeup in the morning for work?
6:50 to 7:00
Did you learn CT and MRI in school or are you just now learning on the job? Please let me know😊😊😊
I’m learning on the job which I mentioned in this video :)
Thank you! Your videos help out a lot & are very interesting!!🙂
Do u live by urself
No I live with my boyfriend
For MRI don’t wear your Apple Watch!! The magnet will strip the battery! Definitely purchase a digital watch off Amazon there are a bunch that are ok with the magnet !
Yes, I know! Thanks!
