    Yooo!! What’s going on rad fam?! Just like how I had to get used to the radiology program, I’m trying to get used to this RUclips thing and my work flow. But just like it, I know eventually it will become easier. I work full-time and commute, so it’s been a little challenging. Needless to say, I’ll have a new video or two uploaded this weekend! Thank you everyone for your support. I truly appreciate you. In the meantime if you have any questions, I’ll try to reply to you ASAP. I’ll see y’all at the top✊🏽

      as an ancillary rotation. So I can only speak for my 2 days shadowing. But as you can imagine it was a lot of knowledge that went over my head. However, it was VERY interesting. I may interview one of my friends if their ok with it and I have enough people interested.

      @@DaybidR Sorry for the late reply but what I meant is that X ray school is REALLY HARD, not everyone gets through it. It's like a new language and it requires all of your time. You basically have no life for the 2 years you're in school lol. Of course I always try to relax here and there and exercise and do other things etc but it really takes a toll on your mental and physical health, but the outcome is worth it. As of right now I'm struggling with a class trying to get my grade up in order to save my position in the program. It's tough but I'm determined to pass it and I will💪🏽 but hey if you're up for the challenge, nothing will stop you from being successful! It's going to be tough but anything good dosen't come easy.

I watch other people’s experience and listen to their opinions on becoming a Rad tech and your video is by far the most inspirational one for me. It hit me even harder when you said “two years out of your life, to set up the rest of your life” 😭. 🙏🏼🙌🏼.

      Do you like your job, was it worth the while of this degree, and although, money is important in life... I want to really be in the healthcare, because I am person that has many family members. By the time I've reach 23 I've been to several funerals, but looking back I said "If I join the healthcare field, I believe I can help others." Do you enjoy that or do you enjoy being in the medical field? I just want to know more about it (Currently, in college just finished AS Generals no idea where to go from here)...

    In 2016 I fractured a bone in my foot at the beach because I’m clumsy af. I’ll always remember that trip to the hospital because I got the coolest X-Ray tech named Spencer who told me out of all the jobs he’s ever had this was the best job he’s ever had and that I should look into it. Immediately I began looking into it and even took a few pre-reqs. Because I’m not the biggest fan of school I eventually stopped going. I still regret not sticking it out because four years later I still feel passionate about it and there’s not much else that has interested me career wise.

      X-ray Rey Lol Yea, I’m an audio visual tech. Was en electronic repairman in the Army. Kind of been job hopping since 2016. Chasing this money is for the birds. Which is why I start my pre reqs in the fall. Hey, I can make some excellent recommendations for lighting and recording equipment. Or if you need some quality sound applications, I got you.
      Anyways, I didn’t do too well In high school but I did graduate. So I’ll probably have to take a few courses before my pre reqs but I’m at the point where I’m willing to do whatever it takes to start working in the medical field. It’s been my dream forever but I recently took a serious interest in radiology. My end goal is to practice interventional radiology.

Had my fair fair cleaning up BM, urine, bodily fluids, Flem, etc. I’m awesome with Patients / patient care but realized I kind of like working by myself , etc. I’m just nervous. I’m smart but studying for long periods at a time, finding a good study habit / time management is my biggest worry right now. Finding out what type of Learner I am. I’m leaning more hands on / visual. Good but not the greatest at math lol. Is math a everyday thing u apply? I wanna document my journey as well . We’re alike haha.

    Hi Rey ! I got accepted into a rad tech program last month and I just turned 20. Our class is getting pushed to next year around Feb. due to the Covid-19 outbreak :( Anyways, my program is in a neighboring state, and I’m from Cali. I was able to check out some of the other students accepted into the program and they’re about 25-26 years old!! I’m really worried about being the youngest in the class. I’ve been working on my prerequisites for this rad tech program since I was a junior in high school. I’ve been volunteering in the CT and MRI dept. at my local hospital for the past 2 years. I’m in love with everything radiology, but I am SO SCARED!! Is it true that during the program you become super close with the other students? Since they’re all local people and I’m the only one from out of state, I’m even more nervous. Any tips about this? Thanks Rey, definitely a new sub !!! You’re so funny!
    P.S.: when you mentioned doing IV’s and stuff... I was the only one of the potential program students who knew about Barium enemas... they all thought it was just taking xrays! 😂😂

I have been watching lots of videos trying to get more of a view of radiology and what a day is like, and the process that people go through to become a rad tech and then also move on to get the BS in whatever modality they want. I actually think that’s where I’m more stressed at.
