      32 is still young man... Trust me if you end up going to Rad Tech school, there's a strong possibility you will not be the oldest in there... I'm 32 as well, I'm currently in Massage Therapy school and I'm far from the oldest... My wife just graduated from Surgical Tech school at 30 and she was actually one of the youngest students in the class... So my point is you have a lot of time to decide what you want to do.

    I have a question for anyone in this field. How much standing, walking and moving about in a hospital setting do rad tech do in a typical shift? I'd like to keep my brain as well as my body healthy in a job that I will doing as a career.

    • @jppppppppp
      @jppppppppp 3 года назад +12

      A LOT. Depends on if you’re working an 8, 10 or 12 hour shift. I’d say on avg, standing/walking at minimum 80-90% of the shift. Some hospitals have 16 hour shifts too, those can be brutal if doing multiple in a row. X-ray techs work in the ED (emergency department), X-ray inpatients in the X-ray dept, go to patient rooms to take X-rays with the portable machine, X-ray outpatients, go to the OR (operating room), do fluoroscopy (“live” X-ray) exams, etc and sometimes all in one day. You are servicing the entire hospital; some things are pre-scheduled, and for other exam you’re on-call (STAT chest X-rays post procedures, ie, post open heart surgeries). Basically, you’re like a ping-pong. Yes, you get to sit down in between, or to do paperwork after an exam, but depending on the size of the hospital and the type of services provided, you’re on your feet ALL day. Especially in the OR-you can be standing in the same room, in the same space for hours at a time. It helps to be physically fit, esp considering the movement of large equipment and difficult patients; but I’ve done the job while both skinny and fat-only difference for me, more sweating (and swearing) while fat. But honestly, working in a hospital setting is physically demanding, more than I imagined, and being physically fit is def a benefit. I’d get new shoes every few months, and sometimes I would switch between pairs during my workday bc my feet would hurt after the 6-7 hours mark no matter what I was wearing. If I was standing more (during my OR rotations/days) I wore clogs, but if I was walking more (portable X-ray rotation) I wore Adidas boost (splurged and got $200 shoes bc they were worth it!). For ref, I currently work in an orthopedic clinic (for the last 6 mo) so the environment is slower paced and the patients are easier to move and xray-my feet/legs don’t hurt daily anymore.

      ​@@ceeeceee8753yo yo😅😅😅😅😅😅 🤘🏾. I swear to God I had those two choices in mind. I started a pre code bootcamp. 😢 But was disappointed to see how competitive it is in software engineering. I hear many stories of graduates applying to 200 or more job openings and not getting a call back. Plus, these companies are mostly looking for senior engineers with over five years of experience. My next option was the medical field, which is always in demand. I am considering x-ray technician. The pay is not as much as a senior software engineer. And you be on your feet all day. 🙄. So I'm still trying to find my calling. FYI I have a master's and work in corporate America but didn't theme for fulfilled. So that's my journey so far
