- Although my job is fun MOST of the time there are traumatic exams that stick with me. Thank you to those of you who choose to hang out with me today as we talk about radiology and in the future as we discuss whatever comes next! I appreciate your willingness to come along in this journey with me as we switch some things up around here. Stay safe and hug your children a little tighter today.
Also blessings to you and your family and your journey with foster care 💙🫶
I'm a radiology student and really want to work in peds i never knew this was something to consider. Gonna ask about it tomorrow at my rotation at the children's hospital 💙
Thank you so so much for all of your videos and for what you are doing to begin in assisting foster children. Can’t thank you enough!
Thank you for your support!
Thanks for sharing this. I will be doing one of my clinicals at a Children’s Hospital, and I never even thought about the abuse aspect.
I did have a question, about the program - I am finding it really tough, to the point, that it’s making me rethink this career choice. I’m having a hard time differentiating between whether or not I dislike school or, or if I will dislike the actual job. Did you have a similar experience? And, how different is the actual career, from the schooling? For example, in a real life situation, will we be expected to critique every image, and perform mathematical calculations to alter the kV and mAs? Does positioning get easier?
I appreciate you reaching out. I enjoyed school but there were some major drawbacks to being a student in the field. Once your a registered tech things change quite a bit. You do need to look at your image and be able to quickly determine if it’s acceptable to send to the radiologist based on positioning/technique/anatomy present. However this takes about 2 seconds for a seasoned tech to do. We typically don’t use math on a daily basis and you begin to recognize what technique will work with each body type. Positioning becomes second nature and very repetitive. You may want to look into advanced imaging options and shadow before you decide to call it quits on x-ray.
I’ am planning to go back to school for radiology tech and was hoping is there any tip or refresher on taking physic class? I’m not so good in math.
If you struggle with math then I would focus on getting the basics down as far as linear algebra and cross multiplication. If you try to dig into physics before the program then you may overwhelm yourself while focusing on topics that your instructor may not even cover. As long as you can solve a math problem then you’ll learn the physics formulas as you go and it will be easier for you in general.
❤❤ ware are you from?
I have completed my graduation from India, can u please provide your mail ID for some queries
Hi! I’ve been in the RT program for about 4 months now and I had never heard about the post mortem skeletal surveys; it all sounds very interesting but so sad.
Also wanted to say that you are such a beautiful soul! I look forward to hearing all about your new journey as a foster parent 🤍
Thank you for your support! I’m curious if your school will discuss them later in the program or not. Good luck with the rest of your program!
