why shouldnt somebody do it for the money tho. its perfectly fine to not like a job and still do a good job at it and reap its benefits. im describing like 99% of the work force. not everything has to be a special calling or passion
Because we know people who went in just for the money, and you can fake it for a while, but sooner or later either you learn to love it or bitterness sets in, and it affects people and lives. The damage you can do from mentally checking out in a medical career is very different from any other career.
I don't understand "don't do it for the money" poverty sucks & bills don't stop. Most of the working-class, "does it for the money" the safety, security & future that money provides. Capatalism, if ya don't have money, you (&/or your loved ones) don't have nothin.
Yes! MRI Tech of 20 years here. Compassion & Patience, & Communication! I remind myself that I don’t know what’s going on with my patients & treat every single one with kindness and remember this is not their norm everyday. They’re most likely nervous, claustro, in pain or who knows if they have other stuff going on at home. And let’s face it, they don’t want to be there anyway. So I never take their crabbiness personally. Some of them just need someone to talk to or even a hug. Sounds like you would be a great coworker!
Solid, honest list man! Every day, if you aren't learning or doing something new...you're slippin'. Healthcare is a tough business; if you want "in", you had better be ready to step-up. It is not a place for underperforming. This is a profession all about taking care of other peoples health.
Ever since I broke my arm back in middle school and was in the hospital I was fascinated by the whole procedure. I was in horrid pain and they treated me so well and helped me calm down. Just the atmosphere of the X-ray room really stuck with me. I work as a assistant in a therapy clinic and deal with people in pain and have to assist them in the emotional aspect. I love it but I am really only a janitor. I’m hoping into the program in the next semester and I am so excited
Awesome video man. Really informative. Love the sincere advice. I am in Anatomy, getting my prereqs out of the way before I enter rad school. I am a breast cancer survivor with a real passion for compassionate diagnostics. I have two bachelor's degrees and cancer was a blessing because it showed me what I want to do with my career. I LOVE anatomy.
That was me...#4. I loved the technology, the machines...but I quickly found out my heart and mental health couldn't take patient care. Took me 10y to save enough to go back to school for another career. That time was very damaging to me. KNOW YOURSELF BEFORE YOU GO IN.
I worked with a girl who told me to avoid radiology at all costs before i even started school 😂, she was a new MRI tech. Fast forward 5 yrs im MR and i dont mind waking up everyday and helping others. Started with an Xray 2 yr program, only scanning 2 years. Im still learning but I love my job 👍🏽.
@@ismaelojeda9563 Absolutely! it’s all about perspective and what you do with the opportunity. Getting in is the first step best of luck you’ll do great 🤝🏽.
I became an X-ray tech to get myself out the Bronx. My husband and I built an amazing life for ourselves 5 years later. My priorities have changed. I no longer want to do xray and with Covid changing the whole job, it’s just disheartening that I don’t love my job anymore.
Yup!! and just to add it as well and I had learn about this as I was growing up make sure you see yourself in it for the rest of your life as well. I loved Culinary worked for 6 years and loved it but it wasn't something that I see myself in for the rest of my life. be wise with your decision making.
I’m going into semester 2 of MRI tomorrow, I have definitely thought about what seeing sick, injured, unwell patients on a daily basis might do to me. Part of me feels like I should have done some volunteering in a hospital first, just to get a first hand idea of what goes on, but then another part of me just trusted my gut working in a casino for 4 years prior to that decision and seeing people that are upset, angry, drunk, disrespectful on a daily basis and I’ve grown to be able to mentally deal with these things. I’m curious if you think those two jobs compare? I do know the types of people I’ll be seeing are in a much different state, but I’d like to think I have an ability to be able to cope to some extent. Love the videos as always, hope you’re doing well, and I’m curious what you’re going back to school for?
Working as an MRI technologist is a challenging job that can involve interacting with patients who are sick or injured, and this can be emotionally taxing for some people. It is normal to have concerns about how you will cope with these situations. While working in a casino and working in a hospital are different, both jobs involve dealing with people who may be upset, angry, or disrespectful at times. It sounds like you have developed some coping mechanisms through your experience in the casino industry, and this could be helpful in your future career as an MRI technologist. However, it is important to remember that working in a hospital setting can be more intense than working in a casino. Patients may be experiencing physical pain, fear, and anxiety, and it is important to have empathy and compassion for their situation. It may be helpful to seek support from colleagues, supervisors, or mental health professionals if you find that you are struggling with the emotional demands of the job. Volunteering in a hospital or healthcare setting can be a good way to gain exposure to the types of situations you may encounter as an MRI technologist, and it can also provide an opportunity to develop your interpersonal and communication skills. However, it is not a requirement for becoming an MRI technologist, and many people enter the field without prior healthcare experience. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide what steps you feel are necessary to prepare for this career.
I'm struggling in x ray school first semester and did terrible on my first lab and first physics test. I'm a very nervous person and lack confidence. This program is a lot harder but I signed up for it and said that I can do it.
I like this video im applying to a program next year andd im still watching videos to make sure lol I want to work in healthcare but i dont want to give injections and this is the closest i could get.
Hey! I'm almost in externship, but started this program because I'm interested in being part of its history and participate in its development. What articles do you read, or resources do you use to keep up with MRI technology? Also, do you know any programs that one could join in regards to learning about its advancement in technology, or pilgrimage in research?
I'm really interested in this field, but I'm worried about the amount of gore I might see, especially as an xray tech. I was going to become a cardiac sonographer first and then do MRI just to avoid all the gore. Is that a silly decision to make?
I am kind of the same mindset which is why I am not doing nursing. But as someone who’s had multiple scans via CT, MRI, Ultrasound after surgeries. I am genuinely interested in this field.
I am a student in a nuclear medicine program. I do clinicals 4 days a week and I don't really see anything gorey. We do have to start IVs all the time, though. Rad techs/sonographers from other departments sometimes ask us to start IVs because we are so accustomed to doing them
It really depends on where you work. But for the most part, MRI is not the first line for trauma like CT & X-ray are. Most of our MRI patients are already bandaged up post-op or if they have would infections, it’s wrapped up as well. So in most places, you aren’t going to see too many gorey things if you’re talking about wounds & blood. Now puking, pee, & poop is a different story 😂
One thing about radiology it should be a universal of a specifications on the protocols of how to read these images starting from A to z everybody universally should do the same
You never have to accept that healthcare is a business. Fight for unions and nationalized healthcare. We all deserve quality preventative and emergency healthcare.
Im wondering, if you are in the school, do you need to get into the machines to see how the people feel inside? Me for instance am very scared from anything radiology related and id like to know
His answers reflect my experience as well. Inpatients are far more complicated on average but come to you with IVs, outpatients you'll be placing more IVs but they're overall healthier and easier to care for.
Depends on your state and program. Most states like mine you need prerequisites to apply for a Radiologic Technology program (some are 2 and some are 4 years.) Then you graduate and take your board exam ARRT. After that you can become certified with more training and schooling in MRI/CT ect. You can also (Depends on the state) go into radiation therapy with another 16 month program. Some states allow straight into certain programs then others but some are hard to get into with zero prior in Radiology. Hope this helps. I'm currently in a Radiologic Technology program to become an X ray tech. I plan on radiation therapy after then dosemetry and then maybe PA. (Physician Assistant)
it depends on where you live, for example i live in Florida and wanted to be MRI Tech but you have to be X-Ray Tech first and then do MRI but in California you can go straight in
I went into radiology because I needed a job that would support me, I ended up loving it, doing well in it, literally making it a part of who I am.
Awesome 👌🏽

I’m interested in the body parts, but it seems a little intimidating and scary because there’s a bunch of different parts,
the body is ONE, the idea that there are parts is arbitrary.
