Hi Kharla, I only did the Associates degree but maybe start learning about anatomy. Where all the bones are. And then maybe start learning about radiation physics basics. But the program will teach you all you need to know ❤️ good luck!

how hard is the phyisics, i heard so much about that im nervous@@SydneyLyra

hey how r u so far?

That’s not frickin her job to give you information … look it tf up

Hi Audrey! Thank you for watching my video! Clinicals are basically on the job learning. You have to show that you are competent doing the job before taking the registry.

I chose it when I was probably 22 or 23. But I'm 26 now and it's never too late. There are people in my program in their 40s and 50s. If you really want a change, then I say go for it!

Hey Scott! Thank you for watching. I'd say, like with any other social interaction, it's helpful to be an extrovert but I don't think it's a prerequisite. It's easier to become more extroverted once you are an expert in your field. The more comfortable i get in clinicals, the more extroverted I become. Confidence is key and it comes with time and experience.

Thank you! Very helpful info as always!

I feel this in my bones 😒 its very frustrating and extremely unfair to those that work their ass off

On the flip side, in our CC, it is GPA based and unfortunately a lot of people get passed up. Unless you have a 3.8-4.0, your chances are slim. A good friend of mine had a 3.7.gpa. She applied multiple times and couldn't get in. I was accepted with a 3.9, but I definitely don't feel more qualified than her. I'm more bookish where she is more practical. I feel like maybe they should do a lottery with 3.5 and up or maybe add an entrance exam for extra weight. Idk what the answer is, but all I'm saying is that there are pros/cons to GPA based programs.

​@@Dee-jp6no I strongly disagree that there should be a lottery system. There should not ever be a lottery system going into someone's education. It should be about working hard to get the best grades in your courses. Yes, but you worked hard to get that GPA to get into that program. Not to say that your friend didn't work hard as well, but you had the better GPA that lead to you to get in, which is fine and fair. That's really a HIGH GPA to get. I feel like they should severely lower the GPA at your college to get into these programs because that's like a perfect GPA and the majority of students don't have a perfect GPA, from what I'm told. At my college, you have to get a 2.5 minimum GPA to even be considered into the program. However, you don't want to get just a 2.5. You want to get the best GPA so your chances will be really high to get in. I just got accepted to the program and my GPA was a 3.6 or 3.7. I would be really upset if my 3.6 or 3.7 GPA didn't get me in and someone got into the program over me with a 2.5 GPA just because of a lottery system. That would be so upsetting.

@@KennyJordana I think the problem with my program is that they only accept 20 students out of 100+ applying. It's VERY competitive. I wasn't even sure that I would get in with the 3.9 gpa. All it would take is 20 people with a 4.0 to fill those seats. Just to be clear, I'm not for a lottery system that includes 2.something. I'm saying I wouldn't be against a lottery system for a minimum 3.5 to 4.0. I just don't feel that being book smart automatically translates to excelling in the practical setting, which is a huge part of any healthcare program. I wish our program could expand to an extra 20 students and make it 40 total, but they said that they only accept 20 because they don't have enough facilities to accommodate more students.

@@Dee-jp6no Sorry for the late response, I was finishing finals. My program only took 24 students. I believe you would've got accepted into my program with your GPA. Having a lottery system for a minimum 3.5 to 4.0 is still not fair. I would be really upset if I had a 3.9 GPA and someone got accepted to the program over me with a 3.5 GPA just because of a lottery system. Any lottery system should not be in a student's education to succeed. I would think it's more about working and studying hard in school than being book smart. For example, I'm not book smart savvy at all. I just worked and studied hard in my courses. I use my resources at school and received help. Resources and help as in I had a tutors, went to the lab, went to the learning center, went to the workshops, got help from my professors, even my advisor helped me out and so on. I really feel that you don't have to be a book smart type of student to get into or to succeed in these programs. I do agree that they should expand the program and double the students instead of having 24, have 48 students be accepted. It's funny that you stated this because my advisor told me the same thing. I was told that the school doesn't have room for all these students to have more in the program.

Hi Bobbi! I don't mind at all. I've found that doing doordash is much more worth my time and I can make my own schedule. I make about 20 dollars an hour on the high end. And about 15 on the low end. So it just depends on the day and you have to be strategic about what orders you take but its much more worth it while in school to be able to make your own schedule and be making more money than if you walorked a partbtime job.

@@SydneyLyra thank you so much! This is super helpful. I’m lucky enough that I have a higher paying job now ($20/hour and I’m about to get a yearly raise) but I’m not sure they’re going to let me drop my hours below 30 and I already know better than to try to work 30 hours/week while in the program lol. DoorDash sounds like it’d be much better (and lower stress) for the program.

​@Bobbi Boles how are you doing now? I'm worried about Income as well

@@sidology1.0 still chipping away at those prereqs. I’m going to apply in January but if I’m being completely honest, I’m not sure I’m going to be able to apply due to finances. My husband is going to have to get a decent raise for me to be able to. I just don’t see how I’m going to be able to work more than one or two day and do the program. I’m struggling just taking one or two classes at a time and working 32 hours a week.

Thank you for watching Elaina. ❤️ I highly suggest it the program! Let me know if you have any questions at all!

Did you get in?

hows it going?

Thank you Adriane! Glad to see you in the comments ❤ thanks for coming back!

Oh my gosh! I feel this. 😪 I've had a difficult time adjusting to people's personalities, and not feeling like people's projected insecurities are my own.

Hey veronique! Love your name, by the way! I'll definitely add that into my video about my first clinical experience ❤❤

This is amazing. Thank you for this. Things have been tough with everything going on but I've done really well in school regardless. I appreciate your support and kindness!

Thank you! That means a lot. Things have been looking up lately

Thank you! It's my all time favorite 😍

What do you mean for those w adhd? How does it help you I’m v curious

Yes! Absolutely. It's so much more affordable and can take a weight off in the first few semesters!

How has school been going for you?

Hi Hannah! I did have an acceptance interview. It was a lot of questions to see if I was doing it for the right reasons. Also questions about difficult situations and how you overcame them. All programs are different so the entry processes and interviews are different as well. As long as your heart is in the right spot, you should be great! Don't overthink it 🥰

@@SydneyLyra thank you! I’m finishing up a bachelors in psychology and considering a major career change into radiology tech post grad. (Although in reality I think I’ve secretly wanted to make a change like this for a long time). We share a lot of similar experiences and goals, thank you so much for sharing 💚

@@Joyousone1456 literally about to change from pysch to rad tech as well!! Any tips or advice? Also how have you liked it?

I am doing an associates degree for radiologic technology. I am not too sure about the Bachelors of Science degrees. I am pretty sure the standard for Bachelors is BSc in radiologic sciences. But otherwise, I am not too sure what those would be.
