all about x-ray school: application process, clinical, + first semester advice

[@drewbasden9572]

My program is 24 months and a failing grade for us is 78 and under. But I just had my last day of my first quarter! I definitely psyched myself out thinking it would be extremely hard, but I managed to pass with A's! To anyone reading this it really is not difficult if you just study!

As a Radiologic Technologist since 2007 to all of you aspiring Technologist Do it! There is a huge demand for us! And its not getting any better. Also If you are having trouble getting a job after getting your ARRT , consider moving . Today I travel twice a week to different states to educate and train Technologist and I can tell you from personal experience after visiting hospital after hospital There is so much demand Good Luck future Technologists!

Hey! just a question since i've been hearing about it. Do you usually experience burnout from working?

[@bryantaragon2959]

Is radiology tech school hard?

[@tatiana4332]

I love your videos! I’m currently a second year student. I find that there’s not many videos on KZbin about x-ray..there’s a ton of nursing ones it’s about time someone makes some about x-ray! 😊

[@JuliaKristine]

thank you, Tatiana! yesss there are SO many nursing videos! I really wish there were more people in any of the imaging modalities who made videos! ☺️

[@MRIMan]

Thats true we need more videos like this! My channel is about MRI

[@SithkalekGolfAndGaming]

maybe just maybe nursing has more time on their hands than we do in DI.

[@alfonsoromano7389]

@@JuliaKristine just out of curiosity, I have no experience in the medical field at all whatsoever. But is the xray tech imaging school a trade? Or certificate program? And there isn't Sat or Act test required for it right? Just high school diploma? Or GED?

[@JuliaKristine]

You will likely need to have an ACT score and high school diploma to apply to most colleges, but you will have to research that for your specific school. There are radiologic technology programs offered at four-year universities for a bachelor's degree, or a two-year degree at community college's (which is what I am pursuing) for an associates in applied science degree.

[@delaneyolcott1883]

My program earned me a bachelors degree! I went through 1 year of prerequisites and 3 years in the program. It was 2 years focused on X-ray, and then the last year was a modality (mine was MRI). I stayed in X-ray clinic once a week, and the rest of the week we had MRI clinic. The University of Iowa offers an online AS to BS degree if you were interested in furthering your degree in MR, CT or CVI! Otherwise there are always jobs out there that offer cross training!

[@JuliaKristine]

That's a really amazing option!

With my excitement also comes nervousness, but thankfully I can watch your videos to know what to expect moving forward. Thanks for putting in the time & effort to help people like me!

I went through the Army for my training. It was nothing like a 2 year tech program, and literally only lasted me a year. The stuff these students go through now, I don’t envy one bit! 👍😎

[@Soychica13]

Im stuck in between going to the army like you did or just do community college to become x ray tech. Was it more difficult since they’re cramming in more material in a shorter period of time? Did you have to do the same pre requisites?

[@bethanyrose9026]

@@Soychica13 this is late and a little different than your question. I was in the air force and became an ultrasound technician rather than mri/xray I would definitely have chosen radiology in the air force if I could go back though haha But I liked having the hands on experience the job gives through the military. Tech school was definitely tough because we had to learn so much so fast, but I definitely found it to be worth it. I like having the military experience background and I was able to immediately get a job working for the VA even before getting registered, since they knew me and knew that I could do the job already. Really depends on what path you want to take though. Army is probably a good bit different than air force and physically also, you definitely have to be even more fit. (If thats a concern for you)

[@Texx_OG]

@@bethanyrose9026 Hey Bethany, I have a quick question for you if you could answer for me. When you were signing up for the Air Force did you tell the recruiter the specific MOS you wanted, or did you get diagnostic imaging through an open contract?

[@JuliaKristine]

I haven't worked with too many trauma cases yet to give a ton of advice - I've mostly been in ORIF surgeries so far, but I've never really been one to feel too queasy/faint over things like that. The best thing that helps me in those situations is to kind of do controlled breathing or the "5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique." I've asked other technologists the same thing, & they all say it takes time to feel comfortable - plus everyone is a little different with their level of comfort! There are also some medical case instagram accounts that show different surgeries/material for educational purposes that might help you become more comfortable with seeing things like that! @medschoolposts is a good account!

Thanks a lot, I’m really interested in the field and going into college to get my degree in this field.

Just to make sure medical radiography does work with needles right but you just prepare it for the radiologist

Yes! Unless you are working in a department that does IVU or IVP exams. From my experience, a nurse was called down to insert the IV, but some departments may require the RT to do it.

I got very lucky with getting into the program. At the time I applied they only allowed 15 people to be accepted, 14 were already accepted. Luckily I was the 15th choice
