Bed & Table Patient Transfer / Lift Tips | techniques | sliding board | radiology program | x-ray

I meant to upload this Tuesday! However, -vid had me working OT 🤦🏽‍♂️ Stay safe out there everyone! And use your LEGS, not your back.

Is there any possibility to work as a rad tech and have a lift team transfer patients on the table for me when needed? I’m sure it would be harder to find an employer willing to accommodate, but I wasn’t sure if it would be impossible to be hired with this accommodation needed? I have had multiple back surgeries and am cleared to work. I can do bed to table transfers like in this video but I would need a lift team for the wheel chair to table transfers. Any advice or opinion would be greatly appreciated

I just started my first clinic rotation last thursday! I am still so nervous and awkward with patients but I am determined to get over this awkwardness next week!! I have not turned down an exam and my second day I did 4 exams start to finish almost all by myself and only had 2 repeatS( lat chest; I cut the bottom angles) I love your videos they are so insightful! please post more often i need the motivation!! Your voice in mY head " if your head says dont read by all means , READ!" ex me; I dont wanna do this exam im scared...DO THE EXAM!; I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS I WISH YOU WERE MY CI!!!

[@XRAYREY]

Don't worry! It will all come natural in time. You just need time and experience. Treat everyone as family and it gets easier. That's great to hear! Thank you so much for sharing. Sounds like you're on your way to becoming an amazing tech! I'd like to post more, but work and this pandemic has other plans LOL

Another great video Rey. I especially like how you are using physics to your advantage on all three techniques. A great opportunity to show off your biceps. Also congratulations on launching a website!

[@XRAYREY]

I appreciate that! Work smarter, not harder, and save your back!

My professor just used this video as a reference guide for our patient care class! 🤓 Now everybody is gonna see where my technique card & shoes came from 🤣

[@XRAYREY]

that's awesome af! Thanks for sharing brotha. Guess you can say the channel is radiating lol

[@radboy490]

Did you have take a teas exam to enter your rad program? Ik my college is making me do it.

[@tropanganing4866]

Awesome! BSRT 2 Student here! from Philippines!

[@XRAYREY]

So cool! Hello to everybody in PI 👋🏽

[@jas2beinspired146]

Thank you for your vids! Going back to school to become an X-ray tech!! 🥰

[@XRAYREY]

You can do it!

[@nb_fanatic]

In my first year of the program and we’ve only been able to take 1 class entirely remote the first semester! Now we will finally be able to go in person for labs and have 3 classes. And because we had to wait until in-person could be done to take our patient care class, we need that done prior to being able to do our clinical rotations. So clinical won’t be until the summer for me! Prolly gonna be in a situation where clinicals go on longer than the classes themselves now 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@radboy490]

That's even better. More hands on experience to you

[@XRAYREY]

Just like Lony said! However, the two go hand in hand. You need the theory part in order to pass your boards.

Hello. Thanx for sharing your techniques and knowledge about this professional career. I am currently trying to get in rad school. Question: How long have you been a radiologist? Is there chemistry involve in this field? , Is there any tips that can help me get in to rad school. Any helpful advice will be great

[@hollydavidson350]

Also can rad techs get cross train to do ct and mri and will the pay increase?? How does that work

[@XRAYREY]

I'm a radiologic technologist, not a radiologist lol That's the DR. But 3 years. No chemistry. There's no tips other than just get your prerequisites done ASAP and apply to as many schools as you can. And just look around my channel and comments =)

[@XRAYREY]

depending on your job. some places do and don't. And yes you get paid more

[@tarigabdulla124]

It's a good technique ..

[@XRAYREY]

Save your back!

[@cocogoat7667]
