college week in my life: first day of clinical, studying, & Target haul

[@AlexaPaige]

Hahaha you’re right, it’s never a Julia vlog without target!! Loving your vlogs SO MUCH!!!!! 😍🤗

[@JuliaKristine]

I just can't help myself 😂 thank you so much!!!

[@raeram2008]

As a nurse i feel like I’m going to learn a lot of radiological things that will be super interesting from you

[@JuliaKristine]

Awh I sure hope so! I admire nurses SO much!

[@13skinnyminny13]

I'm in rad school too! I've noticed from your vlogs that we use the same positioning textbook, how crazy?! What are some study tips that you would recommend? I am just starting rad school, I'm in my first semester now. Also, what are some tips you would recommend for going to clinical? We will start going in the next few months but I just don't know what to expect!!! Thanks girl, xoxo

[@JuliaKristine]

omg that’s amazing! How funny! I love that book! aaaaah the anticipation of starting clinical is the worst part! We started clinical two weeks into our very first semester & the wait was terrifying! I’ve been at a big hospital for my first two rotations & it is sooo busy, which I love! Such an amazing learning experience right from the start. My advice is to jump in at any opportunity you can, & ask questions! Even if it’s an exam you haven’t covered yet, watch and help out your supervising techs and show that initiative :) Just a side note - we have 8 hour clinical days and my feet/legs hurt so bad at the end of the day. Highly recommend Blitzu calf compression sleeves on Amazon! Life saver! you’ve got this, girl! you’re going to rock it out :) if you ever have other questions or want to talk, send me a message on insta!!

[@tarinroberts2047]

I'm a rad tech student too! Again, using Bontrager's as our book. The fist semester is always the most intimidating but it's going to be ok. My advice is to just take it one day at a time. Clinic is tough but so worth it. Study advice would be study a little bit of everything each night so you don't feel rushed or stressed out about it. You got this!

[@StephRewritten]

Congratulations on your A!!! You deserve it girl! That soup looks seriously amazing, I want to try out that recipe!! Skinny pop is like my go-to snack and that friggen coat omg! So cute!! You go girl! You are like killing it and are so fricken smart! Great vlog as always :)

[@JuliaKristine]

Thank you, Steph!! Seriously you need to make that soup this fall! It was seriously so delicious. You're seriously the sweetest!!

[@MakaylaSamountry]

[@taylorelizabethbeauty]

Omgggg the Taurus mug yes we love a Taurus sister! WOW that dinner looks amazing, definitely going to try this recipe with my mom ahahha You're killing it with school, so proud of you!

[@JuliaKristine]

I saw the horoscope mugs on clearance at Target and it made me so sad that they're getting rid of them. Hopefully they will come out with a new design lol! UGH thank you! I'm trying to work so hard this semester so I hope the hard work pays off! We have to make it happen again soon hahaha I could spend hours in Target

[@hannahborup8171]

I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your x-ray school journey!! I just finished my first year of x-ray school and it is so nice to see someone on KZbin doing x-ray school too! I wanted to make a KZbin channel where I do videos about x-ray school too because I feel like you are the only one that does videos about this topic!

[@JuliaKristine]

Thank you for supporting me! You totally should start a channel :) Jordyn Nicole is also an x-ray youtuber!

[@hannahborup8171]

Julia Kristine thank you! I have never seen her videos before! Thank you for letting me know.

[@BaByDiva2love]

Ah your videos are always so interesting and aesthetic to watch! 💓

[@JuliaKristine]

[@lillylove4790]

That course you’re taking sounds really interesting 🤔 I would love to know more about it!

[@JuliaKristine]

[@cassiealleman2034]

[@JuliaKristine]

[@sarahbrandon7107]

[@jbauth]

girllll you don't even know how much i love soup wow needed this

[@JuliaKristine]

HIGHLY recommend making it!! I'm lazy af when it comes to cooking, & it literally took me 5 minutes to throw together yet it's freakin delicious. a win!!

[@evelynnolvera7003]

I have the same textbooks as you! So cool to see other people exploring Radiology 🤩 I feel your stress sis because I’m right there with you

[@JuliaKristine]

ah I love hearing from other radiology students! ☺️

[@CaraJane]

That pink sweater looks sooo cute on you! And I neeed that soup!! Pretty sure I have soup like 3 times a week during fall and winter! ;)

[@JuliaKristine]

Thank you!! Omg yes you need to try it out! Let me know if you like it :) soup is my go-to!!

[@MsCankersore]

Wanted to find out more about this career and stayed for the interesting content! Do you find the work Physically demanding? I keep hearing that down the line a lot of people end up having to get surgery on account of having to lug patients around?

[@JuliaKristine]

I guess it depends on the facility you're at! Some facilities are short staffed and require the technologists to transport patients from their bed to the table by themselves, which is SO bad for a person's back. I personally didn't experience this though! Some days you will get 12,000+ steps and the lead aprons weighed on my low back some days, but it's not too bad!

[@MsCankersore]

First off, thanks for the detailed reply. I was on the fence on about wether to consider this as a career since I have lower issues but soon will be ridding myself of that, hopefully. Didn't know about the lead aprons as well so thanks for the heads up. I'm really digging the videos as they are both useful and well edited :)

[@alexjayne_]

this is so exciting julia!! 😃

[@JuliaKristine]

Thanks, Alex! 💕

[@BrittLyons]

Julia you remind me SO much of kiki chanel on youtube! Love your videos! and i LOVE your mug! I want an Aquarius one 😍💖

[@JuliaKristine]

I've never heard of her!! I see the resemblance with the blonde hair ☺️ omg girl go to Target asap! The horoscope mugs are all 30% off!

[@BrittLyons]

well you're both gorgeous so i think that's it! And omg... i'm gonna check them out. They're like the perfect horoscope instagram mugs! 😍💕

[@brittanytrull]

how do you look so good that early in the morning, the world will never know

[@JuliaKristine]

pssssh hardly!

[@sarahbrandon7107]

"does it rain here very often? No. But, did I need it? Yes." haha

[@JuliaKristine]

I have gotten such good use out of that jacket in the last year!! 😂

[@CrisGarcia6]

Hope you had an amazing college time

[@sarahphelps2868]

You don’t learn any exams before going to clinical? We learned to take chest X-rays before we went to clinical so that as long as we passed our tests we could take chest X-rays with supervision. Also, how are you liking surgery so far? I’m in my 4th semester and am just finally starting to love surgery because I’m starting to get comfortable because it’s sooo intimidating.

[@JuliaKristine]

We started clinical the second week of first semester, so we hadn't learned much about positioning at that time! We started the chest chapter the same week that we started clinical :) This vlog was from the start of my semester! Now three months in, we are now tested out on chest, abdomen, upper extremity, and shoulder girdle, so we can comp out of any of those exams! Basically we start a new chapter then test out the following week. Once we have taken & passed the written test/lab test out, we are allowed to comp out on that exam in the clinical setting under direct supervision! Once we have comped out of 4 of that specific exam under direct supervision, we are allowed to take them under indirect supervision. I hope that makes sense! I enjoy surgery a lot! Still getting used to being around the sterile environment, even three months in, but it's an amazing experience! It's SO intimidating - I'm glad you can relate! I respect the surgical techs & surgeons SO much.

[@Parkerparadise]

What shoes do you recommend? We are supposed to have leather or non-canvas shoes in plain colors.

[@JuliaKristine]

I didn't have those requirements, so I'm not sure of comfortable recommendations! We were allowed to wear any shoes that didn't have holes (ex. Crocs)

[@tierney7519]

I love these vlogs!! You’re so studious look at you go! 🤗💜

[@JuliaKristine]

Thank you!!! My goal is to hopefully get all A's this semester so I've gotta start off strong! 😂

[@samantharowe600]

Why do you have to change at the hospital and can’t just wear your scrubs there?

[@JuliaKristine]

We go into surgery, so the scrubs have to be laundered by the hospital! You can’t wear street clothing into the operating room

[@cassielaynemakeup473]

Your channel is perfect!!! I am so so so glad I found it!!! Just subscribed! I hope we can become youtube beesstttiiesss! xoxoxoxo

[@HannahxBeee]

Love these vlogs! And you literally always look cute lol ✨

[@JuliaKristine]

thank you, beautiful!! you're so sweet!

[@BenjitheFrenchie]

How do you find the right school and where are the prerequisites how do you get started?

[@JuliaKristine]

Google radiology technology programs for your state. I listed all of my prereqs in this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4rXfJaej6qdoKs

[@nicoledimarco3590]

How does everyone balance school and work? I start my program this summer and i’m nervous!

[@JuliaKristine]

You will do great! It's absolutely possible to balance the two. If you can work weekends, I'd highly suggest doing that!

[@emckenzie09]

I love your videos ❤️

[@chrisju9761]

are yoy able to work a job when going to school???

[@JuliaKristine]

Depends on what program you’re accepted to, but mine allowed us to hold a job

[@Icegirljess]

Your life is literally so interesting?!?! 😂❤️

[@JuliaKristine]

hahahaha only some days! 😜

[@kaylatcompton]

You've made me want to go to target so many times lol

[@JuliaKristine]

Target makes the world go round 😍

[@mayrazuniga4537]

What’s the difference between radiography and radiology

[@JuliaKristine]

Radiography is the process of taking xrays. Radiology is the study of xrays/radiation.

[@cassiesheeley6392]

Basically, radiology is working with x-rays, making a diagnosis, and then performing procedures. Radiography, however, involves manning the machine and telling the doctors and radiologists what's up with the x-rays and what they tell us about the patient's injury/condition. Same type of field, but radiology is more advanced than radiography.

[@CmatthYBR]

She be all about that 'cado, y'all.

[@panchovilla4654]

I still love you marry me 💸💕🐩🤫💋💋💋💋💋🐶

[@bottosrob]

99% of this has nothing to do with a day in the life of school.

[@JuliaKristine]

Then simply don’t watch and don’t waste your time commenting this?? I can guarantee 99% of any college vlogs do not show college lectures/classes… that is against all university guidelines since you pay for your education. Wouldn’t make much sense for people to go to school if people posted that for free? Also, any and all clinical experience (nursing, respiratory therapy programs, etc.) can’t be filmed either because of HIPPA. I think I tried my best given the circumstances. Have a good day.
