I am currently 2 months away from graduation. I began watching you when I started my program in 2020. At first a lot of what you said was a foreign language to me 😂 it’s so crazy seeing how much I’ve grown and how much I started to relate to everything you talk about. Now that I’m almost done (and super stressed for these final adjustments and my board exam) this video was a great pick me up. It showed me that everything will be okay and to just have faith in myself and my ability. These kind of videos for our career are hard to come by. Thank you for being a friend in my journey and for providing this insight to our community!

I graduated in June 2018 and ended up getting an FTE at an ortho clinic and I so agree about really not knowing everything by the end of school. I always called myself a third year student because there was still so much I had to learn. My co worker was a fresh grad as well and its just the two of us at our facility. I still feel like I’m constantly learning! So worth it though! I love what I do!

​@@radassma2681 I think RadReview was very helpful for me. I noticed that questions were worded similarly to the actual Registry. The questions themselves are also a bit more difficult, but it helps prepare you for the real thing. My program gave us a lot of mock exams to work on because most of our clinical sites were shutdown. So I think that helped a lot as well. Basically, the more exposure you have to different questions, the better. I would advise taking a mock exam and breaking down your missed questions by category to see which area you could study up more. Mosby's is a good resource, I actually got to listen to the author himself talk about the registry. He really emphasized that as long as you understand the basic concepts, you will do just fine on the registry. (which I thought was very spot on after taking the registry) Sorry for the long reply, hope this helps in some way. Best of luck! :)

Hi, I'm from Libya I work for general hospital and they pay me 200$ a month, And I work for private clinic and they pay me 100$ a month, So the total is 300$ a month, that's why I want to leave my country.

Hello, I am looking into x-ray technologist programs online and was wondering if there was a good online program that partners with a local hospital etc. so that I can still do clinical. I currently work a ft unfulfilling job and found your video inspiring. Thank you.

that's subjective. But for me, there was definitely an adjustment period. I had not been in a classroom setting for several years. But it eventually got better.

Hey man this video has been super thorough and helpful for me. My biggest concern is getting hired with visible tattoos. You’re from California like me and I see you have tattoos so that’s a good sign lol. Have you heard of anyone having trouble with their tattoos while trying to get hired as an x-ray tech? Maybe bigger hospitals like Kaiser won’t allow them and smaller clinics do allow them? Thanks for the great content, subbed!🙏🏻

Well i believe it has to do with you transitioning from a student to a tech. Give it some time, but at the same time make sure you’re progressing. You must believe in your time you put in as a student and know that you earned that RT(R) title by your name and you belong there.
