Are you able to become an X ray technician through trade school?
Do you have tips for the school interview?
I’m in this situation rn. I completed my prerequisite courses at a community college and applying to private schools.
What state are you in?
How old were you when you started your rad tech program?
Was the school JRCERT accredited
I love how most people stumble across Rad Tech even though we all have met one and had an x-ray before 😊
Omg im leaving Banking to do radio tech too , felt that 10000%
i applied to my college last week any tips once in the program super ready but also nervous
how r u so far??
i will be applying in the Fall semester at Merced College California, cant wait kinda nervous
Can you give us an update? Did you make it thru? You should be a tech now right? I hope you made it. So sorry for your loss❤️🙏🏽
hows the program going????
I'm planning to take BS rt in the future. What lessons should I look into and learn as early as possible? Like the basics.
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
Did you graduate?
Did you graduate Sydney?
i just took the exam for bontrager ch 4 upper extremity and it was soooo hard
I do the same thing when studying I answer the ones I know and go back to all the questions I can’t remember the answers to or I having a hard time it find that that saves me a lot of time
Thank you for this! Saved the coloring book and flash cards!!!!
How many days a week were your clinicals? Loved your video I’m currently in my fist semester then going to take my pre reqs and apply for the program I’m excited but I’m so scared at the same time I have no idea I’m so scared of failure because going back to school at an older age (30) is rough
hey how r u so far?
Hi sydney I respect the grind, im also in school for rad tech and will be doing my clinical rotation in late October this year. Im new to youtube. Thank you for your advice for clinicals. Im nervous lol.
Hay quá
Hay quá
This video has literally no useful information.
That’s not frickin her job to give you information … look it tf up
Can you explain what clinical are? I’m a senior in high school, and I’m taking summer classes for the required pre reqs. Is it pretty much just training in the actual workplace?
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.
Next video could you speak a little louder?
Yo! Cool video Nice channel Fellow Rad Tech ☢️ here supporting 🙂
I love your video so much. I also felt like you were speaking to me directly. It’s so personal and I’m so related what you explained in your video. I also had to change my life and chose rad tech. I have an interview tomorrow. Thank you so much. You’re truly inspired to me.
i just finished my first year of rad school. i did well but i’ll be sure to use some of these tips. thanks!
How old were you when you settled on rad tech? I’m 26 and already desperately trying to change career paths. But am afraid I’ll be wasting time if I don’t get chosen by the end of it
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!
Awesome Video! 👏🏽
Hi Sydney. Is it helpful to be an extrovert when it comes to rad tech school and career you think? Thank you for the great videos.
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!
What do you do at work and does it help with balancing school while working? This is a program I'm interested in
What kind of community college has a x-ray tech program where it's lottery based and they randomly take names to be accepted to the program?! That is HORRIBLE! So someone who has a 4.0 average won't get in the program while the other person who has a 2.8 gets accepted just because it's randomized. That community college should be severely punished for doing that nonsense. Anyway, good video and good luck on your journey👊🏿
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.
I’m so sorry for your loss, my heart is breaking for you. I’m keeping you in prayers and thoughts. It would be good to see some videos on your study tips.
I so appreciate this video! Good luck.
Awesome
I’m doing prereqs to get into a program and am so excited! I love watching videos from people who are also in a program. Tbh, income while I’m in the program is a big concern of mine. If you’re comfy sharing, how much do you make using DoorDash? I’m in Sacramento, so also a decently sized city.
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.
I love this! I'm a prospective xray student and I just got a job working admin in a radiology clinic. I love learning about all the different modalities and getting to work alongside techs. We also get students that rotate through for their clinicals and it's so motivating! Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you for watching Elaina. ❤️ I highly suggest it the program! Let me know if you have any questions at all!
I love your honesty, and I am sorry about your lost. Be strong and God be with you!
Thanks for sharing these are very helpful tips. Let me know what topics are the most challenging, that you would like to see a video on. I noticed you mentioned kVp driving contrast. We have one for that, but want to know what are the most valuable
i recently signed up for the rad program a month ago and waiting to see if im accepted! thank you for this video this makes it seem not so scary as it is
Did you get in?
hows it going?
So glad to see you. Im glad you’re still hanging with the program. Sorry to hear you lost your mom🙏🏽Your presence was missed 🤗
Thank you Adriane! Glad to see you in the comments ❤ thanks for coming back!
I’m sorry for the loss of your mother.. I’ve been there, and I know it’s not easy especially while in school. The hospital setting is hard for me as an introvert especially with socializing with office staff. Im currently in my second semester and I’m a nervous wreck everyday!
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.
I’m also a Rad Tech student, in my second semester. Your videos are great to watch. It’s really nice to see others perspective on the program. It really is a difficult program and a lot of people do not realize that. It would be great to see a video of how you are able to deal with other personalities in the medical field. I too have struggled with this. Great video!
Hey veronique! Love your name, by the way! I'll definitely add that into my video about my first clinical experience ❤❤
Yep, you're right...my comment is gone. Let me try to remember.. I said something like "This is your life, don't be pressured to provide content for us. We're here for the ride whever you are ready. I said I was sorry to hear about your mom. I said reach out if you need help. And I commented something about going to school + getting married + a parent passing + new puppy = massive stress on the mind and body. I gently suggested that you try to withhold from adding any more stress to your life (when possible) until you finish school. You are a very strong woman and I"m super impressed and proud of your accomplishments. Hang in there. You got this.
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!
I really hate to hear that you loss your mother! I will keep you lifted from a distance.. I pray that each blessing with your name on it flow to you with ease!!💜
Thank you! That means a lot. Things have been looking up lately
I love the Howl's Moving Castle background!!!!!
Thank you! It's my all time favorite 😍
I relate so much to the reason why you started rad tech school! It's nice to go to a program where they train you for a meaningful career especially for those of us with ADHD!
What do you mean for those w adhd? How does it help you I’m v curious
