Make sure the lateral sides of the breasts have lead coverage because a lot of lead vests are loose on the sides and have a lot of axilla exposure which increases breast cancer risk.
Girl thank you because this is exactly what I needed to know cuz the work life balance dynamic isn’t really spoken about in the few videos available I think I’ll just save up and go all in without worrying about lot about making extra money
Thank you for this video with a lot of info. I just finished my Associate in Arts and now considering Radiology school or Spanish literature. Your pile of index cards reminded me of my last Geography class of 8 weeks and it was intense, draining and left me like a zombie lol. So the thing for me is either help people and make good income, or follow my creativity and learn literature. I already work in a major hospital and see everything on my ER shifts, but never deal with patients since Im in the cleaning dept. It takes a seasoned person to handle working at a hospital and again your video gave me a greater insight on the program Im considering.
what i tell my students about theatre radiography Michael `s theatre II Tips 1. Take all the keys to every machine just in case yours stops working 2. Let the surgeon decide where the II comes from , where the Monitor should go, don’t assume 3. If the body part is over the steel table base, or the metal table edge, or gaps in the foam table are in the way then -solution- Move the patient. 4. Beware sandbags , can be put under hips/ chest by inexperienced theatre staff 5. Set a manual kv for extremities -so that even if you come in and are centred in the wrong place , the image will be correctly exposed. Otherwise if your going in and out, over the body part, even slight miss centering, will result in a black/ underexposed image, because it will give a fresh air exposure eg 44kv ( which would not get through a finger). Generally hand 52kv, ankle 57kv, knee/ shoulder 62k , then tweek it. I once I had a student who never centred bang in the middle once, for an ankle op . The surgeon didn`t notice. The foam table makes 2 kv difference. Some machines require the first exposure to be on the AED. 6. The ii has an obese button, which is the maximum mA output, find out where this is. If this doesn’t work and the image is black - still under exposed , the only thing you can do is try and use the Monitor brightness/contrast - this may well not work ! there`s nothing you can do !! with this machine. 7. Save all the images- make this a habit- you don’t know which operation turns out wrong, even though it seems ok at the time 8. If your doing AP and Lateral, every time you go to the other position , swap the image over on the monitors. So you always keep an AP on one side, and a Lateral on the other. This takes concentration. 9. The worst problem is obesity with osteoporosis. Obesity means the II will use a high KV eg 110kv ,so LOW contrast. The bones will be very hard to see, because they don’t have any bone in them ! If the surgeon is moaning explain this LOL I had the same problem with AP hip on a young man- biggest muscular thigh in England. 10. Expect the first image to be wrong, wrong place , wrong orientation. Move the wheels in the direction you want to go, either towards head/ foot or in/out , make it easy for yourself , move in each direction in turn, and you will get where you want to be. Small movement`s to keep control. 11. Don’t let the surgeons use the flat II surface to apply a wet Plaster of Paris, unless you cover it first with a plastic bag, or water will get into it and it will go bang ! 12. For hips / DHS cover the tube ( under the table/ hip) with a plastic bag ,so blood doesn’t get into it. 13. You can get a lateral of the humerus, femur with the patient flat ( both legs down) on the table if you come in sideways, from the opposite side, and angle 70 degrees. and the body part ( shoulder/ hip/ femur) is right over the edge of the table ( so the metal table sides are not in the way) 14. If you leave the theatre for a break ( very long case) always tell someone whose sterile ( surgeon/ scrub nurse) where you will be, just in case they suddenly need you back. 15. Only ask the surgeon a question when hes not doing something dangerous e.g. with a drill. 16. At the end of the operation get a clear answer you are finished BEFORE you remove the sterile xray cover.
Another profession to consider with high pay off is becoming a dental hygienist. Right now it is an associate degree and hygienists in my area charge can charge 70 / hr. It is a grind, and physically demanding but it’s an in demand job and your boss usually will do anything to keep you. A usual work week is M-Thurs and a lot of hygienists I know will do 3 days a week and still have extra cash to travel often or live fulfilling lives.
She already had an edge being a waitress. The key to a program like this is when you don't understand something you ask what you don't understand or to have clarified.
Hats off to you, I really want to get into my nearest program but they only accept a 60 student class every 2 years. They just accepted their most recent class this march lol. I’m gonna rack up my savings and I hope In 2 years I get accepted and have a nice enough savings to take time off work and focus primarily on studying
Video just helped me soooo much girl !! I’m late to the party but I am attempting to go from medical assistance to rad tech and before looking at it from the outside I knew it was a dedication but not that intense !! On top of me having two children to care for wow ! Its hard to work and have time let alone soooo much ! Now I’m not getting discouraged 😢😮 but I definitely need to figure things out before officially signing up for the program ! As you say timing 💗 great video
Hi I would love to know how you studied the material. Personally i am a big pen and paper person so I don't do anything digital on an ipad. However, I end up writing pages and pages of notes for one chapter and I feel like it slows me down. Do you write pages and pages of notes, or only use flash cards, or what's your process from starting a new chapter/unit? Please be as specific as possible lol thank you so much?
Currently going to school and working full time. Been thinking about becoming a rad tech.but not sure how I would be able to pull this off with my work schedule.
this is one of my hesitations as well, I will probably end up with a crappy working-every-weekend schedule but that will only work for me because my job does 12 hr shifts and I live with someone who can help pick up my slack on bills and such but...a real struggle for anyone living independently and thinking about going back to school. Not just an excuse but genuine I-don't-want-to-be-homeless worry.
thank you so much for sharing your experience thru your videos & shorts 🤍 i’m getting ready to go back to school soon & apply for radtech programs so this was super helpful ☺️
@@cwm8565 true like starting IV and when contrast is required but its different than having to poke several people constantly like nurses do especially things like immunizations which is an aspect of medicine that I personally dont like

How do you manage to work an be in a program while paying for an apartment genuinely curious I want to do that but don’t think I’ll have time to work and live on my own 😅
Thank you for this, I was taking interest in this career because I’m in my first semester of nursing school, just wanted a realistic expectation 😔, thank you ❤️.
I wish I would have known you have to go to the operating room. I totally didnt think about that when starting this. Operating room is something I HATE. lol
Currently a 2nd year rad student, my last 6 months lol I'm considering applying to OG which is how I landed on you. Watched all your tip vids, how many hours a week do you work with your school schedule?
I’ve got my gi bill so I’ve considered going back to school for this. But I’d have to quit my current job for it to work and just do something else part time. Might be worth it once I’ve got some more money saved up.
Xray program... the hardest thing I've ever accomplished... passing the test to become certified ...wooooo chil' i passed on the 1st try. And yes, ppl... we're more than button pushers. There's a crazy amount of stuff you have to learn about things you'd think you really wouldn't need to know
Look at your school/program requirements. My radiology tech program only needs Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2 with labs, English Comp 1, and Stats with a 2.7 GPA minimum
So you say you see blood and all that. Do you work with it or is it just seeing it, because I saw if I wanted to go to school for it, I’d have to take a nursing class of some sort?
No. You are working with blood during surgery. As well as modalities you go into you will see blood (nud med, Cath lab, etc) so the schooling you will see blood, but diagnostic x ray typically isn’t invasive.
Time consuming? For what degree? You need associates. Please clarify if you need more schooling. Clinical’s is like residency. I don’t get why it’s time consuming if every medical certification requires volunteer hours. Isn’t it worth it? Technicians depend on the type of test but it’s hard to learn because the terms are broken down.
Thank you so much for this. This! This is what I need to hear. I really needed these tips because everything you said is soooo relatable. I am currently TRYING to get into the RAD-tech program. May you share what did you do to get into the program?
My biggest tips are to get all of your required pre requisites for your college that you need for the program, and my BIGGEST tip is to get hospital experience. Volunteer at ur local hospital and get them to fill out a form to give to your school.
It depends how much dose you get. Your hospital informs you every month. If you ever get like an excessive amount I’m sure they meet with you and require you to get medical advice. Very rare tho.
Hello there, before I moved to United States, I worked as radiologic technician in my country. I have more than 15 years experience in the radiology field. I was trained in Hospital and Clinic, I have certificate. now I would like to attend courses to become a licensed R.T in United States. I'd like to have advice from you, what should I do?
Unfortunately, you must attend school in the Radiography program for 2 years (or 18 months) to get an Associate degree and be eligible to take the registry exam through ARRT. You can contact them to clarify your situation by going to the ARRT official site. The cheapest way to get the degree is through community colleges. But they have a waiting list, too. If you work full/part-time, ask about the reimbursement program, when the hospital pays for your school. I had a good place to work during my school years. I was full-time, but I worked only 28 hours a week. My family supported me because being a full-time student with no day off is hard. When you come home, you choose either to study because of tests every day or to go to sleep. No own life. I just passed my registry with 86 points. And all my hard work will pay back. If you like this field, go to school. It is worth it and never too late. By the way, I am 48. Good luck.
I already have a hard enough time getting my associates and this is what i wanted to do for a long term job. This sucks, im now reconsidering it. I faint if i get a cut. I cant stand blood and gore. What a let down. Oh and i have pretty bad adhd on top of that so im gonna struggle way more than you do.
@dulceefrancoo I had no idea how hard xray school was going to be before watching this. But yes I now know that this is not the right job for me. But 34% of people with disabilities in the medical field have adhd. So it is possible.
@@charlesmosley5691 Uhh yes it has, our education costs way more than it did back then with smaller ROI. People used to be able to afford school AND rent off of part time pay. Companies will expect you to work hard, be loyal and can drop you with no warning.
This was extremely helpful ✨🤌🏾 How do you personally find a work/life balance? I’ve been in a relationship for 5 years and often times with work I find it hard to create and find balance.
That’s actually so cool true learning! Getting to go to clinical and classes

what state are you from? girl I thought x ray would be easier than nursing or ultrasound school
Nope
It is easier
Are you able to become an X ray technician through trade school?
Most likely a public/community school if she is doing two full year programs.
What do you do for a job during this program?
Waitressing! Short shifts + easy money
Im having trouble with prerequisites, was wondering what prerequisites you did in order to get into that program
Same!!
Look at your school/program requirements. My radiology tech program only needs Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2 with labs, English Comp 1, and Stats with a 2.7 GPA minimum
All programs / states have different pre-reqs. I'd check the college that you want to go to.
How do you find time to work and be in the program
Have you converted your notes into quizlet 👀??
So it's been a year, do you enjoy it or you do you hate it?
Awesome ❤
Did you only use rad tech book camp for study for the board ? Or did you use other things .
Did you study the questions in the learning lessons too ?
I haven’t taken my boards yet but I hear that is good to use!
So you say you see blood and all that. Do you work with it or is it just seeing it, because I saw if I wanted to go to school for it, I’d have to take a nursing class of some sort?
No. You are working with blood during surgery. As well as modalities you go into you will see blood (nud med, Cath lab, etc) so the schooling you will see blood, but diagnostic x ray typically isn’t invasive.
do you live on your own while in school ? that's what im worried about

Hello there,
before I moved to United States, I worked as radiologic technician in my country.
I have more than 15 years experience in the radiology field.
I was trained in Hospital and Clinic,
I have certificate.
now I would like to attend courses to become a licensed R.T in United States.
I'd like to have advice from you, what should I do?
Unfortunately, you must attend school in the Radiography program for 2 years (or 18 months) to get an Associate degree and be eligible to take the registry exam through ARRT. You can contact them to clarify your situation by going to the ARRT official site.
The cheapest way to get the degree is through community colleges. But they have a waiting list, too.

In 2021 I need it to get to school. It was mandatory. Check your school first.

It’s like that with nursing as well.
Gen Z’s are not used to working hard.

@@dimitrithomas1105fr they acting like a bag of chips aint 5 dollars nowadays…
@@lexisdemise2129 True, but hard work and education has not changed .
@@charlesmosley5691 Uhh yes it has, our education costs way more than it did back then with smaller ROI. People used to be able to afford school AND rent off of part time pay. Companies will expect you to work hard, be loyal and can drop you with no warning.
This was extremely helpful ✨🤌🏾 How do you personally find a work/life balance? I’ve been in a relationship for 5 years and often times with work I find it hard to create and find balance.
Do you work full or part time?
Part time!
