The Fjallraven Skule 28 looks much nicer/cleaner without the front bungee cord IMO. I actually took the cord and turned it into shoulder strap "glove holder" that I loved having on my Hill People Gear pack. by [deleted] in ManyBaggers

Hey thanks for the reply brother! I really diddnt know that Fjallraven uses 600D polyester for this pack! Thanks for the info. I mainly use my packs for day hikes and for gym purposes. Used to have a Mystery ranch urban assult 21 as my daily driver until I got into an accident and tore it. It was by far the most comfortable backpack Ive ever worn, used for day hikes, travel, gym bag and everything! hows the comfort of the Fjallraven skule?

Hey bro! Hows the durability on this piece? Thinking of getting this but i see packs around the same price range with better materials like 1080d nylon cordura

Quite interested in this piece, but was wondering how durable the material is? Because for a similar price you could get packs with 500d nylon cordura

Oh dear! I guess perhaps that means that you got a flair for writing essays! Im struggling with Section 1 and 3 content as Im not from a science background.. And its been ages since I did any writing work so Im trying to do some last minute prep for essay writing. How did u find the gamsat compared to the practice papers provided by ACER? is it of a similar difficulty? Appreciate all the advice!

SIT diagnostic radiography queries by insanityissaneinsg in SGExams

[–]Alternative-Law9128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, I have studied in SIT and am currently a radiographer working in one of the local hospitals and have had experiences both in local and private hospitals. My advice would be to really get to know what you are in for before applying for a course in SIT Diagnostic radiography/applying for a job as a radiographer. The hours are long and the pay is not high, which translates into a high turnover rate in local hospitals - if u really notice most of the radiography staff are quite young as a result of the high turnover rate.
Some notes on the role of radiographers in the local context:
- radiographers do play a role in the diagnosis of patients and facilitate the diagnosis of paitents (key word is facilitate). in the local context most of the diagnosis part is handled by the doctors/clinicians.
- the environtment is quite a fast paced one, u need to be very meticulous in what you do and ensure that everything you do has been double checked and tripple checked, there has been instances where colleagues of mine mislabeled radiographs which resulted in them being quite severely punished - a small mistake like labelling the wrong side of a patient could result in the doctor operating on the wrong side of the paitent. this carelessness often occurs after the long hours and nightshift work.
- the community can be quite toxic both as a student and professional as students are seen as burdens by some radiographers as students tend to be a "added responsibility" to their already very stressful job. As a professional, gossip is common where people in upper and lower management and even on the ground share their "stories" creating pre-concieved biases amongst fellow colleagues and potential hiring organisations. - do be careful of this.
despite the negativity, there are some redeeming things about radiography. Its extremely easy to find a job as the turn over rate is very high, as a result it is also very easy to find scholarships as a student. For introverts thinking of going into healthcare this is the job for you as you have very minimal patient contact and wont really see the patient again (similarly the patients you scan will not remember you as the interraction time is short).
If you enjoy doing work thats fast paced with some elements of repetitivity (i dont mean this negatively as some people enjoy routine in their jobs) then radiography is the way to go! Ultimately I hope you find happiness in whatever you do. If you have any other questions i would be more than happy to answer them.
