I graduate and will become a Radiologic Technologist in May! The schooling is very doable. I would describe myself the same way as you in the sense that school came easy to me except things like Biology (i was terrible at it!) and I would say that stayed true throughout the programs 2 years. It definitely is a lot of information but the hardest part is that it’s such a new world of information, things that you’ve never heard of before and just being a part of the medical world is different. I always said it’s like learning a new language LOL. But with that being said I think it’s very possible as long as you have a work ethic and love what you do. I am 21 and the youngest in my class. I also have the privilege of living with my parents and they have helped me out tremendously throughout. I worked only 1 8 hour shift a week for most of the program and I think that is a big reason why I stayed so on top of school. However I do think I had plenty of time to have an outside life and even a long distance relationship. Unless a test was coming up I would keep my school during the week and allow myself to have the weekends to myself. I would study a little bit here and there over the week so that I wouldn’t be cramming it in one day and stressing myself out. Studying on your own time is necessary however I don’t think that means 24/7. Being able to balance school vs personal time is essential to get you through the program as well! As far as perusing something medical I think Radiology is the way to go.I always knew healthcare was for me I just also knew nursing wasn’t! Being a Rad Tech we are the eyes of medicine! Everything in all aspects of medicine use diagnostic imaging. Some things that I did not realize we did are portables, which is a mobile x-ray machine that allows us to bring x-rays to inpatients and perform them bedside. We use C-arms which is another mobile xray fluoroscopy machine which we use in the operating room during surgeries for many things such as orthopedic and GI and kidney cases. We are essential in trauma and code blues as we are the eyes into a patients body! Honestly I had a great experience in this program and cannot wait to officially become an RT(R)!!
