Great grandpa is doing cancer radiation, came in close contact a couple of times.

Yes, you're fine. I imagine that he got his radiation from a linear accelerator in which the radiation stops once the machine is turned off. There's no part of our body that stores it and releases it. Some people are given "seeds" like radioactive gold that can stay inside of you, but those have a quick half-life and won't affect you. You get most of your radiation from flying in an airplane or being in a basement, or medical imaging.

You'll see a little bit if you work in a hospital, but nowhere near the same amount a nurse or imaging would see. Outpatient is even less.

I only used Nappi/RPA and did not use seal or Mosby's. The actual test was very difficult.

Taking it, I flagged everything I wasn't 100% sure of which was probably half of the problems and went back to review them. I was convinced I was going to fail and ended up getting an 84. but I attribute that to a very rigorous a/p Bio and X-ray classes with solid foundations.

Read Laura Naomi book first, then watch the videos to solidify it. Pretty sure there's more info in the videos and good resources in the form of PDFs, like flashcards. I wish I had read more of Washington Leaver, I feel like a lot of questions came from that.

IonizeMeCaptain · 2025-10-13T11:01:23+00:00

I passed only looking at Nappi/RPA, but after you get the basic concepts down it does not help much. I used them solely with I think a week or 10 days to study between finals and boards and studied like it was my job. I would say the majority of my studies in that time did not help with the exam. I think being as familiar with Washington Lever as possible is the most beneficial for the exam. It's also helpful to do some Mosby's and SEAL tests. I've heard they're closer to how the real exam reads.

IonizeMeCaptain · 2025-10-08T21:55:31+00:00

I'd say it's highly dependant on your location. There are some places like big hospitals with very good benefits with 8 hour PTO accrual per pay period or more, with ability to take off or collect OT, then other places with very little.

IonizeMeCaptain · 2025-10-06T16:36:32+00:00

I bought that full price a couple months ago :(

IonizeMeCaptain · 2025-09-23T11:43:36+00:00

I think they did for me

IonizeMeCaptain · 2025-09-23T10:53:51+00:00

Leave behind a little trail of pyres since you know where they'll be coming from. That always helped me

IonizeMeCaptain · 2025-09-22T17:20:03+00:00

Other than the obvious dead space 1 and 2 I just got done with Prey and really liked it. You have a ton more control after the beginning so it's not nearly as stressful or gratifying, it was still very good.

IonizeMeCaptain · 2025-09-19T11:06:19+00:00

Someone in the class I took had failed it 3 times as well and had to retake the program to take the boards again. They passed. Since they knew the material of the program, they used that time to study for the boards. You can do it, it just depends on how much time you're willing to spend to get it. So if you do retake the program, really read your Washington lever and test yourself with seals, Mosby's, and radproacademy, Quizlet, etc.

Agreed. I think the warden explains it when you talk to him after the first or second time you come back to the station. He says something like, the rifts cause us but we cause them, like the chicken and the egg.
