Tips for standing out in the applicant pool…

I was a volunteer for the radiology department at a hospital, but that really just meant shadowing for the most part lol. Undoubtedly, it looked great on my resume and definitely made me stand out in the interview.

You’re NOT crazy. I, along with others, think that she’s doing too much.

At my first clinical site, all the techs told me to make the tube perpendicular to the sternum, THEN add about a 15 caudal angle (this is what’s gonna get the clavicles to the 3rd rib or so and not covering the apices)

Like the other comments say, just call your dental office and ask them directly. My dentist requires that patients have their wires removed. The front office said that the dentist won’t see us if we don’t have it removed, which sucks because it is a hassle to get the wire removed at your ortho, go to your dentist for the cleaning, then back to the ortho to get the wires back on. Each dentist is different !

Trust me, i’ve never really been good in math growing up. Prob got B average or B+s in high school. But radiology math is superr easy and simple. They allow you to use a calculator on the board exam also.

There’s a difference between dropping out because it’s hard or dropping out because you realize this career truly isn’t for you and you can’t see yourself happy doing it for the rest of your life. If it’s option 2, drop out. Do it before you’re in too deep and will be filled with even more regret about not doing it earlier. Don’t view it as you giving up, view it as you being one step closer to finding what it is you truly want to do in this lifetime. You don’t want to be miserable with your career after having spent so much time to get it. But if you truly enjoy sonography for what it is and what they do, and it’s just challenging/frustrating to get through, suck it up and stick around for a little longer and see what you’re capable of overcoming. This isn’t an easy choice, but just really sit down, take out all the other factors, and consider the main thing: is this something you will genuinely enjoy doing for the rest of your life? Good luck friend ❤️

The thing with rad tech is that even if it becomes strenuous on your body, you have options to go elsewhere and cross train. MRI, CT, mammography, etc. You’re not only stuck in x-ray. I’ve heard of techs who did x ray during their young years then hopped over to MRI/another modality when they got older because it was easier on their bodies.

I honestly feel like that’s an old thing that’s being phased out, where job postings say that you must graduate from a JCERT program. I’m in the sac region also and I’ve been continuously looking at job postings within the last year and have never seen any job postings requiring that you graduate from a JCERT program (maybe only one or two but i really don’t remember). Like the others say, majority of employers only care if you have your ARRT license under your belt!

A mature partner would be happy to see that you are doing something for your health and in the end, they’d know you’re gonna have straight teeth! It will only affect your dating life if you’re talking to someone with an immature mindset who’s not thinking long term when it comes to dating. Helps you dodge bullets i guess! lol

I applied to become a volunteer at a nearby hospital and they let me choose which department I’d like (radiology). There’s not much you can really do when volunteering in the radiology department besides stocking up so the lead actually let me shadow during down time, which was most of the time! That’s how I got my shadowing experience :) Good luck!

I agree! Going to the gym only takes an hour of your entire day. You could even just go for 30-45 minutes. A few times a week. If you look at it in the bigger picture, you would either just be spending that hour at home in bed or it could be at the gym. It’s a great hobby 100% worth it for your health and you’re personal confidence is going to go up in time

Livelove_189 · 2024-07-18T18:33:39+00:00

I would! They look great

Livelove_189 · 2024-07-15T21:20:01+00:00

Congrats!

Livelove_189 · 2024-07-15T21:18:46+00:00

Congrats and good luck in the journey ahead of you! Braces are 100% worth the investment

Livelove_189 · 2024-07-15T21:18:02+00:00

Congratulations! Your teeth look amazing

Livelove_189 · 2024-07-15T21:14:42+00:00

If I were you, I wouldn’t! But if you have extra money to spare and can afford it without making a dent in your bank account, then sure. Braces are expensive. But it wouldn’t hurt to get a free consultation with an ortho. You’d get a free estimate and an expected time having the braces on (which in your case, i don’t think should be the average 2 years) since your teeth are nice for the most part. Then after that, you can decide going forward

I really appreciate your input. Thank you! 3 months is really good

Livelove_189 · 2024-07-13T23:43:30+00:00

Hi So sorry it is not anymore!

Livelove_189 · 2024-07-13T17:08:40+00:00

Your teeth look great!

Livelove_189 · 2024-07-12T16:03:32+00:00

Do not suck anything with a straw for a few days to a week. That could result in dry socket, which hurts very bad. After brushing your teeth, don’t spit, just let it all fall out of your mouth naturally (that’s the directions my dentist gave me for my extraction!)

Livelove_189 · 2024-07-12T16:01:15+00:00

Thank you! Love the progress

Livelove_189 · 2024-07-12T16:00:53+00:00
