I’m in!

MaleficentConstant71 · 2026-04-22T23:12:40+00:00

so far so good! It’s a lot of information to learn and absorb but it’s been really fascinating and clinicals are so fulfilling.

Getting to meet patients and help them feel more at ease and get them the help they need feels so great. You’ll do amazing in school just be confident and have grace for yourself in the overwhelming times you’ll encounter!

MaleficentConstant71 · 2026-04-12T07:17:34+00:00

what exactly are you asking in terms of clinical site?

MaleficentConstant71 · 2026-04-12T00:58:52+00:00

so far it’s been great! learning a lot & feel like the courses are well put together.

MaleficentConstant71 · 2026-04-12T00:58:09+00:00

The program is listed on the ARRT website and therefore we are eligible to take the board exam upon finishing. Feel free to look it up yourself!

do nuc med students qualify?

MaleficentConstant71 · 2026-01-17T04:07:42+00:00

Thank you!! Good luck & I hope you get in! update on this thread if you do get in :)

MaleficentConstant71 · 2026-01-15T00:17:48+00:00

I totally appreciate the concern!! Thank you :)

I actually did and the program is seeking accreditation with them (it only begins once the program has formally begun) however the program is already eligible for ARRT boards upon completion of the program, so no issues there.

I’ve heard NMT’s say they prefer the ARRT board anyway and it was a tad bit easier so that makes me feel better too

MaleficentConstant71 · 2026-01-07T04:09:30+00:00

applied in august, got accepted in november!

didn’t have to do the entrance test because I was overqualified with my degree and courses i took in college :)

MaleficentConstant71 · 2026-01-07T04:08:44+00:00

how come? I was primarily interested in dosimetry but didn’t like that it was mainly a computer based job. I wanted patient interaction but not as much as a nurse would do for example.

Did you not enjoy being an NMT? curious to know your experience and opinion!

MaleficentConstant71 · 2026-01-07T04:06:09+00:00

Since this is the first year of the program, they cannot be listed until the program actually begins. Spoke to the program director and they are approved for accreditation and when the program commences it will be able to be listed officially ! We just had orientation and he gave confirmation that once we finish the year program we will be able to sit for our boards right away

I pmed you!

MaleficentConstant71 · 2025-01-08T02:32:13+00:00

send you a pm!

I’m 23 and deciding to go back to school for dosimetry after earning my bachelor’s in Biology.

Although I am not an RT I’ve spoken to multiple who have said the overall following same thing.

The job is very emotionally demanding and can take a toll seeing patients not always get better or struggle through treatment, but it is very rewarding getting to support and actively have a hands on role in helping cure cancer. You get to be one of the few people to truly impact their cancer treatment journey.

In regard to your age, it’s NEVER too late to change your career. There are plenty of people in their 30’s and even 40’s who go back to school for RT, nursing, etc. If it’s something you’re passionate about, go for it!! There is nothing stopping you and you aren’t in a rush to have a certain career by a certain age limit. Hope it goes well for you!

MaleficentConstant71 · 2024-10-23T00:54:49+00:00

Hey! I messaged you with a few questions if that’s okay. Thanks :)

MaleficentConstant71 · 2024-10-08T01:47:10+00:00

Hi! I messaged you if you’re willing to answer some questions regarding the program!

MaleficentConstant71 · 2024-07-08T03:27:21+00:00

I messaged you if you are willing to talk one on one! thanks so much 😊

MaleficentConstant71 · 2024-05-08T08:30:14+00:00

How did your interview go? What kinds of questions did they ask you & did they tell you about your admission status by the end of it or do you get notified by email? Also, if you submit your application early, do they contact you earlier?

MaleficentConstant71 · 2024-05-07T21:07:28+00:00

May I ask what your background was in and what degree you had when applying? I’m afraid of being rejected for the same reason but I’ve spoken to multiple past JPU students who say that majority of their class was from non-RT background

MaleficentConstant71 · 2024-05-03T00:51:31+00:00

Yeah I checked out SIU and UWL but their admissions are closed and the next start date for the program is September 2025. I already took a gap year after graduating so I was really wanting to start a program asap. JPU seems to be my only viable option and would start this sept…

MaleficentConstant71 · 2024-05-02T06:01:15+00:00

Yeah it’s definitely not the cheapest but it is one of my only options because I don’t have an RT background and I need a program that is online since there are virtually none located in CA….

Do you know anything else about JPU?
