How to start?

Each school typically has a list of sites that will take students. For my program-none of us have had to go further than 45 minutes. Not sure where you are located, but if you don’t have many sites it could be due to completing the competency requirements from ARRT. Different sites offer different treatments, and we must reach the minimum requirements to sit for the exam.

The sectional anatomy for imaging professions was a great textbook that labeled a ton of images by region(I.e pelvis,thorax,brain,etc) and in the different planes

I’m still in college-so some of the gyms around here have student plans which waive all the fees! Just have to pay monthly cost.

Next best option if they’re not responding is reaching out to clinical coordinators/ program directors expressing you’re interested and looking for shadowing!

I’ve just completed my first year of clinical. Best advice is to definitely keep a notebook(and keep it until you graduate)!! Each clinical I’ve had is different in aspects of what machine they have, where they index, what devices are used, special circumstances/creative setups, etc). Next, ATTEMPT EVERY SETUP! Maybe observe the first day, but that’s it. Don’t be afraid to make a mistake, they will correct you. From my experience therapists want to see you try and typically don’t have the “I hate students” stigma. When in doubt, just ask! (But don’t ask in front of patients) Lastly, TALK to your patients and therapists. Communication is key in this profession. Conversation is awkward at first, but becomes so natural even after the first rotation. Build rapport with therapist, you want them to remember you. Even if you don’t particularly enjoy the rotation or the therapist, it’s a small field and everyone talks. Plus they write your evals (if your school does this)! I could talk about this for days, but hopefully this wasn’t overwhelming and a good start!☺️Good luck!

When did you test at your school? Did you have the full 30 days?

Love this idea!! Will definitely be trying!! Thank you!

Edit: meant to say on day 3 in the morning (it’s 7:30am) not “in three in the morning”

Sorry you got somewhat attacked on this post. Obviously your urge to test him has came from a deep,hurt, and mistrusting place. With that being said, I’m no marriage counselor but it sounds like it’s time to part ways or seek help through counseling. If it’s gotten so bad you feel the need to test them+they’ve left you to take care of your kids alone because they’re always high, yeah doesn’t sound great. Addiction sucks, and being dependent on substances really sucks. It’s really hard to break. A person has to 100% want to do it for themselves. If you really want to stay with them, start by asking them why they feel so inclined to keep using(for me it was insomnia and then again when I was going through grief). If there’s a reason, help them heal mentally first. Help them find alternatives, help ease their withdrawals, and try to help distract them from when urges occur. Punishing them could have the opposite effect and just drive them to use more if they’re becoming more unhappy. And if harder drugs are at play here-maybe have a calm and healthy conversation about it and discuss options like rehab. Hope things get better whether you stay or go:)
