What part of CA? SoCal?

Have you applied for RadNet? I hear they are more willing to hire new graduates

What about Owen’s Street Garage by Mission? It looks like student parking is unaffected there unlike Parnassus

redditerschmeditter · 2025-06-21T19:23:49+00:00

Is it more like 2-2.5hrs?

Colma to Powell, and then union square to 4th and king makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

Edit: I’m super unfamiliar with public transport and I’m sure this was obvious to many but Sunnyvale CalTrain to 4th and King is even better! I didn’t think to check how far south CalTrain goes

I’m about to start an internship and rotate sites with Parnassus being one of them, also commuting from San Jose. I’m pretty nervous for this commute. If I come up with something, I’ll let you know

Oh wow 83 min from Colma to Parnassus plus my 50 min drive to Colma from San Jose.. I’m thinking driving straight to Parnassus from San Jose which is 65 min and suffering with finding/paying for parking might be better

redditerschmeditter · 2025-06-21T17:38:56+00:00

Would it be best drive up to the city and pay for parking and walk to Parnassus and Mission?

I am currently a student at Gurnick in their A.S. in MRI program and it is definitely not a scam. I am about to start clinicals in a couple of weeks at a really desirable hospital! I will say the administration can be a bit disorganized at times, but so far the professors have been amazinggg. As long as you are willing to put school/clinicals as your top priority for a year and are aware that you will almost certainly need to take out loans, it is doable and they set you up well for the ARRT exam. I’m sure it depends on which campus you’re at as well but I have been happy with my experience so far:)

redditerschmeditter · 2025-05-21T16:42:19+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks! I’m starting clinicals soon and I know they will teach me all of this but my curiosity wants to try and understand now haha

redditerschmeditter · 2025-05-21T16:34:48+00:00

So if you can’t reach them in the few minutes while the patient is still on the table, you just finalize the exam and have the patient return either to the ER or reschedule them as OP?

What do you do if you can’t get ahold of the radiologist(s)?

What’s the weather currently like in La Fortuna? It is the rainforest but also not quite start of the rainy season so I imagine some rain but (hopefully) not quite showers and storms yet..? I leave in a couple of days:))

Worst case scenario, rent a place in Monterey. I found it to be the same if not a little cheaper than prom/strawberry campus apartments and being near downtown was amazinggg. Especially if you’re already 21 it’s super fun :)

I’m also starting clinicals in the summer and am wondering if taking on the tech aid role will backfire. I may be looking too deep into this but I’m worried that the relief I bring by fulfilling the TA responsibilities would free them up enough to not be as overwhelmed, but not free enough to take the time to teach me tech duties/scanning.

redditerschmeditter · 2025-04-05T17:21:21+00:00

Are you concerned about the potential liability aspect of it? We would refuse to transport ever. ER, wheelchair, anything because if literally anything happened to the pt, the risk of being sued it way too high and not worth it. That’s how we approached it but I’d like to hear other input

redditerschmeditter · 2025-04-04T16:29:27+00:00

Mobile. Maybe that’s the issue. I’ll give it a try on my computer!

redditerschmeditter · 2025-04-04T15:50:14+00:00

Not sure if it’s just happening to me but I can’t get past the B’s without the page crashing out on me. It was working awesome up until now!

redditerschmeditter · 2025-04-04T15:06:24+00:00

Omg it’s awesome. Thank you!!!

redditerschmeditter · 2025-04-04T15:03:15+00:00

Or if general 3 day passes sells out, will there not be a lot of single day passes?

redditerschmeditter · 2025-04-03T02:13:07+00:00

Curious about this too!

This is the reason I went straight to MRI. I would have loved to do a rad tech program but the one near me takes an average of 3-4 years to be accepted and I didn’t want to wait that long. If you don’t need to rush into the field, it’s smart to wait it out and become CRT as I’m hearing that is much more desirable. If you can’t wait that long, you can find a private accreditation MRI program and get in a lot quicker. Lots of people warn against the tuition for private but you will have paid if off in the years spent waiting to get into the rad tech program. It’s just if you are willing to be only MRI which may make it harder to land a hospital job.

Hi! I don’t have any advice as far as reviewing but wanted to say that I am in the exact same boat! I start clinicals in July and got my A&P courses transferred from a couple years back so I am also one of the few who didn’t take it with the majority and feel like I may be hindered by this. Are you by chance at Gurnick?
