That's so great! Congratulations and I hope the rest of your program goes well :)

Is that 24 month including college to get the associates or just the mri parts it’s self?

Any study tips? 😁

Was that for associate degree or the certification ig ?

Thanks for this.

Really do appreciate it, haven't decided on this from dropping my computer science degree, but it's good to hear that there's possible jobs in this after other people on reddit said the opposite.

Thanks so much

Hey! just a question since i've been hearing about it. Do you usually experience burnout from working?

Is radiology tech school hard?

thank you, Tatiana! yesss there are SO many nursing videos! I really wish there were more people in any of the imaging modalities who made videos! ☺️

Thats true we need more videos like this! My channel is about MRI

maybe just maybe nursing has more time on their hands than we do in DI.

@@JuliaKristine just out of curiosity, I have no experience in the medical field at all whatsoever. But is the xray tech imaging school a trade? Or certificate program? And there isn't Sat or Act test required for it right? Just high school diploma? Or GED?

You will likely need to have an ACT score and high school diploma to apply to most colleges, but you will have to research that for your specific school. There are radiologic technology programs offered at four-year universities for a bachelor's degree, or a two-year degree at community college's (which is what I am pursuing) for an associates in applied science degree.

I loved interior design so much in high school! I think that would be such a cool career field to be in!

I couldn't believe how there were hardly any videos like this on youtube!

I'm really glad it was helpful!

I’m glad it was helpful! Best of luck to you with your schooling :)

I'm so happy to hear this!

ahhh I'm SO excited for you! best of luck! you'll do great :)

I’m so glad it was helpful!

good luck!!! :)

congratulations! ☺️

Where you start

that's so exciting!

Ahhh congratulations! That’s so exciting! Thank you ☺️

Congratulations! 🫶🏼😊

ahhh yay! that makes me so excited to hear! if you ever have any questions, I'm always here :)

I'm so glad it was helpful!

aw I'm so glad! Best of luck to you!

Wishing you luck! 💕

That's very exciting! Congratulations & good luck :)

It's really cool following in their footsteps because all of my instructors, one of the radiologists, & some of the techs know my parents! I'm definitely my parent's little shadow 😂☺️

That means so much to me!!! Thank you! 💕

That's so amazing! Best of luck to you too :)

I'm so glad!!!

Sooo glad you liked it! AHH thank you! That means so much to me, but I definitely do my fair share of procrastinating too!

That's a really amazing option!

Do you still recommend the field?😇

focus on MRI more

that's so so exciting! congratulations!

How’d it go?! I’m applying to the program at lone star north Harris

Thank you!!

It's crazy how there aren't really any other youtubers that are going into RT! When my supervising tech started moving the c-arm, the surgeon said "Um what are you doing? She's doing this" & looked me dead in the eyes & pointed at me 😂💩 BUT it went really well & was such a cool experience - still SUPER intimidating though!

There are not much. There is an Erica and April Butcher also into x-ray's

twinklinglena is a resident in radiologist

Raya Juliana That’s awesome! ☺️ however, I’m studying to be a radiologic technologist, not a Radiologist - nevertheless, still very cool! I will definitely check out her content

Congrats!

Ahhh I hope so too! That would be so cool!

YAY I'm so happy that you liked it! HAHA girl, you are a PRO now!

Savannah Abraytis why are BEs sick?

congratulations! In my personal experience, the second semester was the hardest for me because of the complexity of the exams we were learning & I had an extra online class! best of luck to you in your program!

Is your program hard? Did you pass

Awh Steph, I truly appreciate it so much that you watched even though you're not even going into the field! You're seriously the truest friend! 💕 I definitely try to pretend I'm organized, but don't let it fool you 😂

@@JuliaKristine Aweh I am so glad :) This just made my day, anytime girl! You are the greatest 💕HAHA, well you totally fool me 😂

I'm so sorry to hear that! But thank you so much, & best of luck to you!

@@JuliaKristine this career dont affect your health.

Current FA and aspiring to leave this industry. Awesome to see others looking as well! Hope you found something that works for you 🙌🏼

so glad it was helpful!

Congratulations! That's so exciting. Thank you!

Robert O were u able to find a good full time job?

I considered nursing at one point! it's an amazing career! thank you, Silah!

I'm so glad you benefited from it!!

This video is older so there are tons up on my channel! Congratulations on starting your program & best of luck! 💛

Julia Kristine Thanks so much! I really plan on doing a KZfaq channel also to talk about my program because there’s SO many types and many different courses, and there is barely Rad tech videos out to inform people so thank you ! ☺️ Also, best luck to you in everything 💀

Casandra Barrios You definitely should! ☺️

Hey cassandra, how has your journey to becoming a rad tech been??

Super interesting to hear how your program varies from mine! Thank you so much for watching, & I'm so glad you found it helpful :) good luck with your application!

I'm also in colorado which school did you apply to?

Soumaya Sammie I applied to Memorial Hospitals School of Radiology (:

how was your interview ? may I ask what the questions were, because I have my interview in a week

Ohmar I just found out that I have been accepted! But they asked me a lot of behavioral based questions. Like why I want to be in this program, how I prioritize tasks, what type of people or personalities do I find hard to work with, what I think my greatest and weakest traits are, why I think I deserve a spot more than the other candidates, and they asked about any healthcare experience or volunteer experience

ahhh congratulations! That's so exciting - you will do great :)

Mgomezz17 how long was you wait time?

Hey same here! I’m graduating with exercise science but decided pt wasn’t for me! Going to RT school in the fall!

How's it going I'm doing the same thing next spring

I'm currently studying economics but the career as a rad tech caught my attention recently. That's the first comment that i could relate to :) i'd be very thankful if you share your experience❤️

No, you will not have to stop working altogether

wishing you the best of luck! ☺️

Julia Kristine thank you so much ,love you’re videossss🤩❤️

Im stuck in between going to the army like you did or just do community college to become x ray tech. Was it more difficult since they’re cramming in more material in a shorter period of time? Did you have to do the same pre requisites?

@@Soychica13 this is late and a little different than your question. I was in the air force and became an ultrasound technician rather than mri/xray I would definitely have chosen radiology in the air force if I could go back though haha But I liked having the hands on experience the job gives through the military. Tech school was definitely tough because we had to learn so much so fast, but I definitely found it to be worth it. I like having the military experience background and I was able to immediately get a job working for the VA even before getting registered, since they knew me and knew that I could do the job already. Really depends on what path you want to take though. Army is probably a good bit different than air force and physically also, you definitely have to be even more fit. (If thats a concern for you)

@@bethanyrose9026 Hey Bethany, I have a quick question for you if you could answer for me. When you were signing up for the Air Force did you tell the recruiter the specific MOS you wanted, or did you get diagnostic imaging through an open contract?

​@@Texx_OGNever go open. You'll never get the job you want.

You will do great! Good luck!

Aww..thanks so much..

How are you doing now?

The college that I go doesn’t says that I have to take chemistry and physics.

English 101 is low shouldnt it be up to english 170?

Robertson Thirdly i really wanna do rad but my parens are against it :( so idk what i wanna be they assume the raditation will hit me back isnt that crazy? Or maybe over protective?

Damn where you going Harvard

Khy fucking dead 💀 lmao

That's awesome that you found a path for you! You'll be a great teacher!

I toured Argosy way back when for sonography! Congrats on getting accepted!!

Thank you very much!

thank you for commenting this!

awww yay! That is so exciting! I'm always here if she has any questions! ☺️

@@JuliaKristine My brother is wanting to start this fall semester taking x-ray classes.

Hi Haley! I mentioned in this video that I did not have an interview process as my program was solely based on grades. My advice for an interview would be to go into it as if it's an actual job interview. Possibly look up nursing school interview questions to prepare because they may be similar! I'm unsure if it's necessary to bring a resume, but it wouldn't hurt! Best of luck!

that's really interesting that you have to be a CNA/medical assistant first!

aw you're so sweet!!!

Your radiation dosage is monitored by a dosimeter that you wear at your collar at all times, and we take precautions to protect ourselves by wearing lead aprons if we're going to be directly in the room or in fluoroscopy/surgery with the c-arm. But to answer your question, yes it is a safe profession.

that is such a cool opportunity! congratulations & best of luck! :)

@@JuliaKristine I love your tips and videos I'm prepping now and getting some compression sleeves and all the study stuff 😂 love following your journey, thanks for sharing you experiences 🙏
