I am currently 2 months away from graduation. I began watching you when I started my program in 2020. At first a lot of what you said was a foreign language to me 😂 it’s so crazy seeing how much I’ve grown and how much I started to relate to everything you talk about. Now that I’m almost done (and super stressed for these final adjustments and my board exam) this video was a great pick me up. It showed me that everything will be okay and to just have faith in myself and my ability. These kind of videos for our career are hard to come by. Thank you for being a friend in my journey and for providing this insight to our community!

I graduated in June 2018 and ended up getting an FTE at an ortho clinic and I so agree about really not knowing everything by the end of school. I always called myself a third year student because there was still so much I had to learn. My co worker was a fresh grad as well and its just the two of us at our facility. I still feel like I’m constantly learning! So worth it though! I love what I do!

​@@radassma2681 I think RadReview was very helpful for me. I noticed that questions were worded similarly to the actual Registry. The questions themselves are also a bit more difficult, but it helps prepare you for the real thing. My program gave us a lot of mock exams to work on because most of our clinical sites were shutdown. So I think that helped a lot as well. Basically, the more exposure you have to different questions, the better. I would advise taking a mock exam and breaking down your missed questions by category to see which area you could study up more. Mosby's is a good resource, I actually got to listen to the author himself talk about the registry. He really emphasized that as long as you understand the basic concepts, you will do just fine on the registry. (which I thought was very spot on after taking the registry) Sorry for the long reply, hope this helps in some way. Best of luck! :)

Hey man this video has been super thorough and helpful for me. My biggest concern is getting hired with visible tattoos. You’re from California like me and I see you have tattoos so that’s a good sign lol. Have you heard of anyone having trouble with their tattoos while trying to get hired as an x-ray tech? Maybe bigger hospitals like Kaiser won’t allow them and smaller clinics do allow them? Thanks for the great content, subbed!🙏🏻

I did great in clinical...but class work I struggled. I had my clinical experience in Owensboro all over the city and surrounding cities. My favorite place to work would've been an outpatient clinic and I enjoyed every moment of my experience there. I moved to Lexington where I work at a large hospital for night shift and the transition was eh but now I love it with 9 months of experience!

Didn't immediately get into the program last time I applied and did another program to get more money and quicker because the other program was shorter. But I'm going to reapply to the program this upcoming season. Deadline is Dec. I want this more than ever now. 😎

It’s an exciting time for you lol Just don’t think too much. You have all the tools and knowledge IF you did your very best in the program. I got a 91. We used correct tech, practice exams on ASRT, and that yellow Lange prep q&a. When you’re studying make sure you know ‘how to get the answer’. Don’t just study the questions and answers word for word. The wording in the questions were very different from what i studied. Luckily i understood concepts and definitions in detail. So when the questions were worded different, i just had to think from a different angle. I hope that makes sense.

I would like to ask for some advice/thoughts on which are the first steps to take regarding this career and the diff ways I can go about it. This is my first research regarding this career and thank God for youtuve and all the information we can obtain here and for people like you as well that like to share their success and are not selfish like most when they reach success. I am not sure if this career is only pursued by college or if there's maybe programs or can even be a way by hospitals programs etc... please hope you read my message/comment and maybe enlightened me a bit to what could possibly be my options. Thank you in advance and blessings👍👍 and wish you the best of luck in your future!

@@XRAYREY appreciate the advice 🙏👍👍 I will definitely look into that. Since I been researching on my options regarding MRI technologist I am not sure how Tru is it that some hospitals offer programs where thousands can become certified tech ,with class room work and ton of hands on practice. How sure is that? Do you know if that's accurate? Or is there programs I could take for this career? Without having to go through college? My next step is going to my community College and speaking with an advisor or counselor but I am hesitant because I am not sure if they will only push me towards the college way and leave out any other roads that can lead me to this career. 🤔 my main point is I want to do this the fastest way possible without having to take all this extra time in college in clases or things that I won't need for this Career. I have a family already and me going back to school as it is is really going to set me back regarding money as I am the only source of income ATM so for that reason I am looking at my options for the fastest and efficient way. What would you recommend?
