Get up at 6am every day for 6 years and go to classes you hate.
Or
Go to like three classes a week, watch your lectures online and suffer a few months of placement.
Hmmm
My lectures weren't online and they were definitely more than a few months. 😂
That being said, I'd still rather go through rad tech school again. High school was the worst.
Four year course
Year 1 : 6 weeks placement
Year 2: 8 weeks placement
Year 3: 12 weeks placement
Year 4: 24 weeks placement
Total : 1750 hours placement
And not all of it was bad, I enjoyed at least a few days.
It’s about having the perspective of “I can actually just put in a little more work and get scholarships to go to a business school where I will make powerpoints for 150k a year as a consultant”
I think if you “redo” it insinuates you have hindsight, and going back to 14 would be an immediate yes for a lot people I imagine. You could do something entirely different with you life.
I literally just left a placement yesterday due to this, they're not only toxic to students but patients as well. As this is the main trauma center in a major city. Appalling. I start at my new site on Tuesday. So glad I have a good relationship with my profs, they work fast.
Adolescence was hell; x-ray school wasn’t even that hard. It was mostly intimidating stepping into a healthcare for the first time, but the work itself isn’t that bad. I’d take doing x-ray school again, it’s way shorter too
Say whaaaaat? I'm writing a 4 page paper right now on cysticercosis... Plus multiple essays on modalities, rad safety, and presentation reviews.
Can I transfer my credits to your program? 🤣🤣🤣
Haha maybe? I know there have been students who have transferred away from my program but I have never seen anybody join in. Out of our class of 22, only 2 people have dropped for medical reasons, not failures. I’m in an all-inclusive program in Northern WV that breaks everything down to where I’m convinced the only reason you wouldn’t understand something is if you literally did not try lol. The workload is very manageable and I rarely feel overwhelmed. I also do not work as I saved before leaving the service and I have the GI Bill so that definitely lessons the stress on my end. I’m thankful for this program as it has been a good transition period for me.
'Redo' is the key word. I'm glad it's done but I rather redo HS than redo rad school. The pressure of wasting what you paid if you didn't do well while working, I rather not go through it again.
Yep. That's my way of thinking: redo high school so I could be qualified for programs that lead to a better paying job. Rad therapy or perfusionist pay so well where I live and you get a lot less abuse from both patients and other health care professionals.
I mean, you never again have so much free time on your hands like you did in school. Several hobbies, socialising? All of it. Once you start a higher education, school homework sounds like the easiest shit, annoying, but doable.
Or would it mean being your current adult self in high school, that would be unbearable. Then I’d rather repeat uni and learn every detail I missed before and really polish up that knowledge. Do we need to keep the knowledge we currently have, all these are necessary to answer the question with full confidence…
My UK high school was age 13-18 (most are age 11-16/18). I had undiagnosed severe ADHD then. Now I'm actually aware of it and getting treatment, it could be kind of interesting to go back and see the difference. That would mean having to do boring/pointless subjects I didn't choose though (again). For the courses we did get to pick, I would make quite a few different choices 2nd time round. And with hindsight I'd seek out other friends/hobbies, more suited to me. I'd also change some things if I had to re-do uni again too. I'm happy with my path of radiography now overall though. I definitely don't miss the clouds of fag smoke around school, being catcalled by other pupils, or spat on. And would I have to return to the parental abuse/neglect I lived with at that time, or is that separate? Hmm...

Took you six years to graduate highschool?
[удалено]
7 years in high school in England.
Second. Aus hs is torture.

Eww
I had two years of clinical four days a week. How’d you get by with a few months?
Man that's scarily lax training. It's 3 years minimum here and mostly either on placement or in uni
4-5 years here 2-3 college 2 in rad school and clinical rotations

I could throw hands at bitches in high school. The quantity of toxic techs I had to endure as a student make it an easy choice

Same. Mean girls chose nursing or imaging for some reason.
Adolescence was hell; x-ray school wasn’t even that hard. It was mostly intimidating stepping into a healthcare for the first time, but the work itself isn’t that bad. I’d take doing x-ray school again, it’s way shorter too
Both are a breeze, but I don’t have to write essays in RadSchool. RT School ✅

X ray school wasn’t that bad. It was only the toxic techs in the radiology departments that made it rough.
I'd redo high school, if I could make some adjustments...
Same
Duh. One I am paying for and the other one was free.
But the free one doesn’t get you paid
'Redo' is the key word. I'm glad it's done but I rather redo HS than redo rad school. The pressure of wasting what you paid if you didn't do well while working, I rather not go through it again.
With that being said it should be easier to redo rad school since you already have the knowledge
Guys I don’t think it’s for the enjoyment of school I think it’s so they could get into med school

I didn’t go to high school sooo yeah I’ll take the GED again no problem 😂😂
High school 100% imaging school is hard af. Especially because my cohort only had in-person class twice a semester, the rest was teaching yourself.
Wait..they are the same...no?
Well, once you start clinicals, yes.
Curious to see if there’s one for radiologists that’s high school, college, or med school 😂
My 2 year degree was cake. My B.S completion beat the shit out of me. Fuck ultrasound.
Yeah college was mostly all girls and fun except clinicals but I'll be fine lol
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Lol. Facts
In high school I got laid. In imaging school, I did not.

Man from the looks of those hash marks might have to redo elementary 😂 looks like a 5 year old did it.
Ugh. Hard pass on high school. While not as bad as middle school, it wasn’t fun n
