I love my profession but yeah it is also tiring. Yesterday nag reliever ako sa isang clinic and then night duty after that day. Ayuko naman ma abuse yung body ko just because I have the strength, you know your body will also pay off if you don't take care of yourself.

Just today I decided na kahit may errands ako and training na kailangan gawin is mag off muna ako kasi wala pa akong proper sleep lalo na at galing ako sa night. Just currently adjusting pa din pero things go smoothly and I am very grateful to the Lord because dahil ito sakanya lahat. I still need to study and work on another practice.

Things never stopped kahit na you achieved already something. Always be humble the top advice sakin ng parents ko and my seniors in my field and other medical field. Never ever think na madami kana din narating kahit na meron kana talaga mapapatunayan because humbleness in life is a very positive thing and will teach you in life.

Update: 1/12/25

Hi Tumblr,

Happy New Year! I hope this year is an amazing one!

It's been a while since I last updated on my journey to becoming becoming a tech. I ended up not going to my BLS in-person portion of the class. I didn't get the online portion done :( I know this looks bad, I had an entire month to get it done T_T I have a lot of bad habits of mine to break before I'm ready for a radtech program and one of them is procrastination...I still have access to the online portion so I'm going to finish it THIS week! Once I finish it, I will purchase the class again and go through the course AGAIN to review everything the remaining 3 weeks. The in-person portion is February 12th :) I'll be honest, I got into a bad habit of not taking school seriously, but having to do this all on my own with no financial support anymore is going to get me to take this more seriously. 92 bucks wasted on this last course T_T On top of that, it shows that I'm not ready for school as much as I want to be in a program right now. I can't even commit and stay on top of a simple BLS class that was only like a month long with a short in-person section. I need to get my act together >:(

Also, my current school as well as one of the school's I'm interested in for RT both said to retake my classes at my current school. The only class available was HTML so I'll be retaking this class. This class was back when I wanted to get into web design. Computers weren't for me, and I ended up failing the class. I'm starting with the class that I failed first. I'm paying out of pocket and can't really afford multiple classes right now anyway. I only have 3 that I failed. Once I get through those, the ones I got C's in I have to file a petition. Hopefully I can retake them. I want to get as close to a 3.6 as possible T_T I think when I was running the numbers, if I retook the classes I failed in and got A's I would have a 3.0 Not the best for RT school, but hopefully with some job experience, volunteer experience, and a killer interview I could still get in if I end up not being able to retake all the classes I want. Trying to stay hopeful and remind myself that this is going to be a long and difficult journey, but it'll be over before I know it and it'll be so worth it in the end :D

I'm going to try to update daily showing you guys my progress on the BLS course :)

Also, this is my new planner for the year! I normally get the fit planner from Blogilates, but I don't really make use of the fit portion of it lol, so I thought I might as well get a normal planner. I got an Erin Condren planner. It's cute, but they are priceyyyy and mine came with an error :) One of the daily spreads was put RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of the monthly spread...I hadn't opened up the planner until closer to the new year and that was past the amount of days they said to bring up any issues with the planner...As far as I know it's only the one page, so I'll just deal with it lol just disappointing is all considering how much they charge for these planners.

I personalized the front to be an inspo board for the new year. I have some RT stuff on there, fitness, health, etc. I love it, and I've been using it everyday!

My Life as a RadTech Freshman:

First Semester Struggles

I’m not really sure how to start this.

Being a freshman RadTech student is way harder than I thought. I figured I’d just learn how to take X-rays and maybe a bit of anatomy. Turns out, there’s a lot more — physics, positioning, medical terms, patient care, radiation safety — it’s honestly overwhelming.

The first day was a blur. I was nervous but excited. Everyone else looked nervous too, which made me feel a little better. Our professor talked about how this job is super important because we’ll be helping doctors figure out what’s wrong with patients. That’s when it hit me — this isn’t just about machines and pictures. It’s about people.

The first few weeks were tough. I kept thinking, “Did I make the wrong choice?” Memorizing bones and medical terms felt impossible. Some nights, I stared at my notes for hours but couldn’t remember anything. It sucked.

Then we had our first lab day.

Getting to use the X-ray machine for the first time was crazy. I had no idea what I was doing. My first image came out blurry and crooked, but it didn’t matter. I actually did it. It felt real for the first time — like I wasn’t just a student but a future RadTech.

I still mess up. Last week, I completely forgot how to position for a wrist X-ray and froze. My lab partner had to help me out. It was embarrassing, but I’m learning.

The best part? My classmates. We’re all struggling together, which makes it easier. We study, share notes, and laugh about how tired we are. It’s nice knowing I’m not alone in this.

I just graduated. What a journey. Onto the next. 🎓☢️🥹✨🌌

is rad tech course hard in college? can u describe it to me what’s it like

[gossamersoulz]

The sail sign on an elbow radiograph, also known as the anterior fat pad sign, describes the elevation of the anterior fat pad to create a silhouette similar to a billowing spinnaker sail from a boat. It indicates the presence of an elbow joint effusion.

graduated today! many mixed feelings. it's never a good idea to enroll in that course your family is pushing you to take but sometimes you have to. i have maybe 48 hours to sleep until i have to do board exam review....sad clown noises

[veone]

Hey, I’m a graduating x-ray student. I ran across your blog by searching up x ray registry and your post about getting an 89 on your preliminary test popped up. I wanted to ask you what study materials did you use and any tips on studying for the registry Congratulations on graduating and becoming a tech!

I am responding to this a bit late. I apologize! So the board exams questions are primarily procedures bases. I would suggest getting your positions and anatomy down back and focus on the exams are you aren't very confident in! For me I had the hardest time with skull exams related questions because of how few and far in between they were.

Radtech boot camp with clover learning is great, honestly. They cover everything you'll need to know regarding radiology along with the little things you don't think about much like disease control and how to properly dawn a gown, gloves, and respiratory! It's also written in a very straightforward and simple manner that breaks down concepts pretty well. Its vidoe based and also includes some text to follow that covers the topics in the section if you don't wanna watch videos. Its about 300 dollars for a year access and they also offer CT and MRI courses if your interested! I know you probably just want to finish xray school but it's a physical job that can be taxing on your body in the long term!

My school's preliminary exams were though HESI. Significantly harder than the actual boards exams. It gives you feed back on why your answers were wrong and breaks down the concepts very detailed. You'll be overprepared, and thats exactly what you want!

Also linking the quizlet version because it's basicly free! I wish you luck with xray school! Don't let them exploit you and night shift rules! You get paid a lil more and don't do as much fluro. Sugery cases get real easy when you are getting paid to just stand around for a few hours when you could be holding down a elderly dementia patient who's not sitting still for a pelvis xray on a bed that has only one sheet and the mattress is soft. Sorry for any typos!

just left my application for radtech school and they're processed by who applied first so. there's an almost certain chance i will get in. i just have to get approved by a doctor of labor medicine. and maybe do some revisions for physics considering i haven't had a single physics class in 3 years. pray for me chat

[wisdomcaster]

Thank you to the radtech who complimented my line art this morning?? I don’t know if you could tell I was drawing astarion and his fuck ass hair, but you made my morning lmao. (Also you were really cute and if I hadn’t been so exhausted and shocked by the compliment I might have said something)

[such-a-downer]

Sorry for being dramatic but i just really feel so directionless right now. I recently just got terminated from my (paid) internship. I feel so incompetent. During my time in the office there's also this supposedly zoom interview for another job that I applied for but i missed the appointment twice because first, I was out for event coverage, on second, i was trying to meet a deadline. I was batshit scared to say anything to one of my superiors about that, because even tho they are kind, i still think it's rude to use my time in the office just to take a zoom call that's nothing task-related.

The job was hectic but also fun as i get to meet different kinds of people. But as I already have someone to look after at home PLUS the early call time for events/early wake time PLUS my stoopid body trying to demand more sleep than i think is normal AND poor focus,, office workflow almost got compromised and i think i was becoming more of a hindrance than of help. It didn't help that I suspect myself to have some sort of anxiety disorder, tho sadly, I can't afford professional diagnosis right now.

And then my rather introverted self came off as rude to the higher ups (not really my intention), there's also a couple of stoopid reckless decisions i made (no, I'll never mention) that equates as an offensive action towards my supervisor (again, not my intention). Also, my ignorance was never a bliss, always a curse. I hated myself for being ignorant and unprepared.

Now I'm back to being just at home all day, trying to find another job online (job sites, socials). And pretty much all day I think back about so many "what if's" and regrets like what would have happened if i chose art curriculum back in high school or that I should have just continued STEM and chose the stereotypical nursing course (or anything med related like radtech or medtech).

I'm so mad that my world didn't expand much, i didn't grow much. I fucking let my potential get crippled.

I feel so lost but I still desperately cling to hope. Well, clinging to hope is definitely one of the most addicting things in my opinion. You feel high when you think about possible good results then feel sick when things fall apart.

I'll probably forget this post but if I do remember it maybe a year later, we'll see what changes

[orange-demons-deactivated2024]

Haha so…

Good news everyone! You’re all stuck with me for another month! The RadTech program now starts on July 1st 2024 not June 1st.

Enough time for me to cook! 🧑‍🍳 🔥

I hope I’m able to write and post all my ideas for Street Fighter 6 before then.

Stay tuned!
