Any x-ray techs/Radiologists I need some advice?

You will be with a technologist, however as a student you will be expected to work independently. When you first start you should be able to quickly handle chest x-ray and KUBs. As you advance what you do will change. The only way to learn to take a x-ray is to do them, hands on the machine and hands on the patient. The technologist is there to keep you from screwing up too bad. Some of us old tech are better at stepping back and letting you do things than others, I personally am horrible if I see a error about to happen I just have to step in and yes I know I use to drive students crazy. I was also a stickler for correctness on check offs. First couple weeks pay attention to the departments protocols and methodology. The number one no-no is to be working with a technologist and let the words " but the book says" slip from your mouth. The book tells you the basic way to get images on the perfect patient and you need to know all those weird angles and landmarks. Unfortunately sometimes things need to be done differently according to the patient condition and injury. Always have your markers on you and available. Help with cleaning and patient care duties. Some days you will wonder just what you have gotten yourself into, but remember a great career is at the end of the program.
