24 year old human heart functioning well
Annual echo cardiogram. Came back with relatively normal function and structure. No sign of leaking nor defect. Despite being diagnosed with sinus tachycardia and mild hypertension at age 17, my heart overall has been in good shape since. I diet and exercise daily nowadays.

What does a cath lab xray tech do?
I’m interested in cath lab and was wondering what their day to day schedule is like. Could an cath lab xray tech describe their daily routines? Do they scrub up the doctors and just do xray? Or do they also do the wirings? Is it like IR?

Large Retroperitoneal Cyst
Chylous cyst found during pregnancy in between illiac vessel & psoas muscle. Grew to 20cm! Flash forward one week PP, infected with enterococcus post c-section. High fever and multiple rounds of IV antibiotics. Had drain in it for 6 weeks, laparoscopy done and it was too risky for removal with how small it had gotten. Now the cystic component is gone and surrounding measures <2cm! So glad to be on the other side of this.

Do you think a ARRT tutor is worth it?
I failed ARRT by 1 point and I’m eager to reschedule my exam before receiving my score breakdown. Do you think I should wait to get my score breakdown before rescheduling? I’ll still be studying every single day I just got RadReview and been hitting RTBC modules since I saw that 74 3 days ago. I’m going away the last week of May for a cruise and I want to be at peace on this cruise knowing that I’m a RT(R). I don’t want to make the wrong move, I just know that this test looks like RadReview and not RTBC.

Position practice at school
In the actual classroom, do you perform practice positioning on a dummy or another classmate? How similar is the dummy to a real person? Like are the fingers and toes able to move the same way they need to for certain positions?

Passed my ARRT today!
I waited 2 years for this post, I passed my registry today! I think I’m going into CI long term, but I can finally exhale and enjoy graduation. I finished with multiple job offers, all from placements or rotations and I’m excited to start working full-time so I can stop having dreams about coursework and classes.

Rib X-ray
I’m an RT student heading into my 2nd year. I feel like rib X-rays are the ugly step sister of X-rays. I’ve only done 4 total and my confidence level is 0 every time!!
Just wanted to rant

Studying for boards
Ive seen quite a few people on here recommending corectec and I want to know its it really worth it for me to purchase. I have been using Rad Review and got to the point where I’m getting all the same questions because I’ve used it so much. I also had the Kettering seminar at my school and have been using the book but I feel like answering questions helps me remember stuff better than just reading. So is it worth it? I also have bootcamp too, I felt those questions are just a little to easy? Idk if they really compare to the actual boards! Anyway thanks for sharing my exam is in a month.
