“There is no giant step that does it. It’s a lot of little steps.”

                                                                                    -Anom

This quote is true because when you want something you have to know that it takes time and that when you jump into something too quick the chances are that you will fail at what you did because you rushed into it. Always know that you have to take your time with things and never rush into things because good things happen to people that wait. I think that it is better if you wait for what’s going to happen to you instead of jumping right into something that might go well. You never know what is going to happen. Take little steps at a time because if you take giant steps then you will not be able to stop and enjoy what you are doing for yourself.

“Right is right, even if everyone is against it: and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.”       -William Penn

This quote is true because sometimes we incline to following or doing what others are doing without realizing that what they are doing is wrong and you know that it’s wrong but you still decide to do it because you want to be a part of the cool kids or what not. I agree with it because I even tend to do this at times even though I know that it is wrong I still do it because I want to fit in with everyone else. Our heats will always tell us what’s wrong and what is right all we have to do is follow our hearts and not care what others might think of what we do because in the end the only thing that is going to affect us is the things we do that might jeopardize our future  no one but ourselves can do that for us. 

X-Ray Techncian

X-Ray Technician

Duties and Responsibilities:

They combine bits of several professions into their job descriptions. Like nurses, they prepare patients for radiologic procedures, usually making sure patients are calm and in the proper position for the x-rays to be taken. This includes talking to the patients and defining their areas of concern, as well as sometimes collecting survey information or filing paperwork. The bulk of an x-ray tech’s job is operating x-ray machines–both smaller, convenient equipment and larger, motionless ones–to capture pictures of patient’s bones, soft tissues, and organs. They then develop these pictures and pass them on to doctors and radiologists, making sure to alert related staff member to any urgent problems that may need fast care.

Salary:

$40,000-$80,000

Education:

A certificate program that takes one to two years, a two-year associate’s degree, or a four-year bachelor’s degree. Certificate programs are available through traditional or online courses, community colleges, technical schools, and some hospitals. These institutions often require an intensive coursework schedule. Prerequisites to radiology programs may include previous medical experience and/or medical terminology, office technology or ethics coursework. The foundation of radiology education usually includes anatomy, chemistry, biology, radiology theory, mathematics and patient safety courses. A two-year associate’s degree is the most popular path for aspiring radiology techs at this time. Programs are offered at almost all accredited community colleges and private (for-profit) institutions.

I do not think that I would like to become an X-ray’s technician.
