RT students live in glass hous...

The day started out with me misaligning the tube and the bucky. Dosing the patient and not getting the image. And later when trying to comp exams, while my positioning was competent, my confidence was shaken. I will however, bring it up with the clinical instructor. I need to know how to deal with situatio...

The adventures of a radiologic technology student in the Pacific Northwest. Saturday, September 30, 2006. The Honey Moon is Over. The honeymoon is over, this according to the main instructor.
