Hey Joe. I just found this blog b/c I’m depressed with my job. I’m kind of comforted by the fact I’m not the only one. I went to a lousy school, not a trade college that charges 60k, but an actual Jr College that fired two instructors in 5 years of existence and in the process it is the graduates who suffer. I barely found a per diem job 2 years after graduation, and the orientation wasn’t that great and coupled with the bare minimum I received I’m school I feel like I am not a good RT.

My patients love me and appreciate me because I’m a real good person but I don’t know if RCP is what I’m meant to practice. I applied for another allied health career that has no critical patients at all and I have now decided to pursue that instead while working through college as an RT on the weekends.

Are you still an RT? Why are most RTs unhappy? Is this contagious?
