Hi everyone, this post is very informative, i am going to be studying diagnostic radiography in september, i did the work experience for a day and went around all the departments and i had a brilliant day, all the staff were lovely and really took time to engage with me, despite the fact i'm not even a student yet. I will be a mature student at the age of 33 so its a career change for me. I am very interested in mri and hopong to specialise in that eventually, although my mind may change as i go through the course.
The sad thing is, regarding the bullying, it isn't just the nhs, it is everywhere in all walks of life. I am a pretty sensitive person and hate this kind of thing, but you cant let the worry of it put you off doing what you want to do. There are always going to be people out there who are just plain horrible people, sometimes i take tnings too personally and to heart and that is something i have to work on, but you will encounter these people in any job you do, i think its just you hear about it more in articles for things like the nhs as they are always in the media because its relevant to everyone isnt it. Point it, don't let it hold you back!
