Congrats!

Edited! And thanks!

Congrats, fury!

I know the kind of effort that goes into getting there. Well deserved.

Thank you!

Great news! Congrats!!!

Very happy, thank you very much.

Congratulations! The radiation therapy field is tough to get in to--I went through the process four years ago. I graduated in May 2009, passed my registry in August '09, and am now doing what I love! It's an extremely rewarding career and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Believe me, all that hard work will pay off in the end--all the best to you!

We have to talk!

Congrats!!

And thank you.

Thanks buddy! I'm still floating on Cloud 9 today, and just getting into all the hoops I have to jump through to participate in a clinical program. First item down, the background check. Hope nothing unseemly is found out!

Well, you do live in Vegas, so you know the saying...

I don't recall ever being arrested, so that's good. The cops were called one time when I was butt naked in a pool in the middle of the night with a bunch of other drunk friends, but I wasn't caught! Woot!

 

[Darth Waller]

Mental note: stay away from the pool at CVI.

 

[tbay]

Wow, this is good news! I remember reading that you didn't get into this program and I was bummed for you. Congrats!

Congrats man! This just means more money for your Alien collection when you graduate.

 

[furystorm]

Only two more months until I sit for the Registry!

What a ride it's been!

In case anybody was wondering, or cares...

I've completed my program that I so voraciously wanted to get into. Everything does tend to work out the way it does, or something like that. Seems quite fortuitous honestly, as I was laid off from a closing casino in February of this year. But now I am fully employable as a bonafide Radiation Therapist. And to top it off, it's the most fun, challenging, and rewarding job title I've ever carried. I wish I could have worked more clinical hours, but even so, the 800 hours I did work, never felt like work. Most of my full days in clinic, we would work more than eight hours, or miss lunch, or something. But, I would always come home and say, "I've never worked so long, or been without a break so often, and not been paid, and still loved what I was doing more."

I've had a lot of support from members of this board, and I thank you all.

By the way, I finished top of my small class of ten. We had two fail the boards. But, I went from being the alternate, to the top!

Now just to find a position!

Congratulations! There are a few medical types in my family...two ultrasound techs, one RN and a full on Doctor. They never had much trouble finding work, even in the bad economy. So I would think you will be at it soon. Good Luck!

so, where's the party? where's the free drinks?

congratulations!

congrats man, I didn't see this thread before. I know the frustration first hand as I got denied getting into a Physical Therapy Assistant program (lottery based) this year. 175 applicants and only 30 seats, but anyways.......congrats on finishing.
