i have to write a paper about this read below i don’t even understand what he want plz help where do i start

Dr. Little has asked that you create a program specifically designed to track the license and continuing education requirements for some hospital professionals (both MDs and radiology technicians).

To do this, you must first study programming basics, computer language, and available products on the market that might be utilized. Deciding that no product exists to meet your needs, you choose to develop your own program.

Include such related topics as the following:

software specifications
software design
writing the software
validation and debugging

i am so lost . if you can just point me in the right direction i will be greatful. if you cant help me plz dont be a smart butt and put something rude on htere ty very much
this si for a medical billing and coding class

Why do I feel like a looser sometimes?

radiology — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:48:20 +0000

I go to college I have a 3.7 GPA I graduate next spring… great right? WRONG I am 21 and I don’t have my license or a job but I don’t HAVE to have one. My parents would rather me go to school and for a career and get great grades. Then get okay grades and spend my free time working at a fast food chain or another job where you are under paid.

I do not have my license because when I was 17 and just finished drivers ed I was expelled from school for a year. Instead of waiting a year to return to school I just got my GED. My parents were so mad at me for the longest time that I was expelled that I wasn’t allowed to go anywhere or get a car. So I went to GED classes and worked at a subway and then I enrolled in college and quit my job. This is what I have been doing since I was 18 that and working for my parents cleaning, doing paper work, organizing files (the own their own welding company.)

I HATE not having a license they told me as soon as I get my license they would buy me a decent car. I am running out of time I am going to graduate and then I am transferring to a college an hour away. The college I go to now is 10 minutes away if I really wanted to I could walk so rides were never an issue. There is one problem my parents are already paying thousands for college, they don’t wanna pay 300 for drivers ed. I could get 300 by saving up and babysitting and doing my parents dirty work at their business.

Do I sound like a looser I mean at least in the long run I will have a high paying career in the medical field (radiology).

I wanna get a job but no car means no rides no rides means no job. Furthermore, this year I have to finish up classes which will consume my life, and do volunteer at a hospital for the program I want to get into. So between school and volunteering I will have NO TIME.

Sometimes I hear people go oh they are just a 21 year old KID. Then other times I hear omg they are 21 and don’t have their life together their an adult blah blah. Like I probably look about 18 and NOBODY treats me like an adult unless they want something from me lol.

It can be so frustrating. Do you think I am a looser for what I don’t have or a winner for what I have?

Equal Opportunity Employer….??

radiology — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 18:48:42 +0000

I ve been trying to apply for a Radiology Tech aide position at the same hospital at 3 different locations….haven’t gotten hired yet… I am a full-time college student majoring in radiography.. I have a state license to do limited radiography and is CPR certified..I dont understand what the deal is…the only requirement for the job is to beable to communicate clearly and must be CPR certified… they did not list any other requirements.. 2 out of the 4 times I applied it says “application forwarded to hiring manager” I called the two different locations HR dept. and asks if there were additional skills required the said no..soooo whats the deal..?? I more than qualify for the job
i know its silly but im not experienced in this field..however Ive taken Radiography classes that teaches you how to dea with the patients and how to position them for x-rays. Im trying to get experiences.. but I feel that I should be given a chance to start some where..I am going to school for this field..they never said experiences REQUIRED. so i believe that it shouldnt matter if I am or not I am capable of learning.

Politics: Those against marijuana legalization?

radiology — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:49:00 +0000

I can understand how some people are against legalizing marijuana. I am all for legalization, and I’m not against those who aren’t for it. But, why must your reasoning be that people who smoke weed are unmotivated, unintelligent, dirty pieces of crap that don’t work and sit around all day? That is not true most of the time. I like to smoke, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. I am also in college earning a degree in Radiology, love school, and recently earned my Certified Nursing Assistant license. You also couldn’t tell by looking at me that I smoke. What are your REAL reasons for being against marijuana legalization? In my opinion weed and alcohol are the same.

I need some advice on which profession to go into…?

radiology — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:48:23 +0000

I am 44yrs old and am ready to go back to school, my backround is all clerical, medical secretary backround. I am a single mom and looking to up my pay after years of struggling on the measly pay for clerical work. I am looking into a Radiology tech (2yrs) or Licensed Practical Nurse (1yr). And I have to admit in the back of my head I question myself if I will be too old for these careers in 5-10 yrs. I know this type of thinking is crazy! What do you think? Any suggestions would be appreciated. (Sigh! wish I would have gone to school when I was young, let this be a lesson to you young ones who put off going to school !!).

EMT/ X-ray tech or computer security?

radiology — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 10:48:31 +0000

Hi, I was hoping to get the opinions of some people about what my best option would be in regards to academics…

Currently, I’m in New York studying at St. John’s University as an accounting major with scholarships paying most of it… I really like New York and I really like my major but i feel like i’m out of place and heading down the wrong path…

I’ve lived in new york for about a month but am from LA, california and tend to get homesick. Instead of pursuing a bachelor’s degree (or master’s degree) i’ve thought about going to community college back in cali to first get my EMT license then continue that path to become a radiology tech. I’ve volunteered for years in an ER and a radiology department of a hospital and loved the atmospere, the jobs of EMTs and x-ray techs, as well as the work they had…

Should i drop this semester and enroll in community college or stick with the bachelors degree (i’ll walk out with ,000 in debt after 4 years)? I’m concerned people will thinking i’m just trying to wimp out of my major… how should i respond to this?

Thanks!!

To any RN’s or employees at RN schools.?

radiology — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 01:50:04 +0000

I am interested in getting into the RN program. I am currently a Radiology Tech. I have taken my boards and have my license etc..

I heard that a Rad Tech can take the LPN test and if pass, then just study for one more year to become an RN. Is this true? Is there any shortcut I can take since I am already in the medical field?

Any information will help, Thanks!

What jobs can I get in the medical field as a convicted felon in WA?

radiology — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 14:50:38 +0000

I was 19 years old at the time of the crime. I was convicted of 1st degree Robbery in 2004. I’m not on any probation anymore, and coming up in september it will have been 7 years since I’ve been convicted of this nightmare from my past. I have great refferences and job history. I’m going to try and get a volunteer gig at a hospital or some sort of medical office/building. I want to go to school for RADIOLOGY. Is it possible to obtain a license in this field with my one felony? Or any other medical field in Wa for that fact? I bartend now and want more for myself and am totally loving school right now. I think helping people is my calling and any help or guidance would be helpful. Thank you.
