Trodding on Through
Clinical is still going very well this summer. We have about three weeks left in this semester. The only thing that bothers me about this semester is that I haven’t collected a lot of master comps. I have met the requirement for the maximum grade because I had extras from last semester that have carried over, but I have only gotten 6 comps during this summer semester so far. I expect to get 3 more at least, but I would really like to have gotten several more during this term. I’m going to miss this clinical site when I’m gone though. I really enjoy working at this one.
We’ll be welcoming in the new class of students next week. The class of 2010 has been selected and they will have their orientation day at the school next week. Like the class that greeted us when we started, we will be putting together a small goody-bag of stuff for each of the new students. I believe the new incoming class only has 8 students instead of 10 this year. I’m not 100% sure of the reasoning behind that, but I believe that it has to do with the current saturation of the job market for radiographers in this area.
I am in the process of re-working the My Goals page of this website. At this point in the program, I think I need to focus on the comps that I don’t have rather than the ones that I do have. I need 11 more of the 36 required comps and I need 6 more of the required 15 electives. 17 more comps doesn’t sound like a lot, but it really is at this point in the program. In reality, I will need a lot more than that to get the grades I want. I’ll need a total of 26 more comps to get the maximum grade, but I only need 17 to meet the minimum requirement for graduation. I should get to that point without much trouble…
