I have only 27 days of externship left, and graduate from college in 48 days! EEEE!
I already have a great job lined up, and a place to live, and I'm SO EXCITED! *bounce*
I will be SO glad to be done...my externship experience wasn't horrible, but at least I know now that I absolutely do NOT want to work in a medical clinic for the rest of my career.

Lots of places are now calling it the image library .. used to be called the film library. When all those radiographs (x-rays) are produced .. they have to have some place to keep them, don't they.
These days, as images are digital- rather than film-based, image librarians are responsible for maintaining what hard-copy film is maintained, they produce image copies and CD's .. that kind of thing.

I am an ultrasound student trying to prepare for the ultrasound exams. I am planning to take physics, abd,gyn,vascular, and vascular physics. I had good luck w/the Appleton and Lang book in the past for my x-ray exam but I've heard many times that, for ultrasound, the A&L is a waste of money. I would like to know if anyone knows the best review books to study for these exams. Thanks so much!

Well, I can't answer for Dave ...
If you're not yet in a Radiography program, but want to gain experience in the field and perhaps clarify whether or not you want to go INTO a program - then by all means, get a job as a tech assistant. You could also consider working in the image library.
Although every hospital may have difference, there won't be much in the way of requirements - certainly a high-school diploma or GED.
This would expose you to the healthcare environment and allow you to see if it's a good fit for you.
good luck
