ELLISVILLE \u2013 Ten, new graduates of the 糖心直播 Radiologic Technology program celebrated with their families, faculty and Jones administrators in a virtual, Ceremony of Completion. Mandy Pearson M.S. R. T. (R)., 糖心直播\u2019s Radiologic Technology Director said this class has endured and persevered over the last two years overcoming several obstacles. \u00a0Halfway through the program, all of the lab equipment was removed and replaced with new, state-of-the-art equipment thanks to a grant from the Asbury Foundation. This class has also adapted to the switch in instructional changes due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, Pearson said these students have pushed through each challenge successfully.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have remained focused and determined to get to this day. We are proud of the hard work and effort they put forth to earn their degrees. We are confident each student is prepared and will be successful on their A.R.R.T. Certification Examination to become Registered Radiologic Technologists,\u201d said Pearson.<\/p>\n
Students in health care programs were not allowed to attend their clinical labs with concerns about spreading the Coronavirus. Sara Sadler of Columbus said she never imagined a pandemic would affect the course of her education and graduation. However, the restrictions turned out to be blessings.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy instructors made the transition from a traditional, in the classroom setting to an online format very easily and it was understandable. Providing the virtual face-to-face lectures, notes, videos and encouraging words prepared me to conquer my final semester at Jones,\u201d said Sadler. \u00a0\u201cThe interruptions caused by COVID-19 were blessings in disguise. Through the obstacles faced, I am more thankful for devoted instructors, I am more patient and understanding that good things take time and I am better prepared to enter the healthcare workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n
