TechLibro

i recently got accepted into a 2 yr rad tech program that accepts only 17 students per year. i will start this summer. i signed a pregnancy policy which included this:

The declared pregnant student may:
1. a. Continue as a student without any interruption in the regular program.
b. Continue as a student with deferral of fluoroscopy, surgery and portable rotations until pregnancy is completed. These rotations will be made-up.
c. Continue as a student with classroom participation only. All clinical rotation requirements deferred until pregnancy is completed.
d. Begin a leave of absence. The student will be readmitted to the School at a later date (i.e. – same time the following year) to continue their clinical and didactic training.
2. The student will be counseled by the Program Faculty regarding the pregnancy policy of the School.
3. The student who decides to continue clinical and didactic participation is required to abide by the following:
a. She will adhere to all radiation and standard precautions.
b. If any problem or if change in student status must be made, this should be submitted in writing, immediately.
c. She will wear two personnel radiation monitoring devices, one placed over the collar and one over the embryo-fetus, for monitoring. Readings will be monitored closely by the Radiation Safety Officer.
d. If at any time, a pregnant student feels she is working in an unsafe area or under conditions she feels are detrimental to herself or to the embryo-fetus, she should stop and report to the Program Director or Departmental Supervisor.
4. A vacancy will be held for a student for a maximum of six months following completion of pregnancy. After that time she will be considered withdrawn from the program.
5. The student will realize upon return that all requirements for graduation must be completed. The requirements include the clinical rotations, required courses, clinical competencies for the two-year period. NO EXCEPTIONS TO THE LENGTH OF THE TRAINING PERIOD. A student must complete twenty-four months of full-time student status. A certificate will not be issued until all requirements have been successfully met.

my husband and i are planning to get pregnant soon, and it actually turns out that if i get pregnant before april, the baby will be due during christmas break from school, which is about 3 -4 wks.

i’m just worried that will not hold-true to their policy and let me continue full-time as normal. alot of schools around here “do what’s best for the student as well as the class”. but if i signed this policy i’m okay, right?
