I am going to go to school to be an X-Ray Tech. I am going to have to quit my full time job to do so because the classes are only during the day. I am going to have to find a part time job because I have bills to pay. Do hospitals let you work in the radiology dept why you are still in school? I’m also hoping I can get loans to help me so I can have some extra money… Worried!
Rad Therapy. Currently, there is not too many jobs for Nuc Med and MRI. Rad Therapist also get more money than the rest. Ultrasound is in demand now, but don’t get as much as Rad Therapist.
i am from ontario and the ultrasound schooling courses are limited. is there a good accredited school in the states? and can i take the course there and come back to canada to work? if so what extras will need to be done to go to school in the states and to come back to canada after to work?
I am particularly interested in Seatle WA, Portland OR, Colorado, Texas or advice will help if you have experiance and or knowledge about ultrasound school. Thanks
where can i find a school that teach ultrasound in san jose, california or close to it?
Please do not get radiography confused with Radiology. I am currently a Radiography student. I’m in my 3rd semester of school. I will finish school May 2008 and I want to start looking at different opportunities before graduation. I am willing to continue going school. Any helpful information is greatly appreciated. Thanks
I went to the doctor and the MRI said I have a completely torn ACL. My options are as follows: I can get surgery to replace my ACL or I can work on physical therapy and try to continue wrestling, playing hockey, and playing ultimate frisbee with a torn ACL. Surgery would cause me to miss part of my junior year wrestling season, but without surgery the chances are very high that I could re-injure my knee.
Most community colleges and junior colleges offer programs leading to certification as a Radiologic Technologist. Then once you are working in that field your employer will often arrange and finance your training in specialties such as MRI, CT, PET or interventional radiological subspecialties.
I am thinking about going back to school in the fall to begin training for a new career in the medical/healthcare field. Can anyone please give me some info on different options (nurse, x-ray tech, mri tech, etc, etc, etc) and what they involve and what they pay? I am not sure exactly what field I would like to get into and what is involved with each field. I am also wondering what has the best job outlook and what pay scale to expect for different things. Thanks!
How do I find a good school in my area? Do the techs that do cat scans, MRIs, and mammographies make more money then just an xray tech??
