well, it might be a little too late but good luck on your boards and your MRI program! I graduated in May and am back this semester for an MRI certificate program.

yea will do! anyway what do i do now? the arrt will mail my scores in like 2-4 weeks i think right? along with my arrt license? but i also need a state license (florida) correct? does the arrt forward scores to the state? or do i have to do that? also im sure theres some kind of fee? sorry for all the questions i was so focused on studying i didnt really look into everything else

well, I'm in Arizona so I'm not sure how it works in Florida but I had to send in a new application to my state organization. I didn't have to pay a fee because my limited license fee was prorated. You have to get your scores to the state, ARRT does not forward them along.

This might have the info that you need:

Florida does require a state license/certification, you won't be able to work without it.

The school didn't talk to you about it?

thanks guys! it looks like any questions i have regarding this are on there. and my school did talk to me about it, they gave me these forms to fill out for the florida license i believe it was, but it was like for a temp license until you were to pass the registry of something, it all just kinda confused me so i said ill just focus on passing the registry and figure this part out when im done soooo i passed and now i need to sort this stuff out lol but anyway thanks for the info!
