I was just curious as to why you chose MR and what you like/dislike about it?
Thanks!

not for myself, but my wife used to do MRI before we started having kids. when she was in school, she had an evening shift position as a tech aid in MRI. i think we both always knew that that's where she wanted to end up. once regestered, we took our corss sectional anatomy classes together, she went to MR and i went to CT. i think CT was a little too chaotic for her (get em in, get'r'done, GO GO GO!!), whereas i thrived in that kind of enviornment (throughout clinicals as a student i was in a Level 1 trauma center).

it all depends on the type of enviornment you want to be in. personally, i couldn't take 30 - 60 min. with just one patient. i'll get bored.

get'r'done!

We sound like twins who never met!

I do IT now, but if I ever go back to direct patient care, I'm ONLY going back to work Level-1 third shift ED/ER.

Must be that adrenaline.
