Are there any X-ray techs out there?

I am thinking about going to school for this. What school did you go to?

Thanks

If you go onto the website ARRT ( I believe it is) they have listings of schools that offer the program.. I went to the VA in Northport for Nuclear Medicine Unfortunately they don't have a school anymore but if you can get into Nuclear Medicine School your salary is even higher.... Molloy has Nuc Med School and I know Nassau has X Ray school. It is a two year program and it is so worth it.....

FM me if you want more details

I am not a rad tech . . BUT I work as a recruitment / retention Project manager in Radiology for a Hospital and I can tell you this is the HOTTEST growing field to get into. w/ a two yr degree you can expect to make 60 - 65k the FIRST year!!!!! Do it!!!!

What do you need a 2 year degree in? And what are the types of hours in this field? I thought of this as well.

Check out this site:Amer. Registry of Radiological Technologist

Try contacting the schools. Also, there is a tremendous shotage of Rad Techs (thats technologist NEVER say Technicians), so call your local medical centers and speak with a manager / director of Radiology and see where (what schools) they get there students from. Feel free to FM me and I will try to help from this end. GL - I should have done this YEARS ago . . . GREAT career potential!!!!

You get an Associates through the school you are in you can't really transfer credits its a program not straight college courses, and you have clinical rotations its like a program from 8-4 or 9-5 and they don't differ their hours.

I am a Nuclear Technologist and went to school with the X-Ray Technologists...
You can also look into Radiation Theraphy, Sonography and Nuclear Medicine. For Sonography there is a great program through Boces in Northport but you would have to try to get in next year they accept aplications in January for the class starting in July. You do need pre reqs for all of these programs....
Radiation Theraphy there is a program at Stonybrook.. Good Luck

I work full time in a Cardiology office now and I work M-F varying times no later than 7pm no weekends. I did work in a hospital right out of school M-F 8-4 and weekends call.. so it really varies what you want to do... Good luck with it
The schools are NOT flexible and you do have to find some work nights if you have to work. I worked waitressing at night while I was in school. It really is worth it though..
