Need Advice on Applying to Rad Tech Program

I’m 19 and I graduated high school in 2019 with (unfortunately) a 2.5 gpa due to depression hitting me hard, especially after my mom’s passing in 2017. My priorities were screwed up but I’m trying to get back on the right path now. I’ve been interested in getting my associates degree and becoming a rad technician through one of the several community colleges I’ve been looking into. The program generally seems to be quite competitive so I really want to do as much as I can to improve my chances of getting in. So, I was wondering, would it be helpful/worth it to gain clinical experience (and certificate or diploma) as a medical assistant for a year or two before applying to the radiography program? Or would A’s and B’s in my prereqs likely be enough to get me in? I haven’t taken my prereqs yet which I know I’m going to have to do before I apply, but when I do take them I’m going to be aiming for all A’s of course

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything. Thanks! submitted by /u/xxDamnationxx [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/h9oqup/onetonline_salary_search_change/

Radiology program

I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.
