So, I'm a recent graduate of a radiography program in Houston.
Before the program, I had my NCT (basically a limited tech) certificate and have 2 years of experience in a private practice, and also have a connection with a large company that has branches all over Houston, UT Physicians. I worked for them prior to starting the program, and they told me to come back and I'd get a job as an RT immediately.
Well, then Corona happened and they're all outpatient and on a hiring freeze.
In the meantime, I'm trying to work immediately and have been sending out applications everywhere.
I've basically gotten a full time offer as a mobile x ray tech and the commute is atrocious to put it best. I would be driving from the southeast side of houston to the north west side of houston just to get the vehicle i would be using. Obviously then to whichever facility i'm working at, then back to the northwest side, then back home. Daily.
How is the pay of mobile compared to hospital/clinic? Is working strictly with nursing homes as horrible as it sounds? Is being mobile as bad as it sounds?
I'm wondering if i'm better off taking up an offer from a staffing agency for a potential part time job until the places i'm offered a position start hiring again.
Sorry if this post seems scatter brained and not clear. Because it is.
TL;DR - Looking for input on experiences from a mobile tech, working strictly with nursing homes.
