Looking for some input (Recent Graduate)

By

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.

Onetonline salary search change?

By
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

By
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.
