Ultrasound tech vs. Rad tech

By

A little background: I'm a recent grad with a B.S. in Kinesiology, located in SoCal. I originally wanted to pursue a career in veterinary technology specializing in canine rehabilitation, but the crappy pay + load of debt put me off. So now I'm looking into other healthcare jobs that don't include nursing, PA, MD ,etc. I'd prefer not to go back to school for more than 2-3 years and rad tech/ultrasound tech both seemed like great options.

From what I've read so far, ultrasound technician sounds more my speed as it is less patient-oriented. I can be a people person, but there are times when I just don't have the energy, and rad tech seems like bedside manner is a big part of the job (hence why I originally wanted to work with animals LOL).

Now because of COVID, I doubt I'll be able to intern/shadow anywhere at the moment, so I won't be able to get any in-person experience. Still, I'd like to gain any insight in the meantime while I research career options so any personal anecdotes, tips or advice would be awesome! Thanks in advance :)

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.
