One of my clinical rotations hired me as an aide a couple of months before I finished my program. Basically I was allowed to help out the radiology department but I was not allowed to make exposures. Now I finished the program and my registry is in a month. But this particular hospital takes a looooong time to process paperwork through because it’s a government run hospital. I’m still under the title as an aide but have a temporary license. So according to the state I can take X-rays but in my current job title I cannot. My boss is already telling me to go do cases in the OR or do portable runs alone. I addressed to my supervisors that I am not comfortable making any exposures alone because of the job title not changing right away. Yet, they put me on a schedule as a tech and short staffed the shift. I’m basically expected to do tech work even though I have an aide title and get aide pay. Is this legal?
Edit: I live in New York so only a tech or a doctor can legally take xrays in my state
