Is it possible to get a certificate before an associates?

By

I'm interested in becoming a radiologic technologist and have found a accredited associates program I am interested in. The only problem is I don't think I can afford to take two years off to go through a program. Is it possible to get a certificate as something like an x ray tech first which would only be about one year, then try to save up money from that job? I understand that the more skills you have (CT, MRI, Sono, etc) increases your employment opportunity and salary which is why I'd like to get an associate's then try for other specialized certificates. It just seems like x ray tech is kind of at the bottom and you work your way up from there.

Tldr; can I get an x ray tech certificate if I haven't gone through an associates program?

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
