Injuries as a mammo tech?

By

Hi everyone,

I got into a radiology tech program which ends in a modality so you get to pick ct/mri/mammo tech.

I was a cna and a patient I got stuck lifting alone (I'm barely 100 pounds) shoved my right shoulder back and tore up my body. I know have back issues in btwn my shoulder blades and muscle loss. And prone to so many spasms.

The school I got into is willing to work with me which is great and told me to look into mammo tech bc depending on the hospital ct/mri/cardiac cath would require lifting or a lot of lead wearing.

I can't shadow anyone right now b/c of covid. I was wondering if there were any mammo techs who has had issues with lifting heavy patients esp in the hosptial? Or had difficulty with positioning? Or sustained long term injuries due to their job?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

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.

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.
