Clerical specialist - MRI - good preparation for pursuing rad tech?

I am really interested in pursuing a career as a radiology technologist (likely focusing on MRI in the future, after ARRT) and have been researching programs in the PNW. I am starting by taking two of the prerequisite classes required for admission to the programs at my local community college while also working FT at my (completely unrelated) non-profit job.

Today however, I found a job listing at a local hospital for a “Clerical Specialist” in the MRI department. It doesn’t require much for experience, other than office experience and HS diploma, which I have.

My question is: Should I consider going for this job while I continue to knock out my pre reqs (which is going to take me at least another year)? Would this job give me any sort of leg up in getting accepted to RT programs down the line, or should I continue to work at my current job (which probably offers more flexibility overall than the clerical specialist job) and focus on getting my pre requisites knocked out?

Any advice from others would be greatly appreciated!

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

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/
