Dude thanks for the videos. 35, and thinking about trying this and getting into the medical field in general. Your videos have been helpful as a general overview of what its like and the lifestyle. Thanks bub.
New subscriber here from Houston, TX looking to change careers. Leaning towards MRI Tech and your videos are extremely helpful. Thanks you!
Thank you 🙏 Goodluck!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY TECH I DONT STOP TALKING! Lol Other techs I don’t mind I won’t talk if they don’t want to lol
The day go's by faster if everyone talks and has fun to be honest. But quiet days are coo too haha
I am new starting a MRI program in April!! 💪🏼
Nice good luck!
Your videos are dope man, you need to post more 🙏, these videos are legit helpful!
Thanks! More videos to come!
Sup MRI Man, it's George, one of your OG's, I think I was your 6th subscriber! 🤣 Damn time flies! I'm really digging your channel man, your platform is pretty sick. Much love and many blessing 🙏 (And to anybody reading this that is thinking about going for a career in MRI, the Information on this channel is PRICELESS! Good luck to everyone in here, were here to help one another!)
What's up George! Thanks for supporting my channel all these years. Time does fly by. I appreciate those comments bro. Stay up
I’m a new subscriber .. I was in nursing school I just drop out because it’s not for me .. I don’t want the stress either so I’m apply to school to be a rad tech .
Same, I start my program August 22nd
Working in a career in Allied Health is so vast! There are so many careers. It’s almost like you need a job coach who understands these various careers, or take a day to volunteer in that career choice.
That's true!!
45 years old and starting Casa Loma College in October.
Hey man, I’m a medical cannabis patient and I was wondering if that would interfere with working in radiology.
Don't be high at work. Also Marijuana is recreational in California, it's basically like buying a beer.
OG subscriber here! Might start a youtube channel soon! 1st travel MRI job in a couple days.
The OG Nader. What's up, it's been awhile! If you do start a channel I will support it fasho. We can collab if u want. Thanks for all ur support!
Yo mri man following you from Canada
Awesome! I wanna visit Canada one day. Thanks for watching!
@@MRIMan you should! Quebec is a great place to start ;)
👋 new subby here from Florida
Welcome to the gang! Follow me on instagram @therealmriman too
Hello there. Thank so much for posting so many informative videos. The videos have helped with a lot of questions I have had. I am currently enrolling into a school For MRI technology. May I have some recommendation on books to read that will help me out with a head start. Thank you.
MRI in Practice is great. Also any MRI cross section anatomy books. I should make a video on this
Yo, MRI Man, I just got done with my first semester of my MRI program, and I'm currently working as a tech assistant. Do you think 2 years experience as a tech assistant (along with my degree) is enough to get a travel tech position right out of school?
Awesome ! Congrats! I think as long as you could scan with little assistance needed you'll be good. Especially as a traveler. If you show up to a interview with confidence and say your ready to go, they will definitely give you a shot, they more than likely will train you for a couple week's too
@@MRIMan Thanks for the reply! The techs I work with said they will let me do some scans while they supervise
Newer sub. From N.C. Thinking of a career change to rad tech/MRI tech. Have a 2 year accredited program for rad tech locally, and then 30 min. Away is an accredited program for MRI.
Cool! Welcome to the channel! We'll if you go the rad route you can get licensed in other modalities. It's a longer route but in the long run you will be able to get in a hospital easier and make more money. But you gotta ask yourself if you wanna do xray, procedures and CT. Either way you'll be good!
Hey man, just curious, what is it that is making you want to switch from rad tech to MRI?
@@devan4thepeople I’m not switching from one to the other. I just have 2 schools near me that allow you to get the rad tech 2 year degree, and then transfer to the MRI school which is a 9 month program. I just like the idea of magnetism over radiation, and slightly more money. I’ve also scoped out some websites for travel MRI positions, and it seems pretty wide open right now. I currently work in an unrelated field at the moment.
Hey man, I was from the Triangle area of NC, and I moved to Winston-Salem for the Forsyth Tech MRI Program which is 2 years as opposed to 3.5 years everywhere else. If you really only want to do MRI, you should check it out.
@@danmcman1 that’s awesome! Thanks for the info!
What’s up MRI man, I live by the LA area and want to become an mri technologist. I’m also looking to go to Casa Loma. Would I be able to shadow you for a couple days? 🤷🏻♂️
Great school! Maybe I'd have to ask management .
@@MRIMan ok sounds good 👍🏼
Same boat as you dude ! Signed up for email and phone call see what’s the next path
I'm also in LA and interested in MRI, been doing some research. Not sure if you looked into CBD college, it's a nonprofit school in LA that has an MRI program and from what I have seen online it's cheaper than Casa Loma. If you happen to be near the San Gabriel Valley area, Pasadena City College has a Radiologic Technology,and apparently, the program has no waitlist. It's about a two-year full-time program once you complete the prerequisite courses.
I am preparing to apply for school by retaking some pre-reqs to up my grades and be more competitive for the program. If I'm accepted to both X-ray and MRI school, I'm choosing MRI. So is there anything I can watch on RUclips that can help prepare me for class? I want to get a general understanding before going into school so that I'm not overwhelmed in trying to understand everything, as well as studying and memorizing information.
Hey Mri Man, I just finished my bachelor's in Radiology and joined as Radiologic Technologist. For being an Mri Tech its takes around more than 3 years experience in xray and CT. Really wish to be a Mri tech and also like to do masters in it. Is it any way to get into it quickly along with masters in European countries and Australia ?
Great video! mri tech seems like a great career. Do MRI techs white coats like RN and Doctors?
Yes I love my job. Yes I did have a white lab coat when I worked at the hospital!
Hi, MRI Man. I am going to a community college, looking to apply to the Radiologic Technology program. I will have completed almost all my pre-requisite to apply next cycle except for one. I missed a pre-requisite because I had COVID and tried to switch my class to be online. Unfortunately, the class was full and I couldn't take it this semester. Because of this, I have to wait until 2023 to apply to the Radiologic Technology program. I'm a little sad about this. Is it worth trying to talk to the program chair about the one missing class to see if they could make an exception?
Wow sorry to hear that! Yes it is worth talking to the program director or who ever is in charge. Who know you mote beagle to get in. Good luck. Don't Give up regardless.
@@MRIMan Thanks for your advice. I will give it it a try.
@@tonyherring7382did u get in? I’m literally in same boat as u, have to wait whole year bc i finished a and p 4 weeks after February application date lol
@mistanipples4958 Hey. I'm just seeing this. Fortunately, i did get in. I talked to the program chair, and they put me on a wait list. I'm guessing because I had all A's in my core classes, they pushed me to the top. I'll be graduating 4 months.
Would you recommend going into an MRI program without prior rad tech/diagnostic experience? Looking at CBD college
If you don't mind doing x-rays , id Go for xray first. Soo u can cross get licensed in other modalities. It's all preference. The more you know the easier it is to get hospital jobs.
@@MRIMan A lot of x-rays recommend to go straight into MRI if possible. From your experience so far, you think doing x-ray first and then going into MRI would be most beneficial if we want to land a hospital job? I'm assuming hospitals provide better pay. My main concern with that is employers somehow "maxing you out" and low key overworking you if you're cross-trained in other modalities, is that too far-fetched?
Looking to join mri technician program here in LA , wait list for schools here is ridiculous. I saw you talk about Casa loma do I need any experience to get in I got my as in criminal justice so nothing in medical field but want to change career paths
All you need is a HS diploma to start at casaloma
Have you looked into CBD college? It's a nonprofit school in LA that has an MRI program, it's cheaper than Casa Loma I believe. Also, if you're near the San Gabriel Valley area, Pasadena City College has a Radiologic Technology and from what I read online this program has no waitlist. It's a two-year full-time program once you complete the prerequisite courses. Since it's a community college it will be the cheapest option.
Sup. New person hear.
Welcome to the channel!
😄
Avr salary when you start out?
In California I'd say 70,000 a yr
Iam flloweing from jordan 🇯🇴 and l study radiology hope to work in MRI department can you give me name of book helping me in my study
Ey thanks for the comment. I used "MRI in Practice " to study. Also mri cross sectional anatomy books and anatomy/ physiology.
@@MRIMan For the textbooks, does it matter which edition we get?
Im struggling so bad with this man wish someone would teach me im hard to learn my internship is sitting at home doing nothing because afraid to ask annoying questions i even suggested that I would gave up all my salary to the staff members if I got hired just dont blame me if i made mistakes since im introvert and with zero social skills and anxiety man this is a nightmare
Wow really that's terrible. No such thing as a annoying question. You should talk with your clinical supervisor for school. They should be trying to help you learn at the site. I wish I could talk to the guy training you. That's not cool. You shouldn't have to pay anything! They make money from the school
@@MRIMan well i been trying to get them to teach me since I feel like im annoying to them so i kept selling some of my stuff in order to buy them things like coffee everyday and cookies and cake I have impulse spending disorder and i gift too much so others can accept me at least and maybe like me sadly these things didn’t work
