You can be an RN with 2 years of school too.
true, but most hospital (at least in PA) require having a bachelors. so you can start with associates but you will have to continue schooling. a huge reason why i stuck with x-ray.
@@stephakay44Not in NY. In NY to work in a hospital, group home, school, prison, outpatient center, etc, you only need 2 years to become a RN.
Hey Kayla! I am actually a Radiology Scheduler. I schedule patients with the Modalities of MA, DX, FL, US, MRI and CT, and general XRs. There is so much you have to learn to schedule those and the general information behind each since I’m the first point of contact for patients.
What experience did you have to get the role?
@@ValenciaRose. I live in Oklahoma. This might vary from state to state, but you have to have a high school diploma or GED. Be able to comprehend terms such as the ones above as far as their definitions go. A few things. The company is in multiple stages it’s called RADNET based out of California.
I’m a CNA trying to figure out which route to go I’m just ready to advance now.
Did u consider Sonography school as well?
Most people will not agree with me or my EMT partner, but everyone has a different opinion. My partner became an EMT to see if she likes the medical field. Obviously, of course she did. She applied numerous of times for nursing school and nothing. Finally, she got into nursing last year I think, and she's almost there. Many people tell me to go to nursing school, however, I have a different plan by applying for paramedic school to become a firefighter-paramedic. Everyone has a different path. Keep in mind, don't think you're better than other medical personnel. I've witnessed some CT, X-rays, and MRI techs think they're better. However, they sadly don't know what to do when a pt goes unresponsive. Why? Bc one MRI tech wasn't paying attention to the pt while getting a scan. Thirty minutes later, once they pulled the pt out, the pt was unresponsive. The tech stated the last time the pt was conscious was 30 minutes ago..yeah..no bueno. I've got into it with that tech because she thought she knew more than me. Of course, she's under investigation because this was her third pt who became unresponsive.
You look soooo good
You remind me of azzyland, a youtuber
X-ray school is for those who couldn’t make it in nursing school. nursing school is way more competitive, and pays more.
I couldn’t disagree more. To each his own. The money isn’t the most important when choosing a career. If you don’t love what you do, nothing is worth it. This is a great video with some good information. I don’t get the message this person thinks she’s better than anyone. She seems to be very open and honest about why SHE chose her career path. 😊👍
That is not always true. Most, if not all, healthcare programs are 2 years. The requirements are a little different though. Nursing prerequisites aren't that difficult either (typically just bio and chem, with an english and math class) and the acceptance rate is higher with larger classes and multiple enrollment dates. My nursing program has a waitlist with like 4 different enrollments - they're always looking for students and they're always guaranteed a spot at some point. My X-Ray and Sonography programs are extremely competitive and only do enrollments once a year. The Sonography program requires harder prerequisites than Nursing and X-Ray as well. The jobs themselves are very different than Nursing. One is not better than the other.
Man nursing sucks I was going into nursing cause my moms a nurse but then while being a LVN I got bit, kicked screamed at so I’m going into radiology tech and it makes 70k and if you get certifications you can make even more so it’s better than nursing imo
@@earthangel18 I could never do nursing. I don't want to work with patients on that level... and you always hear that nurses are underpaid for all the work they do. Rad and ultrasound techs make similar pay and I'd rather do "less" or be involved with a different patient setting than nursing lol. I would only go into nursing if my goal was to work in a specialty like plastic surgery or aesthetic nurse injector. I would never settle being in a hospital setting with crazy patients. I always hear from nurses that they regret it and wish they went into sonography but I've never heard sonographers say they wish they got into nursing!
i would much rather be in radiology than nursing, and they can pay ab the same depending on which modalities you have.
Great info in this video!
