Thank you soo much! Let us know if you ever have questions. Either way your in your way to a great career. New video this Friday
@@MRIMan
Who can earn more ?
Thanks for the channel MriMan. Not many resources for MRI on RUclips. Thinking about going to Casa Loma in a couple months. This has been helpful.
+Ryan Pavey nice no problem. Ey we are have a live stream this Sunday at 10am pst . Roll threw if you can!
Cool. Passing the ARRT was probably the best moment of my life.
+123 123 Rite! at that moment I knew my life was gonna get better! we were struggling bad. That's another story. You gotta be proud of yourself completing that program!
@@MRIMan Thanks brother! I work full time 4 days a week and have a interview Monday for a prn position. Life is good!
@@user-bq8fg1yz4s did u find a job
@@MRIMan do you recommend doing the arrt or armrit?
@@MRIMan how old were you when you started? How long did it take you from start to finish for associates and mri program clinical etc?
Thank you both, I enjoy very much listening to the video. Gabby I dont know you but I am so very proud of you girl. Hope you enjoying now all your hard work during your MRI school days. God bless
We are happy you enjoyed the video! . My wife says thanks and she is doing great! We appreciate it! God bless you too!
Thank you both for taking youre time to do this! It is truly a blessing to have had these videos to watch.
Iam happy you enjoyed the videos!
Thank you so much. I just applied to MRI program and doing the career change. I'm very nervous because this is my first time being in the healthcare field.
Awesome! We were all new at some point. As long as you love what you do. You will be fine
@@MRIMan what’s your best advice for a person doing a career change and going to MRI field?
Facts, Missing 1 day of school whether lecture or lab is a big miss and especially in healthcare
+lony walnut seriously it get you behind!
I greatly appreciate this video with Gabby. Great tips & insight.
I'm about to finish my clinical hours & then it's off to take my ARMRIT. My greatest concerns are...
1) starting IV's or doing scans that required injecting contrast(because at my clinical site there were so few patients that needed contrast)...
2) learning how to adjust parameters for each patient.
Will an imaging center that hires me be willing to instruct me on these two concerning things?
Don't worry. Things will flow accordingly and you will adjust.
@@Mrmiter-lk4rd Thank you for reaching out! 👍🍺
Love this man! You help me in so many ways you can’t imagine with the videos!
+AngleKun Happy I can help! thanks for your support!
Thank you guys for all the information you guys provide. God bless y’all!
Thanks for showing love to our channel! 🙏🏾
So glad i found your channel. Thank you for this resource. Also, where did you do your clinicals and which lab did you go to? I mean, where was it located? and are you and gabby still at the same locations where you were first hired? And how much are you both making?
So helpful! Thank you both
+Kalena Glad we can help !
Thank you guys for these informative videos ❤
Glad you like them!
Is there a lot of mental calculations(math,physics) while actually working the job? I know you have to maintain anatomy knowledge and positioning, but what about doing calculations?
no math really doing the job itself. The computer does it. Some parameters have to be changed here and their
@@MRIMan thanks for the response 👍
Good stuff man, super informative. Keep them coming :)
+Alyssa Peneyra 🙏thank you!!
How many chapters were in an exam? When i had tried nursing it was like 10 chapters for the first exam.
Thank you Gabby and Kwame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so insightful!
Glad you liked the video! Thanks !
I just got accepted into Gurnick Academy MRI program just started on my GE classes which GE would you say are the most important to focus on to make sure I will succeed in the core classes?
can you do a video on vocational schools to go to
My favorite video of your so far 👌🏼
+fishyKRIMINAL Thanks ! Alotra work went into this one. I appreciate the positive feedback!
Another video less goo!!!! Handsome man on the loose giving us information!!! Lesss gooooo!!!!!!! Lol
how soon after working were you able to repay loans? im nervous about the debt
At the time I went it was 30,000. Like 6 years
So, X-Ray, Sonography, MRI, CT are all specialties in the job of a Radiologic technologist? That’s kind of what I am assuming. I just now started to try and learn about the field but all I heard about was Radiologic technologist. Now I’m hearing about the “modalities” I think that’s what you call it. That’s basically the specialties within Radiologic Technologist, is that correct?
I live in Northern California, San Jose area. I’m looking into Foothill college in Palo Alto. That school seems to have a pretty solid reputation.
MRI, CT and X-RAY fall under Rad Tech, Sonography does not. I also heard Gurnick is decent too.
@@MRIMan Okay, I've never heard of that place, I'm going to have to check it out. Thank you.
@@MRIMan so you have to be a Rad Tech to be a MRI tech?
Thanks so much Gabby and Kwame! Will MRI Techs be required to get the covid vax, or will it be optional?
+C Suinn as far as I know , nothing yet! It's still optional but management would like everyone to get the vaccine. Thanks for watching as always!
What is general entry level pay/salary for MRI techs in California? Google is not always realistic with the numbers...
Depends on county and city 30 to 40$$$
@@MRIMan Oh interesting. When I googled MRI salary in CA it says in the $80k per year range. Is this wrong?
Did you guys work while in the MRI program? What is your advice for people that need a job at the same time? I am trying to get into gurnick academy for MRI and would like some advice on that!
I did work full-time as a phlebotomist, and went to school for MRI on the weekend. The other half of the classes were online. I went to Casa loma college . My advice would be to do the school partially online soo you could still work. I'm not gonna lie it's hard but we'll worth it.
Hi Brandy! Have you started at Gurnick? If so, how was the process? I’ve been thinking about MRI school and might register there.
@@nancylo5567 hi Nancy! Unfortunately, I applied through the LVN program at gurnick instead. But for the MRI program, to apply, you would get with an admissions advisor where they will schedule a call with you for about 30 mins to see what pre-requisite classes you need to take or transfer credits from. Then you apply, take an entrance exam which is timed 15 mins (50 questions) but they only count the right answers so answer as many as you can lol then, go thru registration process and then the last step is a panel interview. The mri program there is full time. And I just wasn’t able to work it out with my job. But I hope this info helps, you would just need to talk to an admissions advisor and they will definitely help you out!
Great interview
very informative!! I didn't know MRI Techs start IVs as well. I live in So. California were jobs are really competitive. My question is regarding landing your first job. Was it easy to find one? Is it cut throat? Also do some schools offer job placement? According to BLS there is about 2,700 projected jobs available. Compare that to respiratory therapists at 26,000 it seems like a tough field to land your first job especially as a new grad. Thanks in advance.
+classicda9 Thanks for commenting! it took me about 3 months to find a job after school. They didn't hire me at my clinical externship! they hired this other student smh well he was able to stay more hours than me because he didn't have a job. I wouldn't call it cut throat haha. Yes the school actually really helped me find a job! I think as a new grad you gotta be willing to travel or relocate in the beginning just to get some experience. If you really want to be a technologist I wouldn't let that intmediate you. Just make sure it's something you know you will enjoy. Does Respiratory tech interest you?
It shows 2,870 now :) going up :D
thank you for the video. would you know if ultrasound tech is more difficult than becoming an mri tech?
Honestly I don't know!
Sup MRI Man, big ups to you and your wifey. Trip out, I used to work at Target too! Lol
+George H the red and khaki haha we had fun working their while in school. You ever work black Fridays? its crazy haha
@@MRIMan Haha, naw, I never worked there on Black Friday. Truth be told, I ended up getting fired though! Lmao! Did a lot of stupid things as a youngster.
THIS WAS DOPE BRO
Thank you!!!!
Thank you guys this is gold for me💯👌🏽
+Cesar Savage ey glad you liked It! My first interview actually! Had alot of thought into it
What was the website called? MRI QUIZ? Please let me know! Thanks
www.mriquiz.com great site
Very informative! I would like to know next time about Continuing education credits and how to achieve that.
Thanks!
Actually pretty insightful for people who're about to start their career! I'm considering myself that too even tho I'm an extreme beginner about to start college 😅
That's OK! Do your research, you are on the rite path
What do you need to get in roll in this program? At that college? You need to pass an entrance exam?
We took a small entrance exam , nothing major
So informative, thank you
Glad it helped!
How's the school workload? Is there any math involved? If not, what's the hardest part of the study? Thanks.
Alotta work! Test every week! Some math in physics but not too much. It is definitely challenging but is possible with dedication
does MRI quiz present the information as an animated slide show or just text?
Both and it has mock exams, it's great!
While learning IVs in MRI school do classmates practice on each other or on dummies?
We practiced ivs on each other! Some schools may have the dummies
@@MRIMan That's mind-blowing! I admire the dedication you have for your channel; thank you for giving us insight into the field of radiography.
No problem! I'm glad you like the channel! I actually have a video on how to do iv's ! I actually get stuck for the video haha
What is taught in mri physics? Is their labs done?
How are MRI images are created, how scan time is calculated, different tradeoffs that affect mri images such as FOV , pixels size and slice thickness.
Thank you. Great information!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this!
+xxiiSparkklexx what's up! I'm happy you liked it! My first interview. I really put work in this one and was planned about 2 months ago
Does it have any waiting list for mri program please?
Possibly now idk you have to call the school you want to go to
Im a lpn... and im not happy after 8 years. I was thinking of going for rn.. but I think I want something new. Anywho... is there a difference between arrt and amrit as far as finding a job?
+Liana ARRT is widely recognized and has been around longer than ARMRIT. Most hospitals prefer ARMRIT, that's about it.
Anyone know of any schools in or around Nashville TN I can’t find anything
No sorry
@@MRIMan I actually just got accepted yesterday to start at the end of this year the two schools I found are south college and a program through Nashville general hospital here in Nashville
Im thinking about it. she says go for it
Go for it!
Wow good video mri man and mri woman
+Today was Pretty I always appreciate you !
Is general physics a prerequisite?
MRI physics is
If you go to MRI program, graduate and pass arrt, can you also do venipuncture certification?
Venipuncture is included in the program
Oh nice! Then you can just go take an exam so you can be certified in venipuncture, right? I saw some hospitals require a venipuncture certification for MRI tech.
Yes that's correct!
Thank you was helpful, my question is can we get job easily in
MRI field.
.
+Zohreh Marashy Depends on where your at! Took me 3 to 4 months to find a job and my wife got hired from her clinical site. I think if your willing to move the faster you'll find a job.
@@MRIMan thanks a lot, I’m in medical field now, I’ll see I hop got it soon
You can’t do 18 a day it takes 45 minutes just to a scan - MRI is a cash cow for the medical establishment- not required in most cases
Any input on the bull shit Maine health told me about my mris. I was told nothing wrong here, i just have to not stress so much.
👌🏼thank you
Forsure!
How many years she took to became a mri tech?
+rizwan. zayn 2 years!
Was your wife great in math when she went into this?
+Lisa Melendez she is pretty good at math. My math on the other hand was not good but I did pretty good at MRI physics. I think they key is learning multiple ways to do the physics problems. Like asking others on how they doit. You also have to have some interest in doing the physics! eybwe are have a live video this Sunday 2/28 at 10am pst . Join us ! ruclips.net/video/GC86p5FDmUg/видео.html
@@MRIMan thank you! ☺️
Do you think 36 years old is too old to get into the medical field?
No way I know someone who became a xray tech at 50 and they are great at there job
@@MRIMan great to hear. I’m going for this in the fall
Yeh go for it. Live a healthy lifestyle and excercise. You may already idk but as we get older it helps to stay in shape!. Iam 34
What if you’re 45? I’m debating about learning about radiology and becoming an MRI tech. I’ve found a MRI program but it is a one year deal. Is that normal? I’m asking cause your wife said it took her 2 years.
