@bryantaragon2922 good question. Rates vary depending on contract. I’ve seen everywhere from 1900/week to 34-3500/wk and sometimes more. Keep in mind that these weekly rates may include housing stipend built in so always be sure to figure out the cost of housing in the area prior to signing a contract.

@Bryant Aragon short answer, yes. But you can do it! And I don’t say that to discourage, I say it that way to help anyone thinking X-ray school is a cakewalk to be prepared. The coursework is serious and practical. Everything learned is expected to be immediately applied in clinic. Some schools have a strict policy on grades. The school I went to would place a student on academic probation for failing just one midterm.. mess up on a final and you would be in jeopardy of losing your spot in the school. I’ll be sure to elaborate on this topic in a future post.

@Joel for sure! All the best to you and your travels #XrayGang

@@adventuresofaradtech8399 Thank you! ✊️

@Xavier Williams lol yea bro it’s the same ol’ G.

@@adventuresofaradtech8399 Damn what a dope experience

@Ace thanks for checking out the channel, be sure to like and subscribe! The best way to officially join the X-ray Gang is to definitely find a great program in your area. One that already has an affiliation with a local hospital where you can get clinical done. Also, check the program registry pass rate 🔑 cause that registry ain’t no joke. But with proper preparation you’ll be more than ready. Plan for about 2 years of dedication just to X-ray- CT/ MRI with require more studying and another cert. Best wishes to you in all your endeavors- I will say that if you want to travel then you’ve got all the motivation to handle all the challenges X-ray school will bring 💪🏾

@Chris W oh ABSOLUTELY. It’s one of the many flexes I love about travel. In between contracts I may book a vacations or just regroup back in my home state. During that time however I still keep my ears to the street, stay in contact with my recruiter/agency and book my next assignment when I’m ready. I talk more about this in my next vlog, be sure to like and subscribe to the channel! Go ahead and join the gang…#XrayGangGang that is…💪🏾💀

Hey @DeJuanOT I do. And it’s not easy… but it can be done! It takes a real strong family network, a partner who is willing to cooperate and work towards a specific outcome worth the sacrifice and BIG trust. This may be something I touch on in an upcoming video. #xraygang

Im going to school to become an MRI tech and the pay for travel work is very tempting. I have a 9month old and my partner is a barber so he has a very flexible schedule, I wonder if it’s recommendable for me to look into travel work. I live in Ca, I’m willing to travel in state so I can be close to baby.

@@michellemmm4028 it sounds like a really good option! As I said, with a good support system for childcare in place, goals set and timelines understood I think it’s do-able. The full time jobs in your local area will always pop up on the radar. Most of everyone’s fear is coming back home/off the road. I’m here to tell you there is nothing to fear! Demand is up everywhere and good techs are hard to find. Make your moves 💪🏾💪🏾 show ‘‘em how the gang gets to the bag lol…#XrayGang that is

I really want to do this for Ct especially with that 9k+ a month pay. I do have a family and children and have a goal to pay off my vehicle and home within 5 years. It’s very doable but I’d like some thoughts or responses on how folks have done it.

I’ve been traveling as a CRCST for 5 years and I am a mother, a wife, and full time student. I can tell you that you truly have to have a support system if your children will not be traveling with you. As a mother who is away from her child/ren, be ready for ppl to talk down on you for “leaving your child/children” behind. At the end of the day, those ppl are not paying your bills nor taking care of your children so ignore what ppl got to say because most of the time they wish they can be you making money and have an awesome support system. Good luck with the travels!

@James Shellhamer I appreciate bro, I do this for all of us that techs looking for a little light at the end of that X-ray school tunnel lol trust me, the sky gets a little blue-r and the trees look a little greener after graduation. Stay locked in, like and subscribe to the channel for more upcoming content from all of my travels. Join the gang, #XrayGang 💪🏾that is.

@Aliya Moody that sounds like the game plan right there! I would go ahead and encourage to push and get that Bachelors in Radiologic Science if they offer it 🔑 💪🏾when I started X-ray school I already had an undergrad degree. After graduating I did a one year program at a community college that taught CT. I talk a little bit more about my story in an upcoming post so be sure to like and subscribe to the channel! Join the gang💪🏾#XrayGangGang that is…

@Tonya Williams for a first time traveler I would say be brave… don’t be too worried about where that first assignment takes you (unless it’s like Anchorage Alaska lol). Trust your skills and know that CT is CT everywhere you go. Know what you know*. Pack light, you will accumulate things - ship stuff home at the end of the contract cause airlines be charging for overweight bags- facts. But most importantly like and subscribe to this channel for all the travel info. Best wishes and much success to you in your travels. Check out my articles on LinkedIn as well- I go through some details there. #XrayGangGang 🤟🏾

@Irina Khlopov my bad on the delayed response but I was trying to understand your question when I realized that you probably meant to write "training" instead of "tracing" - its all good though. To answer your question, yes they will train you at each location, but only minimal or enough to know your way around the department. And yes they expect you to know everything lol I mean you should definitely know your routine exams. The more experienced you are the better. As a travel professional I kind of think of myself as a hitman for hire- somebody who can come in and get busy right away. It shouldn't take me too long to adjust to their style of work or department flow- honestly your lucky if they give you two weeks of on site "training" or department orientation. Never expect the hospital that you show up at to TEACH you how to scan- if you pick up some skills there and some techs are good enough to show you some things then awesome, add it to your toolbelt- but never expect anyone to teach you how to scan. I go into this topic more in an upcoming post. Be sure to like and subscribe!

ooh slick-i-anna over there lol I like that. Seems like the need for available and competent personnel has shifted that "50mile" rule around. I remember when I wanted to do a local travel gig near my hometown and the travel company that had the job said they no longer procured local short distance assignments...."some say Prince was whack..but now is that the case?" -A Tribe Called Quest

Hey @Nicolette thx for checking out the channel! I get this question a lot, and it’s really tough to answer because contracts vary ie. Strike contracts etc. When I tell people a realistic base pay expectation, they say “that’s it? I thought travelers were making good money!?”.. but when I inform them that a super high hourly rate may get them in some tax hot water if they’re not careful they hesitate with fear and no longer want to travel. Check out my article I wrote a few years back via linked in and I think you’ll find out exactly what I mean.

@KingSuveon roll out bro! Lol btw check the resignation notice policy at your place. Some have changed it to 30 days- that’s really how I took that PTO L when I first started. But to tell you the truth, for where I was in Cali, the pay, the experiences and my housing? Lmao they could keep it all again, it was all worth it. Don’t forget to like and subscribe!

@@adventuresofaradtech8399 thanks for your sincere answers!! Looking forward to hearing your story you are a Pioneer in a travel rad KZbin please share your experience with us ! Thanks

Can I ask what agency you use? I am trying to find a good one and I’m just starting out so it’s a little overwhelming seeing all the different ones and trying to learn about all the cost/bill pays and everything!

Wassup sis! Lol

Whoo extension contract…hold up tho…did you ask/negotiate an extension bonus? 🤔🤫 most people don’t know that it’s even possible- and sometimes the agency won’t tell you. I got more game like this in store for everyone, definitely subscribe and stay tuned!

@@adventuresofaradtech8399 Yes ! They gave me more money on my stipends and raise my hourly too. Is there an additional bonus ??

@@spiccyshanera8935 Nice job 👍🏾 looks like you’re making a good impression on them and they want you to stick around. Only other thing I would say is to make sure to work in your desired days off into the contract during renegotiation. *Pro tip- It’s a nice way to set up vacay while on assignment, I’ll post my Cabo vids soon lol On Gang 🤟🏾

@@adventuresofaradtech8399 Thanks for the tip ! & Can’t wait tot see the Cabo trip 🤟🏼🤟🏼

Ooo with the trauma experience before travel 👍🏾 that’s gonna get you far. It shows you know how to handle high stress exams while also maintaining the protocol standards. I love trauma and on one of my assignments I worked in a level 2 trauma hospital on an outside CT machine that was in a trailer!! Lol best times of my life lol s/o Salinas, CA Natividad por vida!
