I'd say that it's definitely worth it to go into the medical field. It's almost like a blessing. As someone who has worked at a public school, bank, private companies and hospitals, I can tell you that the public sector is a heaven! I've met enough people in education and healthcare constantly complaining about their lives and feeling unfulfilled, it's because they have never experienced anything worse in the private sector. The greatest thing about working in the healthcare sector is job security! Nothing is more important than that once you have your own family!

Don’t get me wrong, it’s hard, you have to be very focused in school and about half my class dropped out or failed out, but once you make it through and have worked for about a year on your own, as your own technologist picking protocols, understanding your reformats, knowing how to address certain patient conditions/habitus/magnet limitations, then it’s smooth sailing.

That’s a smart thing to do. Start with Radiology Technologist a 2 year program. That’s your foundation & then if you want go into CT or MRI. There’s options after that but also remember that with new modalities come registries. So for instance when you for for Radiology Technologist you have to pass ARRT registry & then if you decide to go for CT that’s another registry & MRI is another one so anytime you decide to move up in Radiology it comes with a registry exam.

A few tips towards a registry: Make sure you have a registered tech in the building. Make sure you have the opportunity to work with that tech, on their schedule, for a minimum of 6 months to a year. Don’t get stuck working alone. These are the mistakes I made, and I’ve wasted a decade in the field in this situation. I had people in my class get their registries and I farted around and did not take it serious. Take it serious. Any student getting into this field, find a place that will let you cross-train, even if you have to come in on your days off, DO IT! You won’t regret it.

Juan, great content dude, and i really appreciate you talking out of experience, which leads me to ask you... I'm 24, earnt an associate degree in liberal arts (not knowing what i wanted to do), then went to film school (my childhood passion) and got certified. Then decided to go back to school now, because i have so many credits that they transferred, i literally only need to pass a few classes, then jump straight into the clinicals. it's not going to take me a while to become a "Radiologist". My current plan is to get my degree in radiology, work part time as a tech and (meanwhile) study some more to become an MRI tech. I feel like having both on me (rad and mri) would shift my life. Hoping i would find a place where i can use both, and make a good living out of. What's your thought on that?

For example, there’s X-ray jobs that you can work Sat & Sunday only two 16 hour shifts & have Mon - Friday off which then gives them the opportunity to go back to school or start a business ect… but most people are not built like that so they stay & become miserable bro.

MRI is not necessarily all that physical. It depends. I worked at an outpatient facility for many years and the only physical demands were walking and lifting the coils. And they are not really that heavy. In a hospital no matter what position you will be moving patients. But with best practices you are not really 'lifting', more like dragging.

Gerald thank you for taking time out of your day to watch and comment. Hopefully you consider subscribing if you haven’t already 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Ok so this is my take on that When you go straight into MRI (which is good to know because I didn’t know that) you miss the opportunity to see what Radiology is really about which in the long run can come back and haunt you. How you ask 🤔 ok so if you went the RT route it’s 2 years and then MRI is like 3-6 months after to obtain now if you go into MRI first and then say you know what I want ti try general RT because it’s less stress well guess what you would have to do 2 years of RT school. So in my opinion I would do RT first & then MRI or CT so that way you will always have something to call back on. Great point I will make a video about this soon 🙏🏽

@anniesshenanigans3815 Жыл бұрын
The coils are placed around the body part that is to be imaged. Then the MRI has several components that generates 'waves' much like radio waves that go into the body. These waves interact with the protons in your body that generate energy (eventually) that 'waves' back out to the coil and goes to the K processor and generates a picture of a small part of that anatomy. This is repeated thousands of times in the 20 to 30 minutes of your exam to create about 150 to 200 pictures.

I went to a school in Miami for CT & you could choose CT or MRI but both were only 3 months long.

Can MRI techs still find jobs if they are ARMRIT certified vs ARRT? The program closest to me only offers ARMRIT and I’m worried
@juanmotiva8s959 Жыл бұрын
Hi 👋 Welcome Hope your subscribed 🙏🏽 Ok so I have never heard of ARMRIT so I would not go to it. Stick to ARRT because that’s the National Leader in Radiology Certification & that’s what most places look for when hiring is a ARRT certified technologist. Hope this helped & I wish you the best 🙏🏽

Is this the degree program i need to do to become MRI? Radiography Technologist, A.A.S.
@juanmotiva8s959 Жыл бұрын
Sup Kenny Welcome and I hope you consider subscribing 🙏🏽 So that my friend is the degree for general Radiology Technologist (RT) which is needed before going into MRI. So first you would go “RADIOLOGY TECHNOLOGIST, A.A.S” then after you passed your ARRT REGISTRY then you either cross-train at work into MRI or go back to school for MRI which takes another 3-6 months. That’s the only way I know ok how to become an MRI technologist.

The DC. Maryland, Virginia AKA DMV area make good money as an x-ray tech! Even Baltimore make 28-30 bux an hour as a new x ray tech and the city pay cheap as hell and that’s good pay! So DMV May start new grads with $35-$40 per hour

@juanmotiva8s959 Жыл бұрын
As long as the MRI MAGNET doesn’t pass a 1.5 Tesla you should be ok. The best place to find that out is from your physician or company that the implant was made from.

Hi Juan! I went to a radiology workshop Zoom meeting for a CC, and they said the gender ratio is more male dominated. Can you confirm if this is true based on ur experience? (not saying gender matters in this field, just curious lol)

As long as your X-RAY certified (ARRT). You can go straight to school & do MRI & CT.
@TheRosangela3811 ай бұрын
@@juanmotiva8s959 I know but that’s not my question sorry , I am a RT certified, I am thinking about going to that school in Miami but most of the jobs for MRI tech are asking for at least one year experience plus the license. So I don’t think will be easier to get a job only with a license and not experience, I work as a radiologic technologist for 20 years, but no experience in MRI.
@juanmotiva8s95911 ай бұрын
Oh ok I see But it’s smart to get the license because you want to be prepared for that opportunity. Most companies won’t hire you without a license so if you have your MRI license what that does is say ok he’s licensed let’s get him and train him. Trust me someone will give you an opportunity if you get your license. Hope this helped my friend 🙏🏽

Yo! Welcome 🙏🏽 Thank for watching Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people 🙏🏽 Ok so no LMRT are not fully accredited RT’s so they are not able to learn different modalities such as MRI, CT ect… LMRT can only do plain X-Rays & nothing else.
