Limited x ray tech?????need some info? |
has anyone been to the academy of healthcare professionals?if so...the how much does a limited x ray tech make?..is it hard to find a job???need some info Limited techs are just that.....limited. There are so many procedures that you will not be able to perform. Some of these include fluoroscopy, CT scans, portable x-rays, mammography andimaging within the surgical suite. Because of this, you will have a hard time finding a job, and I have never heard of a hospital using limited techs. I work in a free standing imaging facility, in California, and we do not employ limited techs. Most limited techs work in orthopedic offices. The pay is lower than that of a full radiologic technologist, but I cannot find an average salary. How long is the schooling for a limited tech program? A radiologic technologist program is usually two years. Is the limited program that much faster? I would advise you to try to get into an accredited program which offers radiologic technology. The website below has a list of schools, categorized by state. You might think about it! http://www.arrt.org/index.html?content=h... Source(s): I am a radiologic technologist.... limited xray techs payrate is usually around $10-$15 and it usually coincides with a job called medical assistants, like the other person said, YOU WILL NOT be able to get a job in a hospital or upgrade you position such as CT, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, Mammography, etc. and you will be paid starting much less then those of us that are in the field, in CA, i think the schools tell their new students that you can get a job as a fully license radiology tech with a starting pay rate of $22 for new grads, also these LIMITED courses last only around 6 months and yo uhave to pay a lot to graduate from them .... if you get your full license from a community college that offers fully license techs than it will actually cost less (i went to school and paid $5500 for 3 years of school at my community college and that included the program for xray and a associates degree) go to SALARY.COM and it will tell you the wage differences in your area if you are interested in getting fully licensed please check out the WWW.ARRT.ORG website , the official radiology workers website |
