Sep 8, 201114 yr Hello, Could anyone tell me where I can get an EEG or END associates degree, certificate or training? Preferably in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Thanks :)
Sep 11, 201114 yr The ASET website has information about schools and programs. It looks like the closest 2 year degree program is in Waco, TX, at McLennan Community College.http://www.aset.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3584You may also want to keep your eyes out for posting for END/EEG/NCS/EMG techs on job posting sites and work any connections at area neuro practices. I worked as an END tech for 5 years prior to nursing school. I heard about a job opening through word of mouth and was trained on the job. Then I took the national registration exam in NCS one year later, which work paid for.
Sep 12, 201114 yr Author Thanks Zucchetto!! I'm working towards my BSN, but would like to start working in a hospital setting. I'd like to specialize in neurology/neuro OR; I figured becoming an EEG Tech would be a good start. I heard some hospitals do on the job training, but most hospitals now require some education/experience in neuro. You did exactly what I'd like to do. Did you have any training/education in END prior to working as an END Tech? Any information would be helpful. Thanks again for your input :)
Sep 12, 201114 yr I had zero experience! I had a degree in Philosophy and had been working as a secretary in Neurology before I started as a tech. It was an outpatient setting, so that might have made a difference, but I know my hospital's neurophysiology department does train techs with no experience in EEG/EP/IOM. I am also in a smaller metropolitan area than you are, though.
