  1. Radiation Exposure

    NEradtech replied to rn.d86's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Your radiation dosage is very very very minuscule if you wear your lead apron and collar. Like the first poster said, it's heavily regulated and monitored. If rad techs can do it for a career and...

  2. Confused guy seeking help

    NEradtech replied to Mr. Confused's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do not go to any field in medical imaging. Every modality (radiation therapy, radiography, ultrasound, etc) is saturated nationwide. Doesn't matter if you have a bachelors if you can't get experience...

  3. ASN With Second Degree

    NEradtech replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Students

    If you're looking for a cheap ABSN, try george mason in DC. Under 18K for instate and 45K out of state. VCU is another one. Just move to Virginia, lots of cheap RN degree options and a decent job...

  4. ASN With Second Degree

    NEradtech replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Students

    Which state are you in? I have a bachelors in x-ray tech and will be going to a community college in Virginia for my ADN for less than 3.5K. Almost all of VA CC's ADN has an articulation agreement...

  5. Interested in Radiography

    NEradtech replied to fcp4life's topic in Radiology

    I graduated last May with bachelor's degree in rad tech and will be starting an ADN program this fall. To answer your question, starting a rad tech program is not a good stepping stone to become a...

  6. RN MSN programs..

    NEradtech replied to Kaytayxx's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You should look into George Washington University. They have an ADN to MSN pathway that's completely online except for a few campus meetings throughout the whole program. They have multiple...

  7. MCI nursing newport news

    NEradtech replied to Lexi695's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Have you looked at Rappahannock CC? It's a little farther from Newport News but still doable. They have clinical sites at sentAra williamsburg and riverside in NN. They have guaranteed admissions for...

  8. possible career change advice? leave nursing for rad tech/x-ray school?

    NEradtech replied to ontarionurze's topic in Canada

    I don't know how the market is in Canada but in the U.S. (nationwide) it's very difficult to get a job as a new rad tech grad. If you think about it, hospitals only need a handle of rad techs to...

  9. Possible second degree in Nursing?

    NEradtech replied to Happydays101's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes. Especially since I received a bachelor's, thinking that it'll be more marketable than the typical associate's. It's only more marketable if you have experience to go along with it, then you can...

  10. Possible second degree in Nursing?

    NEradtech replied to Happydays101's topic in Nursing Career

    I am in the same boat as you, except my BS degree was in x-ray. I just wanted to chime in and say do not go into a radiography program!! There are no jobs for new rad tech grads unless you have...

  11. J Sargeant Reynolds, a good program?

    NEradtech replied to NEradtech's topic in Virginia Nursing

    So I'm answering my own question of "Is Reynolds a good school?" For me, it's a fat NO! I was kicked out of the program after the first day of classes due to an admissions error and miscommunication,...

  12. J Sargeant Reynolds, a good program?

    NEradtech replied to NEradtech's topic in Virginia Nursing

    You did a lot better than I did. My overall score was a 71. I took it on the very last day to submit applications for spring 2015 so I think I just got lucky and they still had spots available. If you...

  13. J Sargeant Reynolds, a good program?

    NEradtech replied to NEradtech's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Congrats! Yes, I'll be at the orientation tomorrow. I didn't find out until the 22nd by phone so I had to scrambled to get everything in. So hectic! I wish there were more people too. I thought there...
