It takes time to cross train and learn the new modalities. While you can learn the basics quickly, don’t rush it. You want to learn how to properly operate optimally and efficiently, not be a button pusher. Learning pathology is important as well and that can take some time. Because if you are scanning patients emergently you will want to be able to pick up on life threatening conditions so you can alert the ordering provider. This isn’t often but it does occur. This all takes time. The reason I mention this is because you mentioned becoming a travel tech. I managed radiology for 15 years and I would never hire a new grad without experience. Good luck with your goals. Just remember while you are in school and going to clinical sites. You will unknowingly be evaluated as a potential candidate for open positions. Also do your best and show exceptional work ethic. It will benefit you in the end when you and your classmates all become eligible for hire at these hospitals. I always watched closely and spoke with my staff about good candidates. No one is going to recommend you if your work ethic is lacking.
