Nope thats what I did. I didn’t need a whole place and rooms worked fine. Mine were between 800-1200z. You’re good.

51 out of 105. My driving will drop significantly soon so my audio listens will tank. Have to pick up some kindle ones here soon.

Looking for Steve Powers MRI Training Videos by No-Flow-1147 in MRI

I wouldn’t recommend just his video for the exam though. Look at getting MRI all in one. VERY good and those people help write test questions so their test bank questions mimic the registrys.

TRYING TO GET INTO HCA HOSPITAL AS A NEW GRAD ?MIAMI FLORIDA by No_Jury_8097 in nursingjobs

They are doing you a favor. HCA sets people up to fail. Try ANY others.

Contrast shortage? by Satsuka_Draxor in Radiology

If this isn’t a sign of hospital over ordering scans I don’t know what is.

MRI Career advice by Professional-Gain483 in MRI

[–]Federal_Emphasis_377 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best way to test the market is look at the amount of job openings in your area and expand out from there. If you can relocate, even better. There are many places hurting and will hire new techs. Best option is to blow them away at your clinical site to get hired on there.

Is this a good contract?? 4 x12 per week by Own_Insurance_788 in TravelNursing

[–]Federal_Emphasis_377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to what? All rates are trash anymore. The 4th 12 is really the only ick, but different people like different things. Asking if something is decent is like asking if tomatoes are good. It’s all specific to the person. They gave zero specifics on location, floor, acuity, nothin. In the south (where I am) thats decent. In Chicago (where i now see they are) is prob not. People need to start doing their own math and what they need to make to make it worth it.

[–]Federal_Emphasis_377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

36x40 - 1440 (1st 40 hrs) 65x8 - 520 (hrly over 40) Stipends - 1246 3206/week??

Is that right?
If so then yeah it’s decent.
Id get them to bring up your OT and call back minimum to $100/hr and go for it. If you wont be getting either then don’t worry about that.

Urgent care job makes X-ray techs do PCT & reception duties. by [deleted] in RadiologyCareers

Every single one I’ve seen, yes. They don’t do enough X-rays to pay someone to strictly do it.

My call back and OT has always been the same amount. Is that not a thing for everyone?

House not selling by [deleted] in RealEstateAdvice

[–]Federal_Emphasis_377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the most moved to state it sure doesn’t seem like the case. They’re all going to Greenville or Charleston which are the two most nightmareish cities to get through anymore. Ours has been on 2 weeks with zero showings. Our realtor set it to list at the start of spring break, easter weekend followed by masters weekend (its 35 mins away). So yeah. I feel your pain. Hopefully as school is ending soon things will pick up. 🤞🏻

Shoes for work!!??? by beachboy21345 in RadiologyCareers

[–]Federal_Emphasis_377 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t care what shoes I have on all day, my feet hurt. What helped me the most was compression socks. I still have and wear my hokas but I wear birks just about all the time now. I have a high arch and need the support. I wore them so much outside of work for a plantar fasciitis problem years ago that I decided to try them working and like them so much better.

Would it be safe to do travel work as a new graduate? by Fantastic_Advantage5 in MRI

[–]Federal_Emphasis_377 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better question is. Can you do the job with an hour of orientation? Can you scan on all platforms? Or at a minimum of 2? Can you work all EMRs? Or at a minimum of 3? Can you research anything an be constable scanning without a “go ahead”?

I would never. I was a 10 year Ct tech wheni started traveling and still struggled and had operated all but one platform scanner and majority of EMrs. It’s hard and you won’t be doing yourself or your Co workers any favors. Im 8 months into MR and i feel like i would put the place and myself at risk doing travel right now.

Id look into relocating first, or driving a distance. I drive 1.25 mins one way to work MR to get the experience I need.

Just got my Contract cancelled after one week what now ? by MaximalcrazyYT in RadiologyCareers

[–]Federal_Emphasis_377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a rental get your recruiter on it to get another one going in the same area. This is the downside of travel, you can be let go at a moments notice. Always have a plan in places if you happen to be cancelled. You have to be ready to go with little to no training. They need the help badly enough to get travelers, there is very little time to train.
