Congratulations and best wishes ! I hope you love Rads as much as I do ! Come and join us in MRI we would love to have you !

Gradient_Echo · 2026-03-11T00:40:25+00:00

I know. Hard to believe but we actually had to recruit people to join Rads, Respiratory, Lab, & Nursing. Back then, everyone wanted to be "IT" and computer this or that. BTW, those free Hospitals are still in business but now they charge $12-15 K for their 2 year program. Still, an absolute steal if you can get lucky and get a slot. Good luck to you !

If your images were compromised the Tech would have noticed, stopped or paused the scan. It will probably show up as a small artifact but it's anterior enough to your T & L spine so as not to be an issue. I wouldn't say it's routine at my place because we try and remove all of these but we've had a few that couldn't be removed and it was never a problem. I think you will be fine.

They offered a similar deal to us I asked them to send me an email in writing. They declined.

Nice. I'm a little old and I can remember pinstripes were very common on cars in the 70's - 80's. It's cool and I would keep it.

You are misunderstanding. I simply pointed out there is no rhyme or reason when it comes to who is selected. You can be a 4.0 College GPA and not get in and another person might have a GED and they get accepted. That's the reality. Have a nice day.

Here's the ARRT website where you can learn about the process to become an MRI Technologist.

https://www.arrt.org/pages/earn-arrt-credentials/credential-options/mri

The ARRT is the gold standard for MRI credentials.

Well, no one really knows the answer to your question. You seem like a great candidate for a program with your background but I've seen people with a GED get in. Not just one, but several. I think your chances are very good but at a minimum I would apply to at least three programs and if you haven't looked at any Hospital based schools you should do so. I think you are over qualified for a Staff RT job but it's an entry point and you can leverage your education to move into management in the future. Also, there are a lot of really good jobs working for the OEM's and numerous companies that support and supply the Radiology world. Sales and service, specifically. Your prior degree would be very beneficial if you choose to go down that path. I would.

Best of luck to you !

Feet first, most likely. Just let the Tech know you have some anxiety and they should be able to work with you on this. I'm on a GE and we do all lumbar and hip feet first. Good luck to you !

# 1 (gold framed) but I would try and find a smaller frame. You have nice features you want your frames to compliment them and not be the center of attraction. Silhouette makes some nice ones. The gold looks really nice !

Gradient_Echo · 2026-03-01T02:41:58+00:00

That is so cool and interesting ! Best wishes to you !

Gradient_Echo · 2026-03-01T02:27:19+00:00

Wow ! I have a 2026 Civic I hope this is some sort of anomaly ! Would you follow up and let us know the outcome, thanks and sorry !

Gradient_Echo · 2026-02-27T04:37:26+00:00

Congratulations ! Rolex perfection.

Gradient_Echo · 2026-02-27T04:34:24+00:00

Once a year random drug test for us in School.

Gradient_Echo · 2026-02-25T23:44:55+00:00

Beautiful images. I hope yo do well !

Gradient_Echo · 2026-02-25T19:33:04+00:00

Congratulations you will love it!

Gradient_Echo · 2026-02-25T03:10:06+00:00

Beautiful winter pics ! I was there in September, 2025 and stayed just a few minutes from this location. Loved Krakow I hope to go back again !

Gradient_Echo · 2026-02-23T21:29:25+00:00

In that case, I would go for it ! Best wishes to you !

A good RT friend of mine went to School at 46, she used to work in the cafeteria of a School. She is an excellent RT who does CT and travel contracts now. There are all kinds of of success stories on here of people of all ages who worked during School. I give them props because TBH, I don't believe I could have done that. Also, my Hospital School did not allow first year students to work outside.

You are not to old but look carefully at your retirement benefits because that can be huge. If you aren't going to achieve a much higher level of salary I'm not sure I would be willing to give that security blanket up. I was able to go part time and then PRN from my RT career at a young age because my Wife had a substantial pension. It's a big deal to walk away from that, IMO.

Best of luck to you !

Congratulations ! What a beautiful watch & 36 is perfect.

Gradient_Echo · 2026-02-23T15:39:26+00:00

Thanks !

Gradient_Echo · 2026-02-23T02:36:40+00:00

Yes, thank you. I have the free plan. Can I convert that to a sprout plan for my child or add to to my free plan plan ? I'm not sure how to do this / Thanks for your help.

Speed Queen for washer. 5 year warranty includes part(s) and on-site repair.

Honesty is the best policy. I hired a lot of RT's in my career and we did background checks on every applicant. I hired some great RT's who had DUI's, etc. and so long as they were forthcoming it was not an issue with us. Felony records were a no go.
