Set the foundation first.
Thank you so much, I was looking so hard to find a sonography program to just jump right into. But what you said about going into RT first to build the foundation first makes alot of sense.
My goal is to become a Sonographer, but with RT you have to learn similar aspects of it such as anatomy, medical imaging, patient care, etc.
Great video❤

Did my RT years ago. Learned to do MRI and CT on the job. Don't get a degree just doing MR. No need for MRI or CT school at all. Got MR, CT, and IR done early on. MR is my primary, and I like to work PRN in trauma as RT. And I teach physics at the community College. Xray has been good to me

Interesting! No where around me offers MRI schooling without going for RT first. I just started doing ore reqd to get into the RT program at the school near me. My end goal is definitely MRI, but having the basics is definitely better because i can transition into so many different things. I feel like I'll definitely find the right fit for me in my 2nd year rotations when i get to work in different areas,and maybe ill learn the MRI isn't what i want to do. I just think MRIs are so cool, its definitely something i want to at least try.
Hi 👋
Welcome & thank you for watching/supporting i appreciate you 🙏🏽
Subscribe, watch & like my videos so much great insight into the medical field world 🙂
Yes it’s definitely smarter to set your foundation with general RT & then go into different modalities like MRI & CT.
This video was extremely helpful right now I’m debating about going straight to a MRI school or taking the RT program. I’m now leaning towards RT because I like the idea of starting a foundation and building off of it like you said. My question is tho once you pass the RT program what jobs are immediately available in a hospital setting with that certification? Assuming one doesn’t go back to school for MRI or CT etc.
Thanks!

Welcome bro 🙏🏽
Hope you subscribed & like it helps my UA-cam algorithm 🙏🏽
Ok so as soon as your done with the RT Program the hospitals you rotate through will jump hoops to hire you!
There’s a need in all medical professions!
You will have plenty of jobs to choose from & then you can make a solid decision if you want to purse MRI or CT or BOTH!
Great info thank you

Ive been up super late for the past 3 days trying to figure out whether i want to do MRI TECH or RAD TECH. Your video made it click for me. I just havbe a question, after i finish RAD and get certified, how long is school to get into the MRI modality? I really want to do MRI as its the most interesting to me because of the physics, but i just want to know how i can pursue MRI after. Love your videos btw, your info and insights are really helpful!

I think ultrasound is it's own 2 Year program
Reason for most guys like myself who don't want to do RT first is because of pre reqs and mri schools do not require any pre reqs none at all. Pre reqs is time wasted
Well not really time wasted if you don’t know what your getting yourself into. It’s always good to have options plus if you go straight to MRI school & say you don’t like it …then what? 🤔
@juanmotiva8s959 im mostly speaking for dudes in their 30s , 40s , and 50s. Even if we end up not liking it, we will suck it up and finish it. As an adult in this age range, you just suck it up and do it for your family. Chase the bag !
@@Fuzzie22 To each their own bro ✊🏽
No one has to listen to me I have already made it and I’m good 🤷🏽♂️
I’m just here giving free game 💯
@@juanmotiva8s959 i aint knocking you for your success my G. Im just trying to say some options wont work out for most of us thats all. and i thank you for giving us free game and being real about it.
This is good dialogue. Thank you for both sharing your own thoughts. I’m 29 years old, no kids but in a committed relationship and we have a mortgage. I’m trying to get in the field the fastest but would like a strong foundation if I transition from talent acquisition.
Hey man just started following your channel, I’m working on the prerequisites now so I can get into my states community college RT program next year hopefully. I’m wondering though which modality do you recommend after the base? I was thinking MRI or ultrasound, but would love to know your input?
Yo!
Welcome 🙏🏽
Thank you for your support I truly appreciate you.
Also follow me on INSTAGRAM “JuanMotiv8’s” type that in you’ll find me.
Dm there and I will give you the right information 🙏🏽
I’m a retired military vet at 50 and I’m going back to school and wondering which you would suggest X-ray or mri? Thanks for the knowledge

First off THANK YOU for your service I/we appreciate you 🇺🇸 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching & supporting please subscribe, watch & like my videos tons of valuable information that no other channel gives you.
Ok so both are 2 years but X-ray is more stressful & physically demanding.
It’s hard to explain so if you need more information please follow me on Instagram “JReactzTV” Dm me it’s you and I can help you more in depth with insightful information 🙏🏽

@juanmotiva8s959 I don't have a tiktok brother. Do you have the video posted on IG or FB?
Hi Juan!, I’m soon going into a radiology program and im trying to decide which route I should take,you said that if we were to go through the route of taking MRI first, which is 2 years, and then go into X-ray, which would be an additional 2 years, total up to 4 years. But if I was to take X-ray first and then go into MRI,CT,Ultrasound (one of those three), wouldn’t it still be a total of 4 years?
Hello
Welcome 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching
Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my Videos it helps the channel reach more people 🙏🏽
Ok so:
If you go to MRI first which is 2 years & you don’t like it & you choose Radiology Technologist 2nd than it will be an additional 2 years.
If you choose Radiology Technologist 1st once your certified you can go back to MRI & it will only take 3 months here in FL.
Also, follow me on TikTok under same name “Juanmotiv8s” help me grow it so I can go live and answer questions right away 🙏🏽
Hope this helped 🙏🏽
Everyone I speak to that does Xray says they wish they could of went straight to MRI

Ok so have you ever worked in Radiology or MRI?
If not then it’s hard to say that because I been in the field for over 13 years and it’s honestly 50/50 some MRI techs like it and some don’t because they are over worked and the on-call is tough. Again everyone is different & if you think MRI is the way then try it but also if you pay attention most MRI men are bald 👀 not sure if it’s the magnetic 🧲 resonance that makes there hair fall off but pay close attention & make you decision wisely 👀
Hope this helped 🙏🏽
@@juanmotiva8s959Is that really true? Most MRI tech’s are bald? $hit you scared me fam.
Can someone please explain me what is the difference between MRI technologist and Radiologist Technologist? And which is one is the better one? I heard if you study only MRI technologist, you can only work with MRI. But if you study Radiation technologist you can learn MRI and it’s easier to transfer to MRI, is that true? Thank you to anyone responding.
Yo!
Welcome 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching
Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people 🙏🏽
Ok so yes if you go into MRI first and you didn’t enjoy it then you will have to go to Radiology Technologist school for 2 years.
If you go to Radiology Technologist school first once your a registered tech you can go to MRI school or cross train at a hospital for MRI.
There’s NO cross training from MRI to X-Ray though.
The better one is hard to determine because everyone if different.
Hope this helped 🙏🏽
PS: once you’re a registered technologist there’s a school here in Miami, FL which allows you to become an MRI TECH in 3 months!
Have you by any chance heard if the school PIMA is overall any good? I tried doing some research but can’t find much on radiology here in LV. I feel like I don’t have many options here in Las Vegas. Either UNLV or PIMA and I don’t see myself going to UNLV, I’ve never been to college just finished HS. What do recommend or think?
Thank you for your videos and knowledge you are sharing much appreciated.
Hi Raquel 👋
Welcome if you haven’t already please consider subscribing it’s help my channel’s algorithm so more people can get this knowledge 🙏🏽
Ok yes I’ve heard of PIMA it’s actually not bad the only thing is make sure you can sit for your ARRT NATIONAL REGISTRY before signing up.
If the school isn’t JCERT ACCREDITED than you can’t take your ARRT exam which then means you waist money and time 👀
@@juanmotiva8s959 Thank you 😊
@raquel8588 my pleasure 🙏🏽
@@juanmotiva8s959PIMA is really expensive and competitive to get in.
What is the difference between RT school and just getting a 4 year bachelors in Radiology? What would you recommend?
Hi 👋 Nadia
Welcome 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching
Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my Videos it helps reach more people 🙏🏽
Ok so you only need an A.S. In Radiology which at a State College usually takes 4 years with prerequisites included.
You only need a bachelors if you plan on becoming a Manager or if you want to teach Radiology at a college
Hope this helped 🙏🏽
What about the nuclear Medicine route? Would you suggest that?

@@juanmotiva8s959 thx for replying 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Is starting IV’s/needle work necessary for every role in the medical field? And is it as difficult to perform as people make it seem?
Not in general xray.
But in CT & MRI you do.
Not hard at all, very easy
There’s a mri college near my town that takes two semesters plus pre reqs .
There’s school all over the 🇺🇸 but set your foundation and be an. RT first.
@@juanmotiva8s959 my goal is to be a CT tech. More opportunities to travel and work around the US plus I will also be able to visit family that I have scattered around the country. That’s a plus!!
Hey man I just finished high school and want to start with rad tech cause it gives you a foundation like you said. I’m going the community college route cause it’s the most affordable and I was wondering if you have to major in radiologic technology or can I major in something different like biology? Im asking because all the cc that have radiology programs are far from me.
Yo!
Welcome 🙏🏽
Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my videos it helps the channel reach more people 🙏🏽
Ok so if you go to a community college you can minor in Radiology Technologist which will take 4 years total with your prerequisites but then you can get your BA (Major) in Biology.
Most State Colleges have BA’s now so your making smart move.
Hope this helped 🙏🏽
@@juanmotiva8s959 Thanks! do you know
any of the downsides of taking the cc route?
@IJCHASE Taking the CC route may take longer to complete the program but way better. Hope this helped 🙏🏽
Im Rad tech and I just finished my MRI scans I am trying to get ready for the exam, Do you have any recommendations for study materials.
Hi 👋
Ok so the best book that I know of
Is the “Lange MRI REVIEW” 📚
Can’t guarantee anything but this would help tremendously 🙏🏽
What EMR software do yall use? And do yall use PACS?
Hi 👋
We use
Epic & yes every radiology department needs pacs that’s where the images are stored.
Hoped this helped 🙏🏽
What do you think about sonography?
It’s a great career!
Video coming soon make sure to be subscribed so you don’t miss it 🙏🏽
Would you recommend medical assisting to see which field you would like best?
Hi 👋
Welcome 🙏🏽
If you haven’t already please consider subscribing it helps UA-cam share my content to people who need it 🙂
Ok no I didn’t recommend Medical Assistant you have to much responsibility with not enough pay or ability to move up in the future.
Medical Assistant usually takes 1 year in that same 1 year you can become an LPN & then when your ready bridge into RN. You can’t do that in medical assistant.
Don’t let private schools lie to you 🙏🏽
Is there a danger or side effect of radiation that can affect your health if you work as mri tech or rad tech
Hello 👋
Welcome please don’t forget to Subscribe, Watch & like my videos it helps the channel.
Ok so no there’s no danger
Teach you safety in school so if you do them on a regular basis you will be fine.
There's no radiation using MRI. As a rad tech you will get radiation but it's very minimal and there are lead shielding provided by the hospitals.
@03chue Welcome 🙏🏽
You’re absolutely correct!
Thanks for commenting & please remember to SUBSCRIBE & LIKE 👍🏽 ☢️
so you have to go back to school every time you want to change modality?

Welcome 🙏🏽

Ok so yes in Radiology after you go for your Radiology Technologist (RT) in order to get your CT or MRI you can either cross-train at work or go to school but you definitely take another registry for each.
So each modality has a registry test with it.
Which makes stuff hard because those test are not easy 👀 but they are doable with a lot of studying 📚.
Hope this helped 🙏🏽
@@juanmotiva8s959 how long does it take each time?
So i am deciding getting an Bachelor degree. Would i also need another 2years for radiology?
Hi 👋
Welcome 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching
Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my videos it helps the channel reach more people 🙏🏽
Ok so yes if doesn’t matter what your bachelors is in or even if you get all your prerequisites & only have an A.S.
It will still take you 2 years to complete an accredited Radiology Technologist Program.
Hope this helped 🙏🏽
I trust MRI Man over this guy. Going to MRI immediately is a perfectly fine path. A lot of hospitals nowadays are hiring people who went straight to MRI schools. This isn’t 10-15 years ago anymore, where hospitals were hesitant to do so.
Trust who you want I’m not here to compete with anyone.
I’m just stating facts & if you or anyone else chooses MRI first nothing wrong with that.
Wish you the best in your endeavors.
There’s a school I’m going to called WestCoast ultrasound institute. They have MRI, ultrasound, nursing school. Unfortunately no X-ray
In AZ
Imagine not trusting someone who’s already in their field and bag 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@sanaaniz precisely why we trust MRI man. He knows about MRI
So they offer an associates degree in Radiologic Technology at my local community college you think it's worth it?
Absolutely!
Yes go for it ‼️💪🏽
RT what is that exactly. Is it an x-Ray tech?
Hi Nicole 👋

Radiology Technologist (RT) = X-Ray Tech.
RT is more like the professional way of saying it 🙂
Im thinking of being a radiology tech and am thinking of using my post 9-11 Gi bill, could i get either an associates or bachelor and get it done before or at 4 years ? Trying to go to school without student debt

Ok so it all depends on what school you choose Private or Public. If you go Public it takes about 2-3 years & you’ll graduate with an A.S. In Radiology.
Same as Private but private schools can be easier to get into the program and some only take about 16 months.
Hope this helped 🙏🏽
@juanmotiva8s959
I was thinking public school since it would be more time but I want to give myself breathing room to learn the courses, I haven't found a school yet and I am currently working a full time job and in order to get the most out of my VA benefits I need to maintain 12 credits a semester, also would you be able to provide a list of courses that I need to learn from start to finish so I can go from knowing nothing about the rad tech field to graduating with an associates in radiology, and let's say I wanted to go crosstrain into the mri tech field would I have to go to school separately for that ?
@justins7154 ua-cam.com/video/jkiJp8ZP6bk/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Hope this helps & yes MRI is separate training
@juanmotiva8s959
Will watch this video now thank you, also I read as of April 2023 the Covid shot isn't required anymore to get into medical school is this accurate ?
@justins7154 Honestly I have no idea on that part I think it’s up to the school you chooses policy

Yes Nuc Med does make a little more but if you have been watching my videos. Nuc med might not be around in the next 5-10 years do to the shortage of Iso topes.

@@juanmotiva8s959 thats why we also get ct certified at the same time! Dual modality pay and on the top 95% of pay right now!

Yes absolutely you can but not all schools teach Radiation Therapy so you must search for one who does.
hey Juan, one question, did you have to take a entrance exam like the wonderlic exam and a math exam before you started your career in radiology technology 🥲
Honestly no when I went back then I attended a Private School (which I don’t recommend ) & they didn’t ask for anything.
@@juanmotiva8s959why don’t you recommend that path
