its technologist...not technician

[Rhino1XL]

There are NO JOBS in Nuc Med. Don't waste your time looking. Just become a Pharmacist, Physical Therapist or a Nurse.

@Rhino1XL

good advice bro, but why!!! cause i am gonna drop my pharmacy school and proceede somthing in medical imaging!!! is it unwise to do that??

[janetberzon]

I think they get paid more because they have more training, plus the odd hours and the job being dangerous although they are required to wear radiation badges for safety purposes. I really want to get into this field. I tried to get into a program at the University of Mexico and they said you must be working as a Nuclear Tech to get into it. Well, that sucks but I am still going to pursue it.

can you do a video on how to be a nuclear engineer thanks

[holycattle]

Thank you- but i got advice that i needed to attend a 4 year university, have my Gen. Ed.'s, and Major in Biology, then persue Radiology, and then specialize in Nuclear Medicine? Its really hard to find sources on education for this field.

No you just need to do nuclear medicine at a community college, 60k a year trust me.

[kambridge967]

@dh234 60,000 a year just for going to a junior college for 2 years that dont even sound right.

@kambridge967

my friend did 4 years at gateway

[krypekeeper]

@dh234 60 right out of school or with accouple years exp.? (pay depending on the city of course, but on avg?)

[dh234]

@krypekeeper she got 60 k right out of school, you do 2 years of internerning during school, esp if your classes are part time you can spread it out and get the exp during school

[krypekeeper]

@dh234 so the ENTIRE schooling process is 2 yrs?, not 2 years of radiology tech school then like..another year radiation therapy training?

[dh234]

@krypekeeper mind you I only know this career worked out for a friend, but I think for her it was 4 years+ part time school while working, with 2 years of interning during last 2 years, I donjt know the details
