listen people…i went through an ARMRIT program…..trust me this is not what you want.. and trust me the people that support the discussions on the ARMRIT are people direcly involved in some kind of stakes with the ARMRIT schools.. they make a fortune out of this. if you go to a traditional ARRT programme .. your total cost might be just about $4 -5000 . these ARMRIT progams charge you about $15, 000.. and don’t teach you s***.i saw someone who said ARMRIT techs have 1000 hours of clinical training. let me describe this 1000 hours…it includes the time u sit idle in their lunch room. i don’t know how much of that is related to MRI knowledge.hospitals barely cross train anymore… and if they do .. they makesure tahat the techs get adequate practice before they actually scan a patient….unlike in ARMRIT programs which take some one for example a taki driver who have no prior knowledge in medical field.. and convert them into ARI techs .. by sitting idle in lunch rooms and seeing or may be doing the same exams(for ex. brain)many times and have no practice or knowledge on any other exams.. and still let them to pass their boards .. because they spent 1000 hours doing what ever…. enen the things that have nothing to do with MRI… and let me tell you a lot of these ARMRIT schools mwant to produce their techs like chicken laying eggs…so they forse their clinical sites and their registered technologists to sign off the 1000 hours even if they completed only 500 hours… which include the lunch room hours….now on the other hand ARRT requires their studens to be proficient in 120 DIFFERENT type of exams… and if any one of those scans are not one of the exams that you get ofen at your clinical sites.. then they let you simulate and practice either on a phantom or another fellow student under direct supervision of the registered Technologist. SO WHAT EVER YOU DO PLEASE TRY TO AVOID BEING ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE MASS GUNNIEPIG CHCKEN PRODUCION OF THE ARMRIT SCHOOLS IN ILLINOIS!!!!!!!!

SubjectThinking of becoming an Ultrasound Technician. Any advice?

Hi all. I have had a wide variety of jobs and after hearing about sonography and the possibilities of money, traveling, and the opportunity to work anywhere, I am starting to start the process of school. I don’t want to sit at a desk all day and see the same people everyday. I love the idea of doing a skilled craft. I’m just very particular about my environment at work. Case in point: I worked as a paralegal for a while and it was pretty rough. I could not stand the people, especially the egomaniac lawyers. I felt like I was sort of trapped and honestly felt like a slave to them when I know that my smarts were not being used or commended.
I have a B.A. in Psychology and know that I will not have a problem getting into a community college in my area. I am aware of the cost and that I need to be in an accredited program. Got all of that.
I just have some basic questions that I am hoping to get answered from those who already work in this position.
What is the typical day like?
What is the schedule? Can you work a full 40 in 3 or 4 days? What about overtime/on-call?
What specialty makes the most money? I think that I would like to go into cardiac as that seems to interest me the most. But are the job prospects slim for that? What specialty has the most opportunity?
Can I specialize in more than 1 area? Or is that something I can conquer down the road?
Because I have a B.A., can I just go for the accredited certificate or will I need to do the 1.5 year Associates?
Is an accredited online degree a bad decision?
What level of patient interaction do you have?
Do you need to interpret the results or does the doctor do that?
What is working with the doctors like? Is it like any other job/personalities?
What is the stress level like?
What are the positive/negatives of working in a private practice as opposed to a hospital?
What is working in a hospital like? What type of person is best for that environment?
Any and all help would be great. I appreciate anyone’s input

Here is the info for Pima Medical Institute’s online bridge program:
http://www.pmi.edu/careers/online_rad.asp
Gateway Community College also has a bridge program but they don’t run it every year, only when they have enough interested applicants. The director of their program is Mary Carrillo and her contact information is carrillo@gatewaycc.edu 602.286.8542.
Are you sure Pima also has a 2-3 year wait? I was under the impression that their wait list was shorter than Gateway’s, which is at least 3 years. Central Arizona College in Pinal County just started a new rad tech program last year. They may not have accumulated a wait list, yet.
If you are planning on continuing your education past an associate’s degree, you need to make sure your credits will transfer to whatever school you go to for your higher degrees. Pima Medical Institute and Apollo College are accreditated by different agencies than the state universities and all of the coursework will not transfer.
