Your videos are inspirational. I’ve been in construction for over 5 years and was looking for a new career path. I decided to take your advice and get into phlebotomy first instead of jumping into MRI. Just passed my CPT exam and about to start my externship!

Ey thats dope! thanks! Phlebotomy is a great entry to the medical field for sure. Congratulations! keep grinding and stay up! Phlebotomy can be tough but you will get better quick. I learned by watching the best stick and I tried their techniques out!

I originally applied for the WCUI MRI program for the San Marcos school in San Diego since it was the closest one to where I live but they were still going through being certified by the VA as an approved school for the GI Bill. They didn't know how long it was going to take and a waited 3-4 months and decided to apply to Casa Loma instead and was accepted and started the program in a couple of months and they were a VA approved school. Only downside is having to drive to LA and I live in San Diego and there are around 7 of us in class that make the drive (luckily only on Saturdays) rest online. Most of the techs I spoke with from my previous job graduated from Casa Loma. Currently in my 3rd term and enjoying it. Retired from the military as an Independent Duty Corpsman and having that background in medicine and experience has definitely helped out a lot. Thanks for the videos @mriman, definitely watched it before applying.

Appreciate this video! I just applied to WCUI so this was super helpful:)

Yea. I gave them my info online what program. They emailed me with a link that lets you pick a date to interview virtually. Depending how booked the person who’s going to interview you is. You may have to wait a month at least for me I did. They ask you what go you into it. Who you are. What interests you the most. They briefly go over how the class is set up and stuff. When the next class is going to start. Tuition. After you agree. You have to take a entrance exam and pass. You get 3 attempts. You have to send hs transcripts and diploma. After that you have a panel interview in a zoom call with other future students who want to get in to. They more in depth about everything there and you can ask more in depth questions. Rn I’m just waiting for my class to start

We never got an update on this students progress? I am curious to know what happened.

I’ve seen a lot of job postings for mri tech say they need you to have a CRT .. is it worth doing a mri tech program or should we just do a rad tech program if we want to be an mri tech?

@MRIMan

Жыл бұрын

If you can go for the rad tech program, get that crt xray and than get licensed in MRI. hospitals are slowly allowing us MR arrt in. I think eventually MR arrt techs will be accepted everywhere. I didn't want todo xray. I worked at a hospital with just my MR license as well. The more you know the easier you will get hired.

Thinking of doing the b.s. sonography! Is it worth?

Yes that's a great career

i’m scared to go to wcui because of the credits not transferring in the future and worried about job placement..

Yo can someone help me out please ! I have a exercise science associates degree that is recognized by ARRT am I able to go straight into a MRI education program than take a exam to get licensed or do I need to go back for another associates degree in medical imaging ?

Hi, I am 54 years old and migrated from India and want to pursue MRI tech course. My educational background is commerce and accounting in 1990. Am I eligible to enroll? Please guide me. Thanks

I just found your channel! I got my BS in Psychology but my dream was always to head into the medical field. Doing my pre-requisites starting January for radiology technology programs! I really hope I can get in, want this so bad! Do you have any advice? The waitlist for one school is 3 years and one year and a half for the other. I was also looking at WCUI but it is not CAAHEP accredited, I heard if I do attend WCUI, employers won’t even look at me resume, is this true? :(

I know a bunch of people that went to WCUI and they are doing great! As long as you get that ARRT license OR ARMRIT. Now , yes alot of hospitals do require a crt which means you would have to get in that Rad program and become a xray tech get licensed in that and than take another registry and clinical for MR. I've worked at hospital without crt just MY MR ARRT. Hospitals are slowly changing
