Can a limited license x-ray tech perform bone density tests legally?

radiology — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 02:51:29 +0000

I am a limited license x-ray tech and I work in a small medical office in tennessee. I am the only full time x-ray tech. There is a bone density tech but he only works on monday and tuesday. So therefore I am forced to do the bone density tests on the other days and I am not certified to do so. I do not agree with this but i am afraid I could lose my job if I refuse to do the bone densities. I have no desire to do bone densities and do not want to go get certified in this. What will happen if the state walks in and I am performing a bone density test? Can I perform them because I am an x-ray tech or is it illegal? And where can I find a list of all the laws pertaining to Radiology for the state of tennessee because I have searched the internet everywhere and can not find the laws anywhere.

Is this possible?
The school that I am going offers limited X-Ray Tech program (1yr)
Radiology Tech Program (1yr) which, turns out to be 2 yrs.

Does anyone know anything about obtaining a limited x-ray license?

specifically in the state of Arkansas? Is it true you simply have to study for and pass a board exam without attending a college of radiology? I recently graduated nursing school and plan to work in the radiology field. I thought the limited license might be a nice touch to my resume? Radiology Technician Schools

1 year certification for Limited Radiology Technician….is it worth it?

radiology — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 21:50:36 +0000

I have a friend who would like to pursue a career in the radiology field. He says he will do a 1 year certification and get a job in the field. I looked up the pay and its /hr. so that is about 8 a day and 0 a week (assuming 8 hour shifts). This is about 00 a month and this is BEFORE taxes. After taxes i am guessing it will be about 00 even.. I pointed out to him that that is not even enough to live on and he will be sinking probably OVER ,000 into school.

He insists he will make more and I am wrong about these figures. I dont see that happening.

MY QUESTION: Does anyone know what the average and MAX pay is for a 1 year certification in this field (LIMITED RADIOLOGICAL TECHNICIAN). He lives in Texas now and wants to relocate up north so if you know average /MAX salary by region that is helpful. Thanks.

I have a friend who would like to pursue a career in the radiology field. He says he will do a 1 year certification and get a job in the field. I looked up the pay and its $16/hr. so that is about $128 a day and $640 a week (assuming 8 hour shifts). This is about $2500 a month and this is BEFORE taxes. After taxes i am guessing it will be about $2000 even.. I pointed out to him that that is not even enough to live on and he will be sinking probably OVER $15,000 into school.
