Thinking of "temping" in Radiology. And words of advice. Yes, do it. No! no jobs?

Question

Thanks! Yes, I am an RT(R). Trained in CT as well. Currently studying for CT boards. Been a tech for 12 years. Love it! Have locally temped in WI. Currently at a clinic that recently wants CT techs to inject w/o a Radiologist on site. 911 is the solution for a contrast reaction. Don't like that choice. I'm to help my pt's. not hurt them. I have needed my rad's help in the past. Just not right. Love the co-workers. Need to know if I can be successful at traveling nation wide. Grateful for choice, need to be "real" about it. Any insight?

Answer 1

If you are competent and technically adept, you may find that temp contract agencies can place you in some larger facilities that will enahnce your level of expertise and expand your skill set. I've been in Radiology for 30+ yrs and am a director in a health system. It's a good way to experience a varied environment and get the right "fit" for you. Make a list of the requirements you seek in a job and be sure to ask before you commit. It is a great life for some techs and they love it. Good techs are needed everywhere.

Answer 2

I haven't done it myself, but from what I've heard, you usually get really crappy jobs. If a hospital is willing to shell out that kind of money to pay an agency, it's probably not a very good place to work, or they would be able to hire people. I thought about doing that too, but luckily I found a great job right out of school. Be careful.
