Answer 1

Limited is just that - limited. Look for other schools where you wouldn't have to wait as long: http://jrcert.org/cert/Search.jsp

And you won't become sterile... the ignorance out there is amazing...

Answer 2

Keep looking for programs! If you insist on waiting for that college, you may want to do the limited program until you can get into the "real" program. I agree with the others that have warnings about the limited license. The job choices are scarce for a limited tech, and there is about zero chance for advancing. As a radiologic technologist, you have many opportunities for professional growth. As a 22 year old, that may not be important now, but it will be!
Also, have you researched any 4-year programs in the area? There are some university based programs where you can earn your Bachelor's degree. That's what I did. I hold a BHS in Radiologic Science.

Answer 3

A limited tech program means there are many things in the field of radiography that you will be unable to perform. That means that your employment opportunites will be severely limited. Limited techs generally work in orthopedic offices. A hospital or free standing imaging facility wants a person who can do ALL of the exams performed there. So, you might have trouble finding a job. The answerer above me had a good point....it is possible that there are other programs in your area. I would check that out. Best wishes.

I have to agree with Chris. Despite the terrible sins of Person A, who is still a believer, thus Heaven bound. While Person B is the better person, he is not saved so he is Hell bound.

Answer 5

Limited cause you'll get sterile
