Ok, I have 2 choices of schools that I can go to for a Radiology Program. I live in VA and the only schools close to me that I could possibly attend due to my work schedule are Medical Careers Institute and Tide Water Community College. I have heard mixed reviews from people about different programs a MCI but I have not heard much of anything about TCC. They are both accredited and MCI is actually a lot closer to me then TCC but I I want to do whats best for me. I know for sure that I can go at my own pase at TCC which is important to me because I work nightshift and can only afford/have time to take a couple classes at a time. I know nothing about MCI and how their class schedule works but they probably make you go full time, if thats the case then they are out for me because I just don't have the time needed to study for all the classes at one time. What do you guys think?
RadTech:
Is it possible for us to talk a little more since I see you are currently a RadTech? It will not let me add you to my contacts but maybe you can add me to yours?
Top Answer:
FYI, when it comes time to do your clinicals, you can't pick and choose when to do it. I was in school 40 hours per week for the entire 2 years.
To choose between the two, I would ask them what their ARRT-registry pass rate is... the higher the better. If they put out students who can't pass the registry, they aren't a good school.
Email me for more info.

Thinking of going into the LPN program?
I am thinking about going to MCI in Virginia Beach and I am worried about the cost and also how hard it is to get a job because they are not Nationally accredited, only regionally... also, if I want to go to another school to get my BSN, they might not recognize their credits... How hard it it to get a job as an RN? I know that "96% of grads get jobs"... but are they getting paid good?
Top Answer:
Yea but what kind of jobs that's what the trade school I went to said and then they were offering help getting jobs that paid less than the job I already had. If I had to do it again I would not go to a school like that. I would look for classes at my community college. its cheaper and you learn more. The class I took was medical insurance billing. That place finally went out of business, it was a really shady school, apparantly they were just ripping everyone off, first of all by admitting people with obviously very low IQ's even though they knew the program may be to diffiuclt for them, and then "helping" them pass tests and so on so the could take their money, it was really scandalous and a weird place all the way around. And I've heard stories about other schools like that too. It's like they arent realy learning anything but they don't know what else to do with their lives and they are infatuated with the idea of "being in college" or "doing something with their lives" It's sad really that a place like that would take advantage of people like that.
I dont really know that much about it though I just know I had to pay that student loan back of couse and that's never fun.
. My sister went to a place called apollo college I think here in Portland Or and she got a semi decent job after but again Im not so sure she couldnt have gone to a community college for that same training for cheaper.
Any one have any experiences, good or bad, with medical careers institute. I start the LPN program August 1st and i want to make sure im doing the right thing. How was job placement once you graduated? etc.
Top Answer:
Make sure any nursing school you enroll in is ANA recognized. Many AS programs do not meet the ANA certifications to be full RNs or LPNs. Check with a hospital before starting a college.
I recommend that for anyone wanting to start a career. Ask those that will higher you later, what they want now, don't take anyone else's word for it. Especially if the college tells you, they are a business after all. They want your money.
