Im not really sure why you would even want to pursue a career in MRI. There are way more jobs in the nursing field and with a BSN you could even be a supervisor or managment. I can only tell you i have been a tech for 12 years I can do every modality there is except ultrasound, but there are NO jobs available in the radiology field. I found a job and drive a total of 2 hours a day to and from thats how tough the market is right now... i would stick with nursing.
I know that there is a bridge program from R.T. to RN, but ive never heard of a program from RN to RT..

I would like to know more about a bridge program from R.T. to RN. I am a R.T. who is also looking for work and considering getting into another area in the medical field.
