CRT to RRT?

In California, how long before a CRT can become a RRT? I was told you have to wait 2yrs? Wife just asked a CRT at her work tonight and he said they are doing away with the "2yr" rule and you can apply right away if you have enough school. Any care to input?

Thanks

Hi Ron, Your wife is correct. The NBRC no longer requires two years of clinical experience to apply for the RRT Written and Clinical Simulation Board Exams. Once you have successfully passed your CRT Board Exam, you may immediately apply for the RRT Exams. I hope this helps. I wish you well. Good journey.

Thank you! Good to know. She asked about salary (thought some might want to know) while the CRT wouldn't give his salary he said to except $26hr to start at wife's work (she is an LVN).

Hey Ron:

If I pass my CRT exam and graduated in an entry-level RT program, will it be difficult to pass the RRT exams without no Advanced RT schooling?

Yes, that is correct. At my school (community college) the RT program is an A.A.S. After graduation, you take the CRT exam then can go straight to the RRT exam. As long as you have at least an Associates Degree, you should be fine.

Anyone know how long it takes to hear from the RCB after the initial application is filed? If so, whats the reason for such a delay?

Hi Marley12, If this is in reference to the application for licensure, according to the RCB website at www.rcb.ca.gov, Prior to licensure, you must provide the Board with a copy of a Certificate of Completion, from either the AARC or CSRC's required law and professional ethics course, verifying successful completion of the mandatory course. Once the Board receives all required documentation for licensure, including passing exam scores, you will be sent a letter notifying you of your eligibility for licensure and will be requested to submit the appropriate initial fee. Initial licenses are issued for a period of 6-17 months depending upon the issuing month of the license and the applicant's birth month. The fee is prorated at $8 per month and can range from $48 to $136. Upon receipt of your fee, you should receive a license number in less than 2 weeks.

How long has it been since you filed your application?. If you have waited an appropriate amount of time(at least 2-3 weeks), I suggest contacting the RCB to check the status of your application. I hope this helps. I wish you well. Good journey.

Thanks Rolinda, appreciate the info pertaining to the RCB and the process for licensure. It will be two weeks this coming Friday the 4th. I know I'm jumpin' the gun, but I'm excited and want to get out and into the field, ya know? I've heard to expect a two-three month wait. Any thoughts?

You have to take two test. The RRT written exam which is 115 questions and a clinical sims exam which consists of 11 clinical sims. Both must be passed to obtain the RRT credential.

Can someone tell me how to post a new forum topic on this board? I don't see anywhere to do this.
