I am looking for a way to earn my associates degree in radiology. I have looked fairly well though out the net, but I can only seem to find continued learning after you have gone though a radiological program, and or have an associates degree. If anyone has seen anything along the lines of a first year online radiology program, I would greatly appreciate if you would say where you have.

I think you actually have to go to class for a radiology degree because it requires clinical time.  Since you have to practice your trade, it requires your presence in person.

I'm an x-ray technologist and I know what you mean about liking the medical field. You can get an LVN certificate in 1 year but the money isn't that great. My advice is go to a junior college and get a 2 year degree in nursing and become an RN. The job description is good and the money is great!! Look into it!! You won't be sorry! And don't care about what people say. It's your life right?! Good luck!!

Both are in high demand.  I know that all the hospitals I'm at for rotation (I'm a physician assistant student) are needed both positions filled.  So no matter which you decide on you'll have a job.  Just as a side note - remember nurses may make a little more, but their jobs (in a hospital) are generally more demanding.  Also, a nurse is more flexible in where they work - ie hospital, clinic, nursing home, home care, etc.  A radiology tech is pretty much stuck at either a hospital or urgent care/multicenter specialty office.  So just keep that in mind too.  Either way, you (like most healthcare students) won't have a hard time finding a job.  Good luck!

just look everywhere. having an AA doesn't set you up for any "career" really. having an associates degree, your best bet is looking at jobs with the education requirement of "some college". it seems like nowadays no one requires an associates degree. its either h.s. diploma, bachelor's degree, or "some college experience"

All real accrediated programs that will get you your certification is not online..  Mot of thie training is in practical and you will have to find a local physcial school and do study there.\n\nMedvance is one of the leading schools as is many major universities

A friend of mine just completed the MA program at my school & is having the same problem. She says the college placed her in a position that led to nowhere. I suggested to go to an employment agency that specializes in health care. She found a temp. position in weeks. Time will tell if it works though...

Currently most of them go to a 2 year X-ray school and then do on the job training for MRI. However there are shorter schools you can attend. Look up AMRIT on the web and the ARRT.  Both web sites should help you.

I am attending CTU online. This school is accredited and I have some associates that told me about the school. They have excellent programs and they assist you all the way as far as paying for your education. I would say CTU online, AIU online or University of Phoenix, but if u are comparing costs of programs I would say CTU. They just dropped thier associate degree programs cost by 5,000.00, so thats a good thing and like I said its a great school no BS.

Both my husband and I did AIU online and it was so easy.  It was 100% online and depending on what major you were in you either had 1 or 2 classes every 5 weeks, with some breaks.  I lvoed it!!!  Good luck!

I am in the same position right now as you.  I have been a stay at home mom for 7 years now and have put my education on the back burner.  Now that 2 of my children are going to be in school full time it's time to go back and further my education.  I don't want to spend a lot of time going back to school, so instead of going to a regular college I am going to go to a trade school where I will just be learning the Trade and by pass all of the other stuff.  There are a lot of options for getting a degree in less than two years.  Medical assisting, dental assisting, massage therapy, billing insurance and coding, pharmacy technician, x-ray technician, paralegal, court reporting, legal assistant etc.  I hope everything works out for you.  It's tough when your out of school for so long and then go back. You'd be surprised at how much of the basics you forget and have to learn all over again.  It's worth it though to better yourself.  Best of luck!

I am going for a graphic design degree at Mt. Sierra and love it. I have a BA already from an on campus school and I have had a better experience with the online classes. About.com has some great information on distance learning and I would highly recommend doing research first and asking a lot of questions. About.com has a great suggestion list of questions to ask an admissions representative. It helped me immensely and I am 100% convinced I made the right decision.\n\nGood luck :-)

There are both 2 year and 4 year programs.  Both have their advantages.  I just graduated from OIT in ultrasound with a bachelor of science.  Check out their program if you'd like...   www.oit.edu\n\nGood luck!

Unless you are already a nurse, either an LPN or associate degreed RN - I believe you are out of luck as far as finding a reputable school who will allow you to complete your degree online.\n\nThere are online degrees for LPN's seeking an Associate Degree or a BSN/RN degree.  Also there are RN (Associate Degree) to BSN programs available online.  If you have no nursing degree whatsoever, I know of no program such as you describe.\n\nNOTE: PLEASE read carefully the details on these online programs.  The one listed below is for a Bachelor of Science in Business...it is not an actual Bachelor's degree in Nursing.

Four years college.  Four years medical school. Several years training in the radiolgy specialty, internship, etc.  \nIf you mean a radiology technician - it's a lot less.

Considering I have been through med school and went through a PHd program, I am curious as to how you are a thoracic surgeon at the tender age of 20???  Advanced standing students STILL take 4-6 years fresh out of high school and then about 4-7 years interning and residency and THEN surgery is EXTREMELY competitive and it can take years to become a surgeon ESPECIALLY a thoracic surgeon ... so tell me, describe thoracic surgery or did you learn it from ER?  I need to add to this, this person has other postings in which he had no clue whatsoever to any form of thoracic surgery and also states he is a psych major to pick up people on this site... go to myspace.com and spin your web of lies there
