Traveling Radiographer/X-Ray Tech/Radiologic Technologist...?

I'm finishing an associate degree in radiologic technology in Spring 2008. After establishing a year or two of experience, I'd like to become a traveling RT. I'm looking for advice on what agencies are best for that.

Every agency claims to be the #1 agency, with the best pay, best housing, best jobs, best locations, etc., and they can't all be telling the truth. Plus when I search for radiography jobs on their websites, most of them come up with zero.

Has anyone actually built a decent career as a traveling RT? I'd like to know more. Thanks!

(I want advice from real x-ray techs, not recruiters, by the way. They'll have their chance later.)

I am a nursing student currently pursuing an RN. Before I decided to go back to school, I researched other healthcare professions, including RT. I've not heard of a "traveling RT", but you could be the first!
My first suggestion is to work for one year in a Hospital setting(don't work at a clinic or for an agency right away) for one year in the same state that you went to school(this establishes residency, and while this isn't formally required, it's desired and looked for, ie, you will be much more employable and command a higher salary).
Second, pick at least one area of expertise like Ultrasound, CT, or MRI; and gain work experience(not just from clinicals or volunteer work) in at least two of these, as employers often need CT or MRI techs, not just an X-Ray tech.
I've found a couple of professional organizations that may be able to help:

Best of luck to you, and congratulations on your new career!

It better to be a Mri or Ct tech for traveling However to be honest with you there arent that many jobs for traveling X-ray techs. Maybe if u were a nurse or Therapist. X-ray tech dont have much to pick from.

Try becoming a good tech then move to ct or mri before you travel
