Question: Where can I find information to be licensed as a basic x-ray machine operator? I'm not talking about becoming a rad tech, but I know there is a test that can be taken to be licensed as a basic x-ray machine operator. I have searched and searched and found nothing.

Answer: First of it depends on where you live. (some states don't require you to be certified as a basic machine operator) I would check your state's department of health website for information on licenses and requirements. But how is it you plan on passing the exam. There's more to it than pointing the tube and pushing a button. I had to go to school to acquire the knowledge, and the school showed me where to go for the test. I'm sure the are some bitter RT's out there that will tell you not to do it that you wont find work..blah,blah,blah. Truth is the way the economy is right now some would rather hire a BXMO and pay them less for the same work than a RT. If you want to work in a large hospital then you might be better off going full RT but every state is different mine says 1 RT per 150 beds so it is possible.
