Do Nurses and Rad Techs Have the Same Schedule?

Nurses and radiologic technologists (Rad Techs) typically have different schedules due to the nature of their respective roles. Nurses, particularly those in hospitals, often work shifts that cover 24/7 care, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Rad Techs, depending on their workplace, may have more regular hours but could also work shifts, especially in emergency or hospital settings. The schedules for both professions can vary widely depending on the specific healthcare environment and the needs of the facility.
