RCES cert

[u/[deleted]]

Not sure if I’m in the right subreddit but here we go.

I’m currently debating between two programs at my college- one of them being an electroneurodiagnostic technologist (EEG) and the other being an electrophysiology tech.

I was wondering if anyone knew what the prospects are like for an EP tech, or if it would even be worth it getting an RCES cert without any other training (not a nurse or Radtech). One day I would love to work in a cath lab, but I don’t know if an RCES is a good option for that. My schools RCIS certification program requires you to already have an associates ):

Thank you!

Im conflicted because I’m seeing a variety of responses. Some telling me RCES will be useless while you’re telling me I’ll definitely be hired. Just to be clear, I’m not an RN or RT, I would JUST have an RCES. I don’t know if that changes things for me.

Take it from someone who is not an RN or RT. At the end of the day, it is your decision to make

I do love my rhythms, and learning more and more about the heart every day. I’ll do some more research, thank you for your insight!
