Let’s Do the Math

The board exam is expensive.  Current cost is $700; especially if you unfortunately do not pass it the first time and have to repeat it.

However – what is more expensive?  Actually much more expensive? Working as a non-registered technician instead of as a registered technologist.

Let’s do the math:

Just for a reference, let’s calculate a $3 raise – actual should be more!

3 x 40 x 52 = _________ ($3/hour…40 hours/week…52 weeks/year)

That’s $6,240/year.

Yes, the cost of the test is expensive – but not being registered is costing so much more.

Working non-registered for 5 years? That cost is $31,200 using the above example.

Let’s move on  – how about board prep resources?

I don’t think there has ever been a time in history where there are more free or low cost resources available to utilize.

The list goes on and on….I’ll of course start with this blog : )

• The Neurodiagnostic Niche
• Integris Neuro’s blog (new post every Wednesday)
• ASET
• ASAP
• Natus Neuro Training Academy
• My Neuropathway Webinars
• LearningEEG.com
• EpilepsyDiagnosis.org
• American Epilepsy Society courses
• And there are so many more…

Even if you end up needing more support and choose a resource that has a higher price tag – go back up to review our calculations above.

It is worth the investment!  

You’ll earn it back and so much more – You.Got.This.
