X-Ray Lady Continuing Education
Greetings!

 

It’s that time of year again.  We want to share with you what’s been going on here at X-Ray Lady. We have some new courses coming in and some older courses moving out and have been working hard to always improve upon your experience with X-Ray Lady.  Currently, we are working on a way to improve our ebooks and make them available instantly upon purchase.
This is our last newsletter for 2016.  We have included all the new products that we currently have in the works but plan to add more throughout next year.  Don’t forget to take advantage of our clearance sale on products that are moving out to make room for new ones.
As always we want to wish you the happiest holiday season and a healthy and prosperous new year in 2017!  Thank you for your continued patronage.  We appreciate you and hope to hear from you in the new year!

Ebook Improvements

Since we began offering our courses electronically as ebooks we have continued to improve on their look and delivery.  Currently, once you place an order for an ebook a staff member must process your order and manually email you your course materials.  This causes a lag in time between when you place your order and when you actually receive your materials.During our office hours this time is minimal but outside of office hours this time could be anywhere from 24-48 hours.  We realize this is not optimal especially for our customers that are purchasing the ebook option because they are on a deadline to complete their CE’s.

 

We recently updated our software for our website and are working on implementing a more instant option for your ebook materials.  We are hoping that the new way this would work would be that within your order confirmation email would be your links to download your books and tests.  The order confirmations are automatically generated and emailed once you submit your order.  We hope to have this in place within the next two months and will be sending out an email with the details before it goes into effect.  So if you frequently purchase ebooks from X-Ray Lady just be aware in the next few months there will be some changes to the look, feel, & delivery of your materials via email.  As always if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.

Season's Greetings

Winter Newsletter  2016
Greetings!
As we finally near the end of winter with Spring just in sight there are exciting changes and news to share.  We have several new courses about to be released.  As of January 1, 2016, the ARRT announced many changes to their continuing education requirements.  As always it is a daunting task to keep informed of all the state and national changes that take place but anytime we get news we try to share it with our customers.  Our customers are what makes our company great and we look forward to being able to serve you and keep you informed for years to come!

ARRT Post Primary CE Requirements
You may already be aware that the ARRT has set some new continuing education guidelines for post-primary license holders. In the past ARRT accepted any topic that supported radiologic technology as long as the course was approved by a recognized approving agency.
As of Jan. 1, 2016 any technologist who holds an ARRT post-primary license must obtain at least 16 of their 24 CE credits in a subject matter directly related to their post- primary license.  So, for example, if you work in CT, 16 of your 24 required credits must be CT related.  The specific credit must meet the ARRT structured educational requirements.
The good news for our customers is that all of our courses that apply to post-primary licenses are now coded into the structured educational categories.  We will have more on our website regarding this information but for now you can call our office for additional information about the ARRT coding of our courses.

Click the link below to read more about the structured education requirements on the ARRT website.

ARRT Guideline Change for Repeating CE Courses
As of January 1, 2016 the ARRT now allows technologists to repeat a CE course previously completed; however, the ARRT does not allow the CE course to be completed within the same biennium.
In light of this new rule, when you place an order our staff will not contact you about a repeated CE course unless the CE course was completed within the last two years.
If you have an X-Ray Lady course reference and would like to retake the course, now you can!
Save money on your CE by using the X-Ray Lady course reference you have and just purchase a posttest at a discounted price. X-Ray Lady CE courses are approved for a 1-3 year period so check with our office to see if your CE course reference you have is still approved for continuing education credit.
