Radiographer in Dublin

delija_sever029

I am not sure if this is right place where i can ask,if i am wrong i would like to get address of right place to send my question to.
Anyway,i have high school nursing diploma and now studying 3 years bachelor radiology(radiotherapy and rentgen diagnostics) and i am interested how are chances i get that diploma recognised in Ireland so i can work and does you university have some program master or something where is it possible to continue my education in radiology?And if anyone can help me how salaries in this sector are,is that better than maybe London which is my 2nd option,and if anyone can tell me about sharing or apartment costs,food,bus monthly,tv,phone and other monthly bills
As i saw maybe Dublin is better option than London and i heard Irish are way better as friends

Did you not get a reply? That's odd.

I would then try the Admissions Dept- they're pretty good.

Give us a bit more info about your diploma- where is it from? What sort of diploma is it? You sound either American or Canadian. High school diplomas can roughly equate to the Leaving Cert. I doubt the Bachelor's will be counted for much so far (how much have you done? If you've done one year, you may not need to do it again, given that the course you're going into is rather similar).

Prices in Dublin vary quite widely- My apartment is 85 euro per week. If you want to live in halls, it goes up to about 125 euro per week. Food can vary between 20 and 40 euro per week, depending on where you shop, if you're a big eater, etc. Electricity, etc- in my apt, with 2 people- it's about 140 euro every 2 weeks, but about 350 every 3 months for Halls. Taxi is about 10 euro, depending on location, of course. A glass of wine is 4.50. Bread is between 35 cent and 2.50 (again, depending on type). A newspaper is 1.80 and an average dinner is 8 euro.

Anything else you'd like to know?

SU shop is far cheaper than that. Guardian for a euro iirc.

I'm giving a general price, including the sunday papers....Sunday Times is 2.50, isn't it? But, yes, you're right, they CAN be had for less than 1.80. The Metro and the Herald AM are available for the grand price of 0.00 euro....

Every 2 weeks?! Plus my last electricity bill was around €42 for two months. Gas on the other hand :pac:

Whoops, i meant every 2 months. That includes heating as well- our radiator (notice the singular) is electric.

One more question if someone knows,i am studying 3 years bachelor,as i got it you have same program but 4 years and its practicly 3 years streched into 4,is that true.And is it in UK also 3 or 4 years?And as i heard to get permision to work in USA you have to do plus 1 year on this bachelor so you can get american bachelor diploma evaluated,is it same for you?And how much the thing you do master in Ireland +2 years and than to try to go to USA changing thing with evaluating diploma,will they accept it easier than when you only have bachelor?

delija_sever029

.........

delija_sever029

And what about cost living if someone share,is 1500 euros than enough monthly and rest to save for school example?

delija_sever029

One more question if someone knows,I know Ireland,UK,USA have that option that radiographers can do a PhD....example thats different in in other countries,radiologists need to go to medical univercity and do a specialisation to be later after finished medical uni a radiologist.And i dont understand which title have than radiographer by you after finishing that PhD,coz i dont get it he can be same radiologist as a doctor who did medical uni,or maybe i am wrong and your school system is different

delija_sever029

Does this or any other uni in Ireland offers online master course in radiography or radiotherapy?

delija_sever029

Ok my school is going very good so far and i hope to finish it and get diploma till June next year

I started slowly to prepare my self for going abroad and looking for a job so i have few options.First of all i would like to know the procedure,what would be my first steps and where to look for the job,who to contact at first and things like that.

I have few options but i wont bother you about other countries just for ireland.

So if you know any infos it would be nice

delija_sever029

No immigration specialists?:)

delija_sever029

Is it true that i cant apply for a job in Ireland for radiographer if i dont have 2 years experience?

delija_sever029

Hey lads

Me again,now I am definitely collecting infos before I decide where and how to apply for a job and I need all the help you can provide me when it gets about Ireland
If I am right,first step to verificate my Serbian 3 years degree for radiographer is here
http://www.iirrt.ie/index.php?option=com_c...=3&Itemid=7
But if I fill out all those papers and send them what are my real chances or possibilities to get a chance to work there or to get a job at first.I think theres a problem coz I don’t have any experience,I am fresh graduated.Lately my mates are applying for Norway coz its to easy to get the papers but I want to clear out the situation about Ireland before I start thinking about other options

Thanks in advance for any help
