My ex wife is a chief nursing officer at her hospital...
And our Daughter is a lab tech at the same hospital... she loves her job... she is certified for X ray and ultra sound.... took her 4 years all together...

You have spine problems don't you? I did radiography for 3 years then 12 years of MRI. It's physically demanding due to lifting and moving patients regularly and often without the proper lifting help. I blew out my back and neck before I retired.

YES..............
If for no other reason, you can read an X-ray...........When your doctor can't.

I have no choice

Don’t you have to deal with people to be an X Ray tech?

I am nervous about my ability to learn on the fly during my clinics

Sure and the hospital will probably train or send you to school to learn other tech positions if you want...
Cross training is a big thing now at medical centers....

If you went for an interview, they'd see right through you.
