COME TO WORK: Contracting OB/GYN Sonographer

[@nickp6144]

I love when my patients dont show up and I just sit and wait

[@sabrinaana8468]

Thank you so much for making these videos I’m praying that I can make it through school the program I want to attend is an hour away from me 😮so still kinda nervous about it but let’s hope for the best 🙏

[@maemae.5]

I've been thinking of going back to school and first i wanted to be a RN but i been thinking of Sonography . the past week your vids have helped a lot and enjoyable. So i know i will enjoy the career move also

[@AnimeGirlz15]

Love these types of video! Thanks for sharing! As a incoming sonography student, I would love to see more of what your typical day looks like at work 🤍

[@1075cheer]

Thank you for this video. As you were talking, I was taking notes😉😊. I am all done with prerequisites now on to TEAS. 🤞

Yess we love a transition queen

[@cs2942]

I know your mom is soooo proud of you❤ I have watched your video over and over for months… Thanks for sharing….

[@veanne]

she's back!! i'm hoping to start my journey if i get accepted to a dms program :)

[@KristyDMS]

Yayyyy

[@natalie75273]

Love this! I do contracting sonography as well but all the locations are an hour or more away from me so I’m always waking up early 🥲 Also I have to sadly set up a machine at most locations!!!

[@KristyDMS]

I have to set up machines too at some of the offices! Wow an hour is so long. I did that for a while when I started but commuting made me upset lol so I decided to move. But I love it so far!

[@shesomajher6285]

Currently in school to become an ultrasound sonographer. This video was very helpful because I want to be a travel ultrasound sonographer but have kids. This would be a win win for me

[@lamonicastewart8456]

I Love This For You ❤ I Have Been Binge Watching Your Videos For The Last Week As A Current Student. You Have Given Me So Much Information! I'm Super Nervous But Super Excited. I Remember In A Video, You Said You Were Working On Fetal Echo. Are You Still Doing That Or Are You Still Just Abdominal & OBGYN? The Track At My School Is Abdominal, OBGYN, & Vascular!

[@marissalopez9424]

Did you struggle to read the ultra sound images when you first started?? Do the images get easier to read with time??

[@desdad7116]

Thanks these videos are super informative & it gives me hope

[@kls6612]

Thank you for the new video!

[@tiffany7591]

do you enjoy this career? i fell in love with this career and am going to college for sonography in september and i’m unsure whether this is meant for me or not.

[@AnTran-cm6xc]

Hi Kristy! I’m 35 and about to get sonography certificates. But my English is not really good. Do you think is ok to get certificate? Thanks in advance!

[@thelostandfoundlamb]

this was sooooo helpful thank you so much 💗

[@foreverlove1517]

Loved your video! I've been thinking of joining the Sonography work place aswell, the only thing that's stopping me is the work schedule. I have two boys who require a lot of my time and working part-time is the only option for me. Do you know if part-time is available for the Sonography career?

[@bubbles11262]

Do you need a certain amount of experience for a position like this or do you not recommend this for someone coming right out of school? Would love to see a pros and cons video! 🤗

[@KristyDMS]

Typically a good amount of experience under your belt would be ideal! This is just because the company is trusting you’re competent in scanning and seeing what you see. As a contracting sonography there isn’t a “boss” that keeps an eye on us when we go to these offices. So you have to be comfortable with working pretty independent!

[@leezanou]

Love this video! ❤️

[@KristyDMS]

Always appreciate you 💕

[@Jasmine-rw2xu]

Quick question, been thinking of moving to the south however sonographers get paid more in California. The cost of living in California is substantially higher as well..was wondering if I should work in CA first, save and then move down or just move down and accept the lower pay for the same job just cost of living is different. Need advice

[@giselleb6813]

Hello Kristy, I just found your KZbin channel 🙂 I have been very interested in joining the program and I was wondering if you attended a program in CA or another state? If you did attend in CA, do you have any recommendations on which program to apply to and what exactly are the pre-reqs I need to apply? I was also worrying about salary because there have been a couple of people make comments that it is hard to find a job in CA as a DMS, is this true?😓

[@yarazard]

Hey Giselle, I just wanted to let you know that pre-reqs depend on the school but the basic ones are sciences and math like physics and biology. Also, some programs require a Bachelors, while others do not. If moving is not an issue for you, you should check out the schools in TX!

[@yifanyang3128]

Hi your posts are really helpful! Do you know associate + ardams will help international student get a h1b sponsorship visa?❤

[@ninafiore4010]

Hi! I've recently been really interested in becoming a Sonographer. I came across your page and love your videos! They're very informational! Thanks for sharing. What is the typical salary if you don't mind me asking? Every website says something drastically different. Look forward to hearing from you.

[@eliza_kai]

Depends on where you work. California is about $75,000 - well over $100,000. Not trying to blow up your page Kristy lol. Just looking around at travelers and found your page

[@cait9886]

Sorry super weird question. BUT-What car do you have? I love love those pink seats!! Are they customs or just seat covers?

[@chantall5516]

Hi! How do you get a contracting job (not travel) ? What agencies do that? Thank you in advanced!

[@kaitlynfrichtel5603]

If I have a bachelors in english, would I need to go back to school for the associates degree or could I do the one year certificate?

[@bellagraham9286]

What in your experiences is the best machine you've worked with for 3d/4d?

[@ultrasoundradiologycases8633]

Thanks for sharing!

[@courtneyn4157]

@kristydms hey Kristy,how are you? My name is Courtney, and I just got accepted into the cardiovascular sonography program here at my school and I am planning on doing a paid internship while in school. Do you have an tips or suggestions on what I should put on my resume since I don’t have experience within the field yet? However I do have plenty of customer service experience which I feel will go hand and hand! ❤

[@eliza_kai]

Your school should place you in a clinical site.

[@saphire60]

what procedures do you have to do? i thought it was only scanning

[@eliza_kai]

Haha! This is probably one of the biggest misconceptions about Ultrasound. I worked at a local trauma hospital my entire career thus far. We did eveything from biopsies to OR cases and anything in between. We work hard. Outpatient isn’t quite as crazy but it’s very very busy outpatient. Again, not trying to hyjack your page lol

[@kellyd1831]

did you go to sonography school in the dmv area? i am looking for a school. thank you

[@kaitlyngortner2573]

I am an OB/GYN sonographer in Southern California. What are some contracting companies like yours ? I have always been interested in Travel Sonography as well. Thanks !

[@giselleb6813]

Hi Kaitlyn, do you get paid well in SoCal? Located in SoCal as well but can’t really find any info about salary for DMS. If you are willing to, would you be able to provide an estimate? :)

[@kaitlyngortner2573]

Hi ! Right now I’m only getting 26$ and hour because I haven’t taken my registry. It’s also my FIRST job. The average hourly pay here is 30$-60$

[@wendyalice685]

What company is this? I want to see if there is anything similar to this in my area.

[@marisolrubio6923]

16 patients?? How do you do it?😢

[@yarazard]

Did you negotiate salary instead of hourly, and how did you go about doing that?

[@KristyDMS]

i believe since i was willing to do fulltime, salary was offered. bc its a traveling type of job they needed you to flexible, which guaranteed a salaray based pay. however if i wanted to be part time, hourly was offered.

[@kaitlyngortner2573]

What is the contracting company called ? I live in California and trying to find a company like this !!

[@eliza_kai]

Start looking up traveling nurses on you tube. You’ll find a lot more information. I’ve been a Sonographer for about 20 years and looking into travel. I live in california and have been connecting with travel nurses to see how it all works.

[@ChrisPhamLe]

Why did you reupload? Did you see my last comment?

[@NikkitasNook]

Love that you got a tattoo 😂

Is your car interior pink?!
