I tried to cover all my bases on all the fun facts they don't share with you with searching about diagnostic medical sonography!!!

- Fetal Echo - 4:21
- Breast - 4:52
- Pediatrics - 5:12
6:17 -- Track 2: Vascular Sonography (RVT)
7:13 -- Track 3: Cardiac Sonography (RDCS)
8:38 -- SPI/Ultrasound Physics
9:15 -- Cross Training?
- 9:41 -- 5 year rule

@@jonaedorsey4611 Where I'm at, and depending on the school, you have to have a bachelors in Radiography Technology before receiving specialty training in other diagnostic imagery which sonography would fall under. So I have to go through my paces as an X-ray tech before moving on to sonography.

I’ve changed my career choice so many times.. first it was medical examiner, music major, dog training, child development major, veterinary major, and now I want to get into sonography. I am 23 years old and only have experience with teaching children. Ive always wanted to do something medical and accomplish something greater. I am going to meet with my college counselor and figure out where to begin

Hi! I apologize in advance for this being extensive. I had just got into the DMS program at Indiana University Northwest, which is great. After talking to an individual about his 9-year experience as a Sonographer, he only had negative opinions. He stated how physically tired he was, the extensive work hours, and how difficult it is to barely get by. This gave me the worst anxiety because, through your videos and others, I have seen that, just as in any other job, it can cause you to burn out and become physically tired. I worry that I will face difficult financial troubles and/or not have a healthy work-life balance, and I truly don't want to be put into that position. I know this is a career I feel I belong in, but is there any advice you can give me about this? I know there are ways to expand in this career, be in a healthy work-life balance, and be able to have pay that provides sufficient financial stability. When you have the chance, I would love to hear your advice. Thank you!

omg, same! I've tried looking at sonograms and what they are pointing at and I feel like I'm just staring at a grey screen! Working on trusting that I will actually be able to make sense of the sonograms once I start my program.

How old where you when you started your career? I am a cosmetologist I’ve done this for six years now I haven’t been happy with this decision that I made in 2012. I am now 27 years old. And i have been think about going back to school for almost 3 years now. But I haven’t made a decision but this is something that I’ve been looking at just a little nervous. 😩

I was 19 when I started my sono program! Graduated at 21! I also have a late birthday though and I never had another career choice I pursued after high school. I was the youngest in my program. Most people in my class were like mid 20s- 30/40 yr old. Don’t even worry about age. Never to late to start!!!

Dumb Q. I am going back to college later in life, I am ok with that and I am NOT a shy guy. My question is, fresh out of schooling, is $50/hr to start! doable or is that way high? Could I find that realistically or no way is that more like a 30$hr role? I know the answer is subjective but know that I will NOT be living in a massive city or an expensive state. I would be getting the 2 yr associates sonography in Central Florida and then move back up north for work, somewhere mid sized at best.

I’ve been asking every person i can... this may not be something that you can help with, but I have heard so many people say how difficult sonography school is and how competitive it is to get in a lot of schools..... I want to do this so bad but I’m afraid that I’m too dumb and/or I won’t make it into any school...? Am I being irrational or is this something that I should be worried about?

the competitive level for sonography isn’t that big if that makes sense. I’m planning on going to a school in FL so I checked into maybe 3 community college accredited programs here in the state. At one school a person with the highest gpa that was admitted into the program had a 3.5-3.6 as of last year. Another schools admitted gpa ranged from 3.3-3.4 which is pretty average. I would really just say is don’t worry about others success in this area because they probably are just as nervous as you. I was in your shoes trust me! Focus on getting the best grades you can get and don’t be afraid to negotiate your grade with your instructors/professors especially if you know you deserve a higher grade. 💕💕
