Hi there! Welcome to my UA-cam channel.
If you are new here, I am a Disney loving Sonographer who works in a hospital setting and also has a second job in the outpatient setting. I strive to spread ultrasound awareness and PAWSitivity!! Thank you so much for being here, if you're a returning subscriber, you know how much I appreciate you!!!!
In today's video, I bring you to work at the hospital. You will see some cases that I performed. The cases shown in today's video include renals (kidneys), lower extremity venous, and a pelvic exam. Our hospital department is in charge of doing any general ultrasound exam (anything besides echo) within the entire hospital. This includes all patients that are admitted, patients who come through the ER, patients in L&D, and outpatients that are scheduled through their doctors. We are a very busy hospital and I try to videotape as much as I can with all my videos, without violating patient privacy and hospital privacy. All videos filmed are done on down time, and no patient personal information is shown. The video is solely for educational purposes as I aim to spread ultrasound awareness and help other students aspiring to enter this field of work. I hope you find this video interesting as many have asked for how to write worksheets and how the hospital setting works. Please enjoy and let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see or know!!! Lots of tips that I think students will find helpful in this video! Thank you for being here!
If you happen to enjoy this video, I'd appreciate it if you LIKED it and SUBSCRIBE to the channel for more fun adventures! I would love to have you join the SonoGes family. Every single one of you means so much to me! As always, take care, be safe, stay PAWSitive, be KIND, and we'll see you in the next one! XOXO, Ges.

HOW TO WRITE UP ULTRASOUND WORKSHEETS
#capthecaseload
Love these real time vlogs Geselle! Love to see and learn more about this field :) theres really not much people who do this! love that you are bringing this field out there!
Also thats some crazy equipement to wear ;o! just curious i noticed that sonographers really work alone, but is there really no time that you see your other coworkers? for example do you guys have a work station where you guys are all together? instead of being alone all the time?
Zannestyles, so glad you enjoyed the vlog. Makes me so happy to put out content you can really enjoy and learn from! I just wanna help one person out there, and I hope my channel does just that!
Yes, the equipment is much needed for our protection! Hehe. And we work alone solely when scanning the patients. The departments definitely could have more than one technologist on a shift. We currently have up to 5-6 technologists on a shift. We do have an ultrasound office and a tech area where other people and technologists would be too! We are mostly alone when scanning patients. But come break time, or down time, we can all be in the office or tech area together! :) I just don't typically videotape with coworkers or other employees around.
Most places will have up to 2 techs working! But a lot of places have one technologist. Just depends how big your hospital/ outpatient clinic is! I hope this answer finds you well. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
I was about to ask this too Geselle. Thank you for explaining 💛Glad at least you DO get some form of contact with your colleagues. Stay safe and healthy love!
@@TrishLee yes!! The department runs smoothly with communicating with your colleagues. With no communication, it’ll be much harder to do the job. We will see our coworkers in between patients or before and after our lunches, when they come in, or leave, etc! 🥰 We also have to explain what’s been going on, what needs to be done, and anything else that needs to be communicated. Appreciate you watching and supporting! ❤️
Glad to know there is still a team building! I really like that aspect in a job :)
Another hesitation i have between sonography and nursing is that i do really love to be part of a team and working closely together, i feel it helps me learn that way instead of being alone all time time if it makes sense? I mean i can be alone but i just want to be sure im doing things right? I feel like it will create a lot of doubts in my head thinking if im doing it right or so on. Idk maybe i just need some type or reassurance or something ahah🤣 or maybe im just the type of person thats really nervous and just want to be assertive and make sure what im doing is 1000% correct. I feel like if im also able to see my teammates do their work i can observe their way of working and it can help me too.
@@zannestyles3871 your ultrasound department will be your teammates. You’ll most likely need to find a place then with multiple technologists and not work in an outpatient clinic or small hospital where you’re by yourself as a tech lol. I promise you the field is scary but they will teach you how to be confident in making decisions. You’re dealing with lives here, even as a nurse, people can’t always tell you what to do in situations. But I get what you mean with wanting to have reassurance. As you find a career though, you will learn how to be more confident in the things you do. 🥰
I got to have a real taste of what means to be an Ultrasound Technologist. Good job on the video!
NinjaAdvisor, at this point you pretty much know how to do our job! 🤪 Thank you so much for supporting me and the channel! You know how much it means ✨
@@lolgeselle Yup as a fellow UA-camr friend. I get you girl! I know how much it means to us!
@@NinjaAdvisor 🥰🥰🥰 supporttttinggg always!

I love you! This is what I was looking for
AHH! Sending you love BACK! Thanks for watching hun!
This is great!!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for watching !
Basically binge watching every single one of your videos. I like how you explain everything clearly and I start my prerequisites in January. Definitely think this is the career I want to pursue but I'm just hoping I will be able to remember stuff like this. Those scans looks confusing I literally see nothing but a blob of black and white 😅 I guess I'll learn those things just worried I retain the information. Btw how many questions are usually on the registry test?
Awww Ashanti you’re amazing thanks for watching and support the channel. Welcome to the SonoGes fam!!! You will definitely learn so much!! Usually there’s anywhere between 120-170 questions depends on the exam! 🥰🥰🥰 Don’t be a stranger! 💖
Can we get an update on how you're doing, please?
So cool. Thanks for sharing your experience.
thank you so much for watching!! means a lot!
Very cool! I’m thinking of going into diagnostic medical sonography next year. I thought about radiation therapist but I kind of getting to like this…cheers
that's awesome! keep on doing your research!
Lol 😂 the sirens 🚨 I also love 💕 your videos
Awww thank you heheheh 🥰
Great video, Geselleyyyyy!
Thank you for watching and supporting hehehehe 🥰
Omg its so much work! So stressful!! You gotta know everythingm
it definitely is a bit stressful but doable! we have to know a LOT but we don't know it all. :)
Have a great day ahead friend. Stay blessed.
Happy day friend!!!🤍🤍🥰🤍🥰🤍🤍
I loved the video such Amazing content ❤️🔥
Thank you hun!🤍🤍🤍
Very informative! 👍
Thanks for stopping by I appreciate you! ✨
I love these videos they're really helpful
Thank you Jasmin!❤️
Thank for another great, educational video! I loved the variety of images and findings. That worksheet is super organized! Would you consider doing a collab (or a Q&A) with an echo Sonographer in the future? I would love more info on what their day to day is like. I appreciate ya as always for your time! ❤️🙏🏽
Thank you Allyalleybooboo for always commenting and being present! I already know you will succeed in this career! Yes I’d definitely be interested in doing that for you! I’ll ask questions + figure out the differences in programs etc. You ask for it, you got it! ❤️✨ Thank you so much for your support, truly means the world to me!
Love this video. 🤍 Thank you for showing the ins and outs of hospital sonography.
Question. Why is the IVC and Aorta included in a renal exam?
Thank you!!! Appreciate you watching! In outpatient, I know some places do not include the IVC/Aorta. But at our hospital, we include IVC and Aorta because they are the retroperitoneal vessels that connect to the kidneys and we make sure they’re patent and don’t have any abnormalities like thrombus, calcification, or aneurysm. The hospital does a full check. Hope this helps 🥰 remember every location/ place of work protocols will be slightly different!
lolgeselle That makes so much sense. Thank you for replying. 😊
@@shainavaldez1408 of course thanks for watching! ✨
You know these vids are my favorite 🤗🤗♥️
Ahhh I love that you watch them! 🥺🥰 thank you for your constant support. You will do amazing in this field! ✨

Awww thank you mean so much!!! Have an amazing weekend🥰✨
Good job dear
you're so sweet thank you!
Amazing vlogs
Thank you! 🤍
Hi I’ve been following your videos a lot recently, I have a question do you know anyone who does echo and wouldn’t mind doing a video with you comparing and contrasting between general and cardiac. I’m applying to my school in a couple weeks for echo, my original choice was general but really sat down and thought about it and changed to echo. Love your videos!!
Hi Trisha!! Yes I can definitely do a video on echo and general differences!! I’ll also get some echo friends together! I so appreciate you and thank you for supporting and being here! Thank you thank you THANK YOU! 🤍
That reach to scan the left side is always challenging on ICU patients.. 👍
OH YES, definitely one of the struggles working in a hospital with an ICU! Then you gotta think of all the things in your way!
thanks po for sharing informative video
thank you for watching✨
Hey sissy! Keep safe always.
Thank you sissy I appreciate you always 🥰❤️
Thank you, I'm looking forward to the video.
Yay!! So happy to see you 🥰
@@lolgeselle Thank You ❤️🥰is the urinary bladder measured when it is full?
@@drei000 yes I’m going to post a post on the community tab so you can see it! In the video I also show a decompressed bladder with a Foley catheter
@@drei000 hi I just posted the bladder photo in the community tab for you to take a look at! It’s how we measure it! 🚽
@@lolgeselle Thank you Thank you great photo I'm looking forward to the Vidio.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Never give up!!!!🌞
I loveee your UA-cam channel and inform us how your job is. If you ever decided you wanted to become a nurse would that be possible or would it be difficult?
Thank you!! You can go into nursing but you'd have to make sure our pre reqs transfer to the nursing program you ultimately decide to go into!
👍👍👍
🥰🥰🥰
Have a great ahead my new friend
Thank you friend you too 🥺✨
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thanks for sharing this, mabuhay po kayo. From JC
Appreciate you so much! ❤️
That intro sucks me in everytime 😍😍
IT’S THE BEST😭😭😭😭😭
Do they tell you what unit you’ll go to ahead of time in your schedule or do you find out when you check in?
When I go in, the schedule just depends on what kind of exams are ordered... theres a list of patients with their room numbers and we just go wherever their room is. If they are in the ER we are actually in the ER department.
Hey, all of the measurements are given by the computer right. For example the Enlarged, heterogeneous prostate measuring (4.4 X 4.8 X 4.3 CM) those numbers the machine gave them to you accurately?
These numbers are from what I used to measure the prostate with the ultrasound machine, correct.
@@lolgeselle thank you so much for replying. Lol I got scared for a minute because I’m like umm please don’t tell me I will have to figure out the measurements myself 💀
Hi there, new friend here. Thanks for sharing your job. I wish i can share mine. Nhor’s
thank you so much I am so appreciative !
If I get certified for OBGYN but nothing else, will/can I only work in cases involving OBGYN?
You can scan anything you want and be certified in anything you want. I am not certified in OB/GYN , and I scan them. I also am certified in abdomen and vascular and I scan everything including pediatrics.
Did you do this live? Where are the comments coming from?
it was in the live premiere chat!
Hiii, I’m new here☺️
Hi Daisy! Welcome to the SonoGes fam!
@@lolgeselle Hello, yes I am!☺️
How do you measure things like cysts using the machine?
the machine has calipers on it that we use to measure with.
How long of a break can you get for a 12 hour shift?
Usually it's a 30 min lunch break, and 2 15 minute breaks. But sometimes you will have a late or early lunch, depending on if you work in a hospital or outpatient. And many times you don't go on time at an outpatient place. It all just depends
I’m thinking of working as a cardiologist technologist in a hospital what’s your opinion on this thank you
that's awesome! it's a great field :)
Do you take off your watch when performing ultrasounds ?
i only remove the watch when scanning pediatric patients / contact patients
hey hey hey
Herrrooooo🤍
I wish they let you record for educational purposes 😩😩
That would be cool if it were educational purposes! Unfortunately, patient information must be kept private! I'm hoping for one day I can film videos off the clock with machines and with coworkers but that takes time and is a whole other world. But there are plenty of other awesome UA-cam videos with great live ultrasound scanning information! :)
I am DMU Sonographer in Bangladesh and age 59 ys. I need a Sonographer job. If possible please make a opportunity for me.
