Don’t let one persons point of view to distract you from achieving your personal goals. 😊everyone’s experience and life is different.
My class started two weeks ago. I already covered 7 chapters. Going to Ultrasound school I had to quit my job because my job was a 9 to 5 job. I am currently working as caregiver. I think that's the best job for someone, who is going to school just work during the weekend overnight shifts wont hurt. you can bring your book at work try to study while your patient is asleep.
What school did you get into? Did you need to shadow before being accepted? Was there an interview process?
@@nilsolsen8727 New York medical career training all you need is an associate degree in health&science. Make sure the school is accredited. Even if you meet the requirements they might not accept you, it’s a competitive program. Make sure the recommendation letter is on point.
@@lulutheblessing3560 is that school accredited ? and hows it going so far ?
@@alysilva8355 yes, it’s accredited. I just finished my physics class ain’t worry about the SPI right now smh so much stress taking that class.
@@lulutheblessing3560 oh okay nice ! And you mentioned having an associates before hand ? 😭 I got nothing will they decline me cuz of that ?
As someone who worked 40 hours overnight PLUS 40 hour clinical weeks, trust me when I say it is ROUGH. Loved this video!
@jessicafaulknerrr prayer and crackers
I am currently doing my prerequisites and this has been CONSUMING me in my sleep! Trying to figure out the best way to have income for my bills while dedicating a lot of my time to school. As the days go by, I’m always thinking about what will lead me to success so I am prepared when the program starts 😩 This is definitely something you have to situate ahead of time. I pray this all works out for me because I REALLY see the light at the end 🙏🏽🙏🏽
you sound like me. Hang in there!
@@keaundriamarshall802 You too, we got this!
I’m starting school in a couple of days for DMS. I talked to my grandmother and she suggest bartending or serving during the actual DMS classes/clinics. That’s the most flexible job I can think of. Good luck!!!
I can definitely relate. Keep praying, and I’m praying for you as well! It is a struggle getting through ultrasound school. I’ve been so sleep deprived and stressed but trust me, you will get through it!
whew this gonna be me soon but i have to keep my mind on the future
I work full time at a bank but it is soooo unfulfilling to me. I want to do ultrasound so bad 😭 thinking about making that sacrifice and leaving the bank for a career that I want.
Omgg same I also work at a bank and decided to go into ultrasound
Omg hi i quit my job at the bank to go back to school for sonography!! I was a teller, and while I loved some of the clients, I hated sales goals
same here.. i don't like corporate banking, i feel like sonography is so much more impactful!
Very good advice! 👍 I realized while planning that I needed to take one prereq class at a time while working to save as much as possible BEFORE applying to sonography school. I already know that I do not want to be in a position where I need to work while in such a demanding program. I want to set myself up to do my best and focus on my studies and not having to worry about finances eliminates a huge part of the stress. Planning is key. The field & need for techs is not going anywhere anytime soon so no need to rush, crash, & burn. Best to you with everything & congrats on the engagement 💍!
Thank you so much! You’re in the right position by preparing before you start, and there’s definitely no rush! You got this! Thank you for watching!
I am so thankful for this video! I will be switching careers from CNA. This is a scary journey! I'm going in with an understanding that this is just a season! Thank you for sharing your information "WE GOT THIS " and God has us!!!
Let's get it 💗💗💗
Yes ma’am!! I definitely understand because the unknown can be very scary, but YOU GOT THIS! 💗 I am so glad that I could help!!
Girl I hate to say goodbye but I think you have finally helped me make up my mind. All the best wishes!~ Thanks!
What did you chose?
@@CrazyBunniePanda lol 😅
I appreciate this video as I have a better understanding of what’s expected. I’m officially discouraged.
I’m sorry you feel that way. It wasn’t meant to discourage you. You are capable of more than you think!
I’m almost done with my prerequisites. Next fall I’ll be able
To apply ❤️ so happy for this video.
Good luck. I’m waiting to hear if I’ve been accepted, too. Im so nervous. I hope I get in.
@@FutureRegisteredNurseupdate plz did ya get in? 😃
I made these sacrifices to be a MA and now I’m preparing myself to sacrifice for sonography school … I’m a single mom been out of work for about 8 months and I’m doing my internship for free I realized that work and school wasn’t gon do it for me so I chose school but I did work my first 3 semesters so it does really depend on how much u can handle
I’m wishing you the best of luck! You got this mama!💗
You must have an excellent support system, which is awesome
Thank you for this… I’m starting the cardiac sonography in this coming Fall at Washburn University. I do the courses online and do clinical at my job. I am very excited!
I wish the best of luck to you! You’re going to do great!
Can you do a day in life as sonography tech . Like morning getting ready for work , at work and showing a little of what you do
Hi love, I just posted one! I’m going to start trying to make more vlogs. It’s my first one, it just takes a lot to make them😭
Thank you so much for your video! I love your comment about school being only for a season! You stay so positive and realistic! Thanks boo! Hope you are doing well(:
Thank you so much!! I am just now seeing this, but I really appreciate it! Thank you so much for watching🤍
I only have to take 4 prerequisites
Physics
American literature
Speech
English comp
Omg that sounds amazing 😭
This was really great advice and I love that you keep it real
Thank you for watching!!
I’m finishing up my prerequisites so I can apply next year and I’m so nervous. I’m working and going to school rn and I’m struggling so I can only imagine how hard it’s gonna be when I’m actually in the program
You got this! It’s all about mindset!
Thaaannnk you so much . I needed to hear this. I am so trying to find out if this is the way for me to go. Your information really put things into perspective.
You are so welcome
I really appreciate this vedio since I understand what’s ahead of me. I have been doing prerequisites for the last 2 years and working full time. Hope i will get into the program soon
Thank you for watching! I wish you good luck!!
Thank you boo. Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
I just hope having minor eres palsy in one of my hands won’t affect me too much if I’m accepted in the program. It may make it more tricky to work with the ultrasound machine, but I know I can do it. Is anyone else in the same situation as me? How did you get around this asa student and or worker? Thanks!❤😊
I’m deciding between sonography and nursing 😢
Same!!
@breonna842 it's such a hard decision
I remember when I was in that position. Give it some time, and the answers will come to you!
This may be different from the comments you usually get- but may I ask about your makeup/skincare routine? :0 Also- I'm currently in highschool wanting to go into neurosonography- would you recommend choosing the closest accredited college to your hometown, or does ranking in ultrasound schools matter/influence your learning there?
Asian?
Thank you so much!! I still feel like I am trying to perfect my makeup/skincare routine 😭 but I usually try to keep it simple. I will to get a video out about it soon! I will say that accreditation and learning is very important to your experience at your school, but you still can get a good education at a school closer to home. You may have to put in a little extra work if the school isn’t the greatest, but I personally chose to go to a school closer to home because of the convenience. If you don’t mind driving further of having to move then going to a school that’s a little further away, but gives you a better education may be your best bet!
@@cierrabreanna your makeup looks gorgeous!!😭 thanks so much for your response
I loved this video! It popped up on my UA-cam while I’m a week away from starting sonography classes. I actually did my prerequisites before even getting in the program so I’m starting off with 1class for the first semester which is intro to sonography. I’m so scared😩 and being pregnant I feel like will make it even harder. I just want to know what studying techniques did you use. Like did you have any apps that helped you?😭 this is my dream career and I’m almost at the finishline, so I want to do it right. Also the first day of school, what did you bring? MacBook, notebook, and pencils/pens? Highlighters etc? Please let me know, I’ll be very thankful🤍
Hey love! I hope I didn’t respond too late, but I didn’t really need to bring much the first week. I brung the essentials like a notebook, pens, pencils, highlighters, and my MacBook. Make sure you bring the required books needed for the class that you’re in.
As for apps and techniques, that’s a lot to explain. I’ll have to make a video on it. I also have a video on how I study in ultrasound school. I’m planning on making a updated one soon, but u hope it helps! I wish you good luck!!
I was a dental assistant for 14 and a half years and I think I want to start this program
I’m sure you’ll do great in whatever you decide!
What editing software do you use? Your videos are so neat and easily digestible. Thank you girl!
So I have a question this might sound stupid but I am just getting started into like wanting to be an ultrasound. After you get your degree, do I need to do anything else or could I just start working? Like is there a test or do I have to do some time of internship lol I feel real stupid but I figured if I didn't ask I wouldn't know till I am in the class lol
Lol that’s not a stupid question, that’s a great question! While you’re in the program, you must pass the SPI before you graduate. If you don’t go to a accredited school then you will have to take the ARRT before taking your boards to become ARDMS certified. If your school is accredited than you can just take the ARDMS board exam not the ARRT. This is confusing to explain so I’ll definitely make in depth video on it to explain these tests, but yes there is a board exam you must pass before becoming ARDMS certified which is what most ultrasound jobs require in order to apply.
@@cierrabreanna Olay, thank youu! I'll definitely look forward to your video! And my college is accredited so basically I'll just take my SPI during the program and then the ARDMS when I Graduate. All right thank you so much!
Nice job baby!
I honestly did not pay attention at all during my pre req physics class. I start my ultrasound physics class tomorrow and I’m worried.
I think you’ll still be okay, but just make sure you take advantage of tutoring, create study groups and be consistent with studying. You got this!
Are you doing ok
Ty I am s debating between neuro or cardiac I want to be highest paid and specialty as week . Advice or tips
i’m so thankful for your page ! i did have a question . did you go to school year round or do you end up having a semester off how does that work?
Very true!!! ❤
So your saying that prerequisite are different for every Technical college and University?
Yes! It may be slightly different, but should be similar. you would just have to research what are the prerequisites for the schools that you’re interested in.
I’m going to school next year and I wanna do sonography or rad tech I have a 1 year old who will be 2 by the time I go to school. I’m very nervous! I wanna get a bachelors but can’t find a school near me who offers a bachelors. Any advice ?
You may have to research some online ultrasound schools/bachelors colleges. Once I finish ultrasound school , I’m planning on getting a bachelors, but I know I won’t have time to go to a traditional college because of work so online bachelors degree colleges is the next best option.
Talk to the counselors at those schools to see if you can do a associates degree program and see how you can use it as credits to go towards your bachelors degree. You got this girl!
Hey girl, I have 3 kids and my youngest is 2 years old… I’m currently in a program to get my bachelors , it’s tough at times but not impossible, you can do it girl! You’ll find what works for you, just remember that it’s to better and benefit you and your family in the long run.
@@cierrabreanna thank you so much !
@@desireeroybal8090 thank you for this sometimes I freak out thinking about managing school and being a mom but hearing from other moms who are doing it helps so much.
@@desireeroybal8090 That is so inspirational. My son would be 4 by the time I get into the program (fingers crossed). You’re seriously my role mode
Thank you for sharing
So question , I have a one year old and being pregnant again this video is so so helpful ofcourse , but I’m in Georgia and it’s hard to find these programs , but would it be smart being as that I didn’t take my pre reqs yet to go to a community college for that ? And then transfer those pre reqs credits out to a different school to actually start the program is that possible ?
My GF wants to do sonography but we don’t know what laptop to get anyone have any recommendations
Any laptop is fine. I have Apple, but she could use anything
I am foreign medical doctor. Can you suggest any ultrasound technician school in NY?
Would love the advice as well
Hi! I wish I could help you on this, but I don’t know much about the schools in NY. I’m from the South, so I mostly know about the schools in my area. I’m sorry :(
We have a website for portable ultrasound devices, would you be willing to help us create a trial feedback video?
I know clinical you will have to probably work a part time job but is some ultrasound schools have night classes
Not that I know of. At my college our classes are structured for morning classes. Some technical classes may have it. If you don’t have to be at clinicals 5 days a week for your specific program then I’m sure you probably would be able to make time to work. It’s all about what’s comfortable for you.
How are y’all finding programs what work with work ? I cannot find anything and I really want to get into the program
Same like she said i recommend working an overnight job , and maybe a weekend job because those clinicals are crucial hours plus studying
How long does it take to complete the program including the pre reqs?
For my program, it takes 2 years
@@cierrabreanna did you have any degree or anything prior to starting? Sorry I’m new to all this. Single mom of 3 and I don’t know If I can dedicate 4 years to school.
Did you have to take the HESI exam and if you did which subjects were on it??
I don’t mean for this to be a stupid question, but when you say “it’ll only take a season.” What do you mean? Like a literal weather season/ a semester??
I’m wanting to go into sonography but barely working has me stressed 😅
She’s trying to say ‘it’s just a season of your life’ like it’ll be difficult but it won’t last forever, you’ll get through it
Do you recommend a CAAHEP school only? Why or why not?
Check the ARDMS prereq chart. It details the different paths you can take. A common misconception is that you have to go to CAAHEP accredited school
I went to a non accredited school and still got my certification. I just had to take an extra test which was the ARRT
@cierra Breanna are you on your feet all day at clinic ?? If so what shoes do you recommend ?
Yes but it depends on the facility. Some places have ergonomics chairs to sit in while you scan while others are so busy that you don’t have time to sit. Girl I’m still trying to find some good shoes myself😭 but I think Nike running shoes, On clouds or running shoes with good heel support have been the most comfortable when I’m walking back and forth around the hospital. If I find specific ones I’ll let you know! I would not recommend clogs, simply because the ones I’ve bought haven’t been comfortable. They’re more for aesthetics and facilities where you don’t walk around a lot
is there any way that i can get this degree online?? ❤️❤️❤️ maybe do my internships in person of course while doing my school work online??
I’m not sure! I haven’t heard of any, but most of in-person because we have to get a certain amount of lab hours on the machines at school. If you find any let me know!!
You can do most if not all of your pre requisites online and there are probably some core classes online but the majority of schools will require you to go on campus for labs and for an internship. Hope this helps 😊
How are you able to not work for 7 months?
I want to start but I’m about to have a baby next month! When is it an appropriate time to start?
I wish I could answer that I don’t have any babies yet so I’m not sure😭. I guess it would just depend on how much you can handle. I wish you good luck❤️
Hello im done counseling pyschology in diploma how can become degree sonograph and if posible tell me please 🙏
Do you know any good schools that are best with this type of study ?
Hi! There are many, but it honestly is contingent on your learning preference and how much money you choose to spend on education. Some programs are more expensive than others, but the only ones I know much about are the ones in my city. I hope this helps!
Aquarium institute
If you get your ARDMS do you need to get the AART?
No, only if your school requires you to take it or you want to have both. Most employers in the US prefer for you to have ARDMS.
What are the pre-requisite for sonography?
Is this a job I can do as a male?
of course
What school you went to?
Southeastern College
@@cierrabreanna wish there was a fast program instead college route
Which school you went to
Southeastern college
..is ur necklace a nuse?
It’s an infinity necklace.
It’s “Noose”…
This motivated me so much🤍 I know it’s going to be hard but worth it
I’m so glad that I could help! You’ll going to do great. I wish you good luck!
How were you able to pay car notes or any bills during clinics?
I didn’t start to pay mine until after i finished school. Thankfully, my parents were able to help while I was in school though
