Sonography vs radiography tech

By

I'm really torn between which field is a better fit for me and this seems like the perfect forum to ask. What I'm really looking for is what the pro's and con's are for working in both fields. Honestly if there's literally anything you can tell me about being a sonographer or a radiography tech please include that. Also, sorry this post is so long.

>Questions I have whether you are a radiography tech or a Sonographer:

-Did you get an associates or a bachelors and did you see a difference in pay with either?

-How difficult was the program that you were in?

-Do you feel that your job physically takes a toll on your body? What do you do to keep yourself healthy?

-Can a radiography tech (or sonographer) advance in any way in their field (if so how)?

-What are some specific challenges you face daily?

-How do you feel about the future of your field? Do you think it's a good field to get into?

-What do you wish you knew about your field before you went to school/started working?

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...
