Thinking about going to community college for Sonography after my Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree.

Hey everybody! Obvious newbie here. I am thinking about going into Sonography - either Cardiac Sonography, OB/GYN, possibly Vascular. I am currently in nursing school and have discovered this is just not my niche and I feel like I'm really struggling more than the average nursing student. I have a Bachelor of Applies Arts Degree in Human Development and Family Studies and a Master's of Science Degree in Health Administration. I would go to a community college here in my home state to complete this degree/licensure. I want to remain in the medical field as I do like that part of my life and current job I work in the Emergency Department. A couple of questions I have is:

- What am I looking at in terms of school wise (how many years would I have) combined with my Bachelor and Master's Degree?

- Any body with a nursing background here that felt that same as I do/did that went the sonography route?

- Will I be employable anywhere? I.E. is there demand for sonographers now and in the future?

Thank you in advance!

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

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!

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 ...
