Ultrasound Tech

[ettriguen]

I was thinking that its time for a career change and i'm interested in becoming an ultrasound Tech. I heard that there is good money to be made and also great career advancement opportunities.
Is any body here an ultrasound tech or know any body that it's one? I Just want to know the pros and cons before i make the change?

Let me know.

Thanks,

Ett.

My girlfriend is one, and i work in Interventional Radiology and CT Scan. There is good $ to be made but the RDMS (certification for Ultrasound) is a VERY hard test (I think around only 50% pass the first time they take it). If you're good in anatomy (alot of vascular and biliary stuff) and you think you can deal with patients, then it might be something to look into. If you have any more specific questions, feel free I'll help as much as possible. Career changes can be very tough...

Thanks,
I just wanted to hear what some people had to say about this field.
I did some research but it's always good to hear it from some body that has some actual hands on experience.
I'll shoot you a pm if i come up with some specific questions.

Again thank you,

Ett.
