Ultrasound Tech – Good Career Path?

This Question From Alabama Nursing Schools | 1 Answer


QUESTION:

Does anybody have experience in this field or have any information? Being an ultrasound tech sounds very appealing to me, and it seems like something I may enjoy so I guess my question is, what all does this career require of someone? I know I will have to take alot of Biology and Anatomy classes, but once you get into this career field, what part of this will be used on a daily basis? For those of you who have chosen this career path, are you happy with it? Is it harder than being a nurse? (physically and mentally?) Thanks for any advice! Also how do I find out what schools offer a Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program in Alabama?

    I already answered your other question about DMS, but as for your question about using biology and anatomy on a daily basis…yes, you absolutely do. You have to know normal anatomy backwards and forwards so that you can easily spot pathology. There is not much they teach you in these programs that you won’t be using in your career. Once you enter a program (especially in the medical field) you are learning pertinent information that you can’t just forget after your test, you really will use it for the rest of your life.
    It is a great career path, there are tons of options and flexibility within ultrasound so you can focus in on the areas you really enjoy.
    Good luck :)
