ICU nurse here! I love sonographers! Very important members of the health care team. This video was well made and a great resource for those interested in pursuing sonography. Will definitely share this with anyone interested in the field 🤗👏🏽

[kaileygabrielle]

you definitely broke everything down and explained so well. thank you very much! i’m currently in school for majoring in radiology and then i plan to specialize in ob/gyn sonography ☺️

I learned so much thank you! I’ve changed my career choice so many times.. first it was medical examiner, music major, dog training, child development major, veterinary major, and now I want to get into sonography. I am 23 years old and only have experience with teaching children. Ive always wanted to do something medical and accomplish something greater. I am going to meet with my college counselor and figure out where to begin

[kellyaryn]

I get regular ultrasounds on my breasts for my tumors and the woman always make my day that’s what inspired me to go into sonography

I’m one month into the program and it’s so much work 😫 but I just know it will be so worth it so I’m doing my best, I commented under one of your videos how I had an interview for the program out of 300 applicants they only choose 15 I’m so blessed and your videos helped motivate me into wanting to get into the program more

[chetlynn]

Thank you for clarifying the Physics portion of the program. The mathematical part definitely held me back on pursuing the program because math is my weakness but now I might just go forward with the program 😅 Still have to do more research on my part though.

I start my prerequisites in august! I’ve wanted to do DMS for 7 years and after babies and life, I finally get to start. I’ve watched about every video you’ve made and I’m still so excited and thankful for your page. ❤️

[meganp]

Thank you! I was wondering about this just yesterday and feeling overwhelmed. Perfect timing!

[rainiergomez]

I dont usually comment on videos but your video is so thorough a school should buy your video and use it as a intro guide to students who are interested in sonography but not sure how the road works.
Thank you so much for the info!

Great video. I just finished my first semester in my cardiac sonography program where we will also learn and train for vascular as well. Really enjoying it but it’s tough work for sure.

[victoriachanel]

Kristy! You’re legit a good friend to all sonography students. Totally helping us through this journey. I’m on my first semester and seeing your videos have helped with my classes and to understand how sonography works. I completely admire you!! Keep doing your awesome work 💖

[kyracarmody]

After 3 years of trying to get into school I’m starting DMS school next week, I’m so excited🙌 I’m watching everything I can find on sonography and I love your videos 💕

I'm only in middle school but I know I am going to be a RDMS when I grow up. Your channel is very inspirational.

I don’t even know where to begin, Im lost

Out of all the Ultrasound/Sonography videos I’ve watched, yours has been the most helpful when trying to get a clear understanding of sonography. Thank you for breaking down the basics and the credentials. This helped me so much in trying to decide which route I want to take!
