SONOGRAPHER PAY: Working as a college student + NEW GRAD income

"YOU MADE HOW MUCH AS A NEW GRAD?!"
What's up youtube fam and welcome back to my channel!
This video was created FOR YOU and BECAUSE OF YOU. I am so grateful for all the support and PAWSitive feedback I've received on all of my videos! Definitely keep the comments, questions, and suggestions coming because I read and respond to all of your thoughts!
I recently asked in my "How to get into a sonography program" video for you guys to get the LIKE button up to 50 likes if you were interested in *how much I made as a newly graduated sonographer/ultrasound technologist*. Slowly but surely, we made it past the 50 mark, many of you have been asking, so this video was created especially for those of you who watched that video. THANK YOU for supporting, following this new journey of mine, and for watching the videos and helping our SonoGes family GROW!
In this video, I speak about where my work ethic comes from.... why I work so much and why I actually ENJOY working. The money I made the year that I graduated did not come easy and I worked my boo-tay off during my last year of the ultrasound program. (Being a server, and working for two ultrasound companies definitely kept me busy.) I worked for a total of 6 years during college, mostly with 2-3 jobs at the same time. You can definitely call me a "work-a-holic". I wanted to make a good impression on everyone that I worked with and always have had the drive to be the best I can be in any workplace.
It originally was hard for me to get a job when I was younger and had no experience. I went from working in retail and in the food industry to working in the healthcare system (all jobs I had were from peoples' recommendations), and honestly all of my experiences helped me become the sonographer I am today. Customer service and quality of care is certainly a HUGE aspect of the ultrasound career.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, don't hesitate to message me on instagram, where you can reach me quickly!
THANK YOU AGAIN, spread PAWSitivity, be kind, and stay safe.
Wear your masks. And we'll see you in the next one.
XOXO, Ges.

    1st comment yay! I love your sonography videos! I'm also going to school for this. Can you do more work with me videos and how you deal with everything during this pandemic. Also do sonographers have to deal with needles and blood?

    Hey its Butterz Aw thank you so much girly! 🤍 I’m so happpy you’re going to school for sonography! Sure, I definitely will make more work videos! 🥰 And I’ll explain more about the pandemic! We don’t necessarily work with needles and blood like nurses and phlebotomists do but if you end up working in a hospital, or some certain outpatient places, we do procedures like paracentesis, thoracentesis, biopsies, and some OR cases where you may have to set up stuff for the doctor. Or you maybe have to scan a patient in the ICU. But not so much & can be avoided if you work in different settings!

Hey question, did you have your boards right after you finished your program? ALSO! can you do a video on SPI. Like what material to focus on and how to study for SPI. I’m up for mine in a few weeks and I’m terrified lol. Anyway, I love all your videos I even showed a few to my abdomen instructor and she loves you too!! Keep going girl!!

Then after that; I took vascular as a hospital I wanted to work at required it! Yes I’ll definitely do an SPI video! You’ll do just fine if you have that green SPI book that everyone has haha. I’m so honored thank you so much for all the positive feedback! It’s people like you that make me wanna keep doing this 😍😭 if you need any help don’t hesitate to ask! ✨

The only difference a higher degree would do in terms of anything is if you want to move up into director of a radiology department or do higher education like teach/ become a professor/ maybe go into a business. But even then, the pay is the same between associates and bachelors. Pay is usually based upon years of experience. I hope this helps!

    Hey! I’m super interested in sonography. I was wondering if I should get an Associates in Radiography before I pursued sonography or if it even makes a difference? Also what is a typical schedule for this career? Is there 12 hour shifts or just 8 hours shifts? And I’m 17 and I know exactly how you feel with applying to jobs! A bunch of interviews but no call backs lol.

    Taniyah West hey!! Glad to see you have some interest in the field 🥰 every program is different so if it helps you, or if it advances you, you can do that. But typically you can get into a sonography program without needing a prior degree. As far as hours go, it differs across the board! You can have 8s, 10s, and 12s! Some places have 5-6 hour shifts. Depends if you’re full time, part time, or per diem. Lol omgggsh I hope you get a callback soon! I’m so glad you can relate! 🥰

Like I want to work solely at work and when I’m not at work I want to be completely stress free and not have to deal with any work related stuff. So what is that like?

    Hi Tamira! Yes, sonography in general is hard and stressful. But it won't follow you home. I leave behind what happens at work AT work, and when I go home, it's all behind me! You just show up to work, do your job, help others, support others, and take care of patients.. when you go home, you enjoy and take time and care for yourself and your family. It's definitely doable!

    LaShay ! Hey hey! Some weeks I’d work more than 40 hours but others I’d get paid more per exam. Or the additional drive time & extra hours I put in help. My average days off was maybe like 5-7 days. And I also still worked at my server job for a couple months before actually quitting. I’d say most places in ultrasound if you want to have a normal 9-5 or 40 hour type of schedule you could make about 60k without overtime or holiday pay!

Apply when you can. And if they ask you, or interview you, let them know you are in the process of studying and will take it soon. Just be open about it! Some places require it but others will allow you a time limit to take it like within 6 months - a year! So don’t be afraid to apply! And just go for it 😍 can’t wait to hear your update 🥰

    Hi Joselin! That’s a great question. Working two jobs as a per diem tech is very common. You let both know that you have two jobs, and you come to an agreement or conclusion on which place has priority or how the schedules work between the two. For example, my hospital is my priority so.. they do their schedule one month in advance. Then I give the outpatient facility the days I have available. And that’s that. You make sure you have time management and communication with both places! I’ve always had two jobs as a sonographer. Hope this helps!

    I went to school for 6 years because I was a nursing student at first and then switch gears to become an ultrasound technologist. My program was a 4 year bachelors degree in comprehensive medical imaging with an emphasis on ultrasound.

I want to move in a couple years, but get ahead and go to school in the meantime. But I don’t want to start if it won’t count in the end....

    Hi! Yes you can go to school in one state and go somewhere else to work and get certified. It doesn’t have to be in the same state. There are four specific states that require specific licensure but you can go to school anywhere and basically work almost places in the USA if you have the ARDMS registry. I forgot which 4 states require a state license but the other 46 do not.

It’s a great job, good career, stable. But you can be very stressed, it’s all hands on and you deal with patients in some of the hardest times of their lives.. you’ll meet people with cancer, masses, heart issues and more.
