Hi Everyone! As some may know, I transitioned from MFM to OB/GYN. However not with a typical job. I actually became a contracting sonographer. This is very different than traveling sonographer, as in i stay local and just travel to different local offices to scan everyday!

First intro is me talking about what is contracting sonographer and how it is different than a typical job in sonography.

I've been thinking of going back to school and first i wanted to be a RN but i been thinking of Sonography . the past week your vids have helped a lot and enjoyable. So i know i will enjoy the career move also

@karynka-rin1907 Год назад

Wow you immediately got a job! Hopefully I get a job quick when I graduate. I'm so happy for you!

@sabrinaana8468 Год назад

Thank you so much for making these videos I’m praying that I can make it through school the program I want to attend is an hour away from me 😮so still kinda nervous about it but let’s hope for the best 🙏

@1075cheer Год назад

Thank you for this video. As you were talking, I was taking notes😉😊. I am all done with prerequisites now on to TEAS. 🤞

@lamonicastewart8456 Год назад

I Love This For You ❤ I Have Been Binge Watching Your Videos For The Last Week As A Current Student. You Have Given Me So Much Information! I'm Super Nervous But Super Excited. I Remember In A Video, You Said You Were Working On Fetal Echo. Are You Still Doing That Or Are You Still Just Abdominal & OBGYN? The Track At My School Is Abdominal, OBGYN, & Vascular!

Currently in school to become an ultrasound sonographer. This video was very helpful because I want to be a travel ultrasound sonographer but have kids. This would be a win win for me

this was sooooo helpful thank you so much 💗

@natalie75273 2 года назад

Love this! I do contracting sonography as well but all the locations are an hour or more away from me so I’m always waking up early 🥲 Also I have to sadly set up a machine at most locations!!!

@KristyDMS 2 года назад

I have to set up machines too at some of the offices! Wow an hour is so long. I did that for a while when I started but commuting made me upset lol so I decided to move. But I love it so far!

@foreverlove1517 Год назад

Loved your video! I've been thinking of joining the Sonography work place aswell, the only thing that's stopping me is the work schedule. I have two boys who require a lot of my time and working part-time is the only option for me. Do you know if part-time is available for the Sonography career?

@leezanou 2 года назад

Love this video! ❤️

Always appreciate you 💕

Did you struggle to read the ultra sound images when you first started?? Do the images get easier to read with time??

@Jasmine-rw2xu Год назад

Quick question, been thinking of moving to the south however sonographers get paid more in California. The cost of living in California is substantially higher as well..was wondering if I should work in CA first, save and then move down or just move down and accept the lower pay for the same job just cost of living is different. Need advice

What in your experiences is the best machine you've worked with for 3d/4d?

@tiffany7591 2 года назад

do you enjoy this career? i fell in love with this career and am going to college for sonography in september and i’m unsure whether this is meant for me or not.

@AnTran-cm6xc Год назад

Hi Kristy! I’m 35 and about to get sonography certificates. But my English is not really good. Do you think is ok to get certificate? Thanks in advance!

@kaitlynfrichtel5603 Год назад

If I have a bachelors in english, would I need to go back to school for the associates degree or could I do the one year certificate?

@cait9886 2 года назад

Sorry super weird question. BUT-What car do you have? I love love those pink seats!! Are they customs or just seat covers?

@chantall5516 Год назад

Hi! How do you get a contracting job (not travel) ? What agencies do that? Thank you in advanced!

@ninafiore4010 Год назад

Hi! I've recently been really interested in becoming a Sonographer. I came across your page and love your videos! They're very informational! Thanks for sharing. What is the typical salary if you don't mind me asking? Every website says something drastically different. Look forward to hearing from you.

@eliza_kai 11 месяцев назад

Depends on where you work. California is about $75,000 - well over $100,000. Not trying to blow up your page Kristy lol. Just looking around at travelers and found your page

@kellyd1831 Год назад

did you go to sonography school in the dmv area? i am looking for a school. thank you

@yifanyang3128 Год назад

Hi your posts are really helpful! Do you know associate + ardams will help international student get a h1b sponsorship visa?❤

@bubbles11262 2 года назад

Do you need a certain amount of experience for a position like this or do you not recommend this for someone coming right out of school? Would love to see a pros and cons video! 🤗

@KristyDMS 2 года назад

Typically a good amount of experience under your belt would be ideal! This is just because the company is trusting you’re competent in scanning and seeing what you see. As a contracting sonography there isn’t a “boss” that keeps an eye on us when we go to these offices. So you have to be comfortable with working pretty independent!

@giselleb6813 Год назад

Hello Kristy, I just found your RU-vid channel 🙂 I have been very interested in joining the program and I was wondering if you attended a program in CA or another state? If you did attend in CA, do you have any recommendations on which program to apply to and what exactly are the pre-reqs I need to apply? I was also worrying about salary because there have been a couple of people make comments that it is hard to find a job in CA as a DMS, is this true?😓

@yarazard Год назад

Hey Giselle, I just wanted to let you know that pre-reqs depend on the school but the basic ones are sciences and math like physics and biology. Also, some programs require a Bachelors, while others do not. If moving is not an issue for you, you should check out the schools in TX!

@wendyalice685 9 месяцев назад

What company is this? I want to see if there is anything similar to this in my area.

@courtneyn4157 Год назад

@kristydms hey Kristy,how are you? My name is Courtney, and I just got accepted into the cardiovascular sonography program here at my school and I am planning on doing a paid internship while in school. Do you have an tips or suggestions on what I should put on my resume since I don’t have experience within the field yet? However I do have plenty of customer service experience which I feel will go hand and hand! ❤

@eliza_kai 11 месяцев назад

Your school should place you in a clinical site.

@saphire60 Год назад

what procedures do you have to do? i thought it was only scanning

@eliza_kai 11 месяцев назад

Haha! This is probably one of the biggest misconceptions about Ultrasound. I worked at a local trauma hospital my entire career thus far. We did eveything from biopsies to OR cases and anything in between. We work hard. Outpatient isn’t quite as crazy but it’s very very busy outpatient. Again, not trying to hyjack your page lol

@yarazard Год назад

Did you negotiate salary instead of hourly, and how did you go about doing that?

@KristyDMS Год назад

i believe since i was willing to do fulltime, salary was offered. bc its a traveling type of job they needed you to flexible, which guaranteed a salaray based pay. however if i wanted to be part time, hourly was offered.

@kaitlyngortner2573 2 года назад

I am an OB/GYN sonographer in Southern California. What are some contracting companies like yours ? I have always been interested in Travel Sonography as well. Thanks !

@giselleb6813 Год назад

Hi Kaitlyn, do you get paid well in SoCal? Located in SoCal as well but can’t really find any info about salary for DMS. If you are willing to, would you be able to provide an estimate? :)

@kaitlyngortner2573 Год назад

Hi ! Right now I’m only getting 26$ and hour because I haven’t taken my registry. It’s also my FIRST job. The average hourly pay here is 30$-60$

@marisolrubio6923 5 месяцев назад

16 patients?? How do you do it?😢

@kaitlyngortner2573 Год назад

What is the contracting company called ? I live in California and trying to find a company like this !!

@eliza_kai 11 месяцев назад

Start looking up traveling nurses on you tube. You’ll find a lot more information. I’ve been a Sonographer for about 20 years and looking into travel. I live in california and have been connecting with travel nurses to see how it all works.
