This was a great insight to your overnight shift. The pediatric cases, like the one year old and his mom, will definitely make me cry. Hopefully I can learn to keep my composure and stay calm. Thanks for another great video lady and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week.
Awww, thank you Crystal!! Yeah it definitely can get tough and emotional. 😭 You will definitely learn. I have a video that’s coming up, pretty emotional hard day for me… if you’re okay with hearing about a miscarriage it’s definitely one to tune into. I hope you have an amazing week!!! ❤️
@@lolgeselle you're welcome. Yeah, learning the dark and difficult aspects of being a sonographer is an important lesson to learn too. I look forward to your next video.
@@Csmi24 it really is.. thank you !!
Finally!!! a day in the life video that isn’t half the video making your coffee or lunch, small video of walking in and then making dinner after work 😂 great video! thank you!
Aww, hahah, thank you! I love doing day/week in the life videos!! I hope you binge watch all of them because I definitely include so much more than people think! Thank you for watching and let me know which day in the life/week in the life video is your fave! I have a new one coming out tonight at 6pm as well! I hope to see you there.
This was awesome! Thank you for sharing 💕. I’m an upcoming RDMS . I’m currently doing my pre req courses! So glad I came across your channel 🙌🏾♥️
Thank you so much!!! Ahhhh, good luck on the journey! We’re here for you! 🎉✨
awesome video geselle!! i like how you explain your studies, it’s so informative and helpful for a student like me :)
Thank you so much Abby!!! I appreciate you watching, supporting, and commenting!! I love being able to help and be part of your journey! 🥰❤️
Thank you for this video. I love how different each patient is and you never know what you’ll run into.
Thank you so much for watching, love! I really appreciate your support and friendship. Yessss every patient is sooo different. My day is always different! Lol!
Love this. I cant believe I will be doing this after graduation. I claim it!
I am excited for youuuuu!✨
Thank you so much for sharing, Geselle! Question for you - would you recommend entry level Sonographers to begin with night shifts or day shifts?
Hi!! I recommend whatever is best for you that fits your schedule. Regardless, you will learn on either shift. Night shifts tend to be a one person thing though, so if you need others to be there with you, day shifts will be better.
Good to see the insights! Got a few more months till placement so this is wonderful to see. Solid podcast by the way 👏
Thank you James!!! Omgsh I appreciate it and am glad you’re listening to the podcast!!!!! 😍😭 Means a lot to us!!!!
thank you for a view into night shift. I got offered the 3rd shift at a hospital, and was debating the pros and cons.
Of course! Thanks for watching! I loved night shift to be honest. The only cons for me was the sleep, but everything else made it one of the better shifts for me.
Great video!!!! I’m currently taking my prerequisites as well!!!!! After these 2 I have 4 more classes to take then I can apply to get into my program!!!!
YAYY Keshauna!! Good luck!!!! You got this!
Hi Geselle, great video Thank you. Can you please do videos about pylorus and intussusception the techniques and protocols. I am a recent ultrasound Sonographer never had done those studies yet. Thanks
Yeah I definitely can!!! Thanks for asking 🥰
Appreciate the support 💕
Hi I currently work in the post office as a mailman and have been miserable tomorrow I put in my two weeks and have heavily considered doing sonography it feels a passion I’ve always had is it a challenge getting into a program? Thank you in advance!
Hey there! I have some videos on this if you check out my ultrasound playlist. It can be challenging but it's definitely doable if you are passionate!
Hi dear, I have been following you for some time now. I am thinking of going for sonography too. And, physics isn’t my forte although I wish to hear your opinion on it..can someone who isn’t good at it still go for it?
Hi!! Yes don’t let physics bring you down. As long as you try to pass your classes and learn how to do ultrasound itself, physics shouldn’t stop you from pursuing your dreams!
@@lolgeselle thank you dear😃
Hey I love your videos! Thanks for putting these together. Do you read book or magazines while you’re on the toilet? It came to mind during the video and I was wondering if it’s something you like to do. Keep up the awesome work and I look forward to your future videos
thanks for watching and supporting the channel :)
Loved it! So if you're already in the middle of a scan and a stat is ordered would you have to stop what you're doing to go do the stat and finish the other scan later?
Thanks Amy!!!
I start my core program January 10th!!!!! 🙃🙃
Omgggssshh so exciting!!!!!!😍😍😍
How many studies you do per shift?
Depends on the day but anywhere from 12-16. I’ve done 21 on the busiest day… which isn’t often to do otherwise I might break my back lol.
👍❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Do you prefer graveyard or day shift?
For my hospital specifically, I prefer graveyard.. it is a lot less crazy, I can do what I want to do, no supervisors/admin usually at night and the staff is usually more chill/friendly. Everyone has different reasons why they like either or though. They both have pros and cons!
Do.you get paid more working graveyard?
We get a shift differential, yes!
Hi Geselle, I love your video and how do you become a ultrasound tech?
Hi Jazlyn thanks for watching!! You'll have to go to a sonography program and complete it - get registered in ARDMS! :) I have a video on this!
I have a question. I am in my first year of ultrasound school and I am very interested in IVF sonography. All the jobs say fertility experience is required, but I don't know where you go to get that experience ? I will be registered in Abdomen and OB when I am done with school. Should I move toward working for an OBGYN office after I graduate, do they offer fertility experience there? Or are there some online certifications I should get? Any advice you have would be great. Or if you know an IVF sonographer and did a show on how she made it up the ranks, that would be incredible! Thanks. You are the best.
Hi Jennifer!! This is interesting because I don’t know any IVF sonographers but I can suggest to you Jamie Lynn who is a MFM Sonographer! Or KristyDMS she’s an OBGYN sonographer! And I’m sure they will know more information for you! I’d also suggest asking in the Facebook sonography groups as there are thousands of people in there willing to help! I think anything close to OBGYN will give you an in in that area of expertise! 😋 Good luck and keep me updated!
@@lolgeselle Thanks so much for the reply. I had a feeling that was the case and I am good with that. That was my first thought before IVF anyway.
What is the guidelines for a fetal ultrasound?
It depends on the type of exam
Are you a general sonographer?
I am a general and vascular adult and pediatrics sonographer.
Sheesh 13 to 15 patients per tech or between two techs?
Per sonographer! We’re very busy. We can do at least 2 per hour if we really tried lol. But we get lots of rest and down time between patients. 🙂
