  • On May 15, 2019, Montgomery College's DMS Program Class of 2019 graduated!!!! This is my recap of the pinning ceremony and our amazing celebration! Don't judge me for celebrating bc I have worked SO HARD to get to this moment! This journey to becoming a sonographer was a make it or break it journey and I sure was not going to let it break me!
    I started the program at 19 being the youngest in my class and was always talked down to or underestimated bc I was so young, but look at me now, I am 21 as a registered diagnostic medical sonographer in ABD AND OB/GYN with the same credentials and making that money at the same level as others.
    I share that just to show that you cannot get discouraged if you start your journey in sonography! You have to keep going, thats with any career in medical!
    I hope you enjoy this fun video bc I will and love the memories with it.
    Thank you MC, Dr. Zanin, and all the clinical staff for not failing us! BECAUSE WE MADE IT.
    KRISTY LE RDMS IS HERE!!!!
    Feel free to contact me @KristyDMS on IG for any questions!! :)

    When you get a job in this field, can you make a day in the life video. I am curious what the work schedule is and how harsh the hours are.

    You motivate me more to go into the DMS Program the college I attend has !! I graduated 2018 from HS and i went for my fall semester of college but wasn’t able to go for spring meaning I didn’t finish my freshmen year in college.. and I feel very behind .. but you just motivate me even more!! I’m currently taking summer classes (I didn’t want to waste more time) and I’m currently focusing on prerequisites atm and when I’m done with those I’ll be ready to apply for program next fall! I just want to say thank you for your vlogs and encouragement!

      Margarita Perez I used to have another major so I practically wasted almost a year in college. I’m starting my first semester of the prereq for DMS now during summer B. I will be taking two classes but for fall and spring I will take 5 per semester. I’m quite nervous but 🤷🏽‍♀️ you never know till you try.

    Hi there! I’m currently in university in Canada and wanting to applying for sonography schools around Canada in the next few months. I was wondering if I could ask you some questions !
    -I was wondering where can students work in clinicals?
    -where are all the facilities sonographers can work in?
    -what would be the best specialties a sonographer have to get a job right after school?
    -does ones work pay for continuing education (if one wanted more specialties?)
    -what are the working hours like for sonography ? Is it possible to work Monday to Friday 8-4 kind of thing? Or always random, on call, night shifts?
    -thank you for your time!!! 🙏🏼
    Cheers,
    Natasha

    I would love to see a day in the life during your work day! I am pre ultrasound right now, and I’m debating going into nurse l&d. I like the lower stress that I think an ultrasound tech would have but I feel like nursing might have more opportunity to advance?

    Would you say sonography has alot of jobs and are high in demand? (I'm from Florida)

    • @futureboss3101
      @futureboss3101 Před 4 lety +2

      Danny Pham dude! Totally in the same boat. I ended up just doing both. Getting my lvn and then getting into sonography is now the goal. With the specialties that you can go into it’s literally a book you study and then there is a state test. Passing each test for each specialty brings u up in demand and your pay. Neuro seems to be the highest paid specialty where I’m at. Idk if this helps lol! But I’d say while your young and don’t have a fam to take care of do it! (Do both of possible) maybe finish nursing and work and see if u like it and go from there. Either way I’m sure you will do well. 😊👍🏽

    I will be applying for the limited access DMS program and I am so scared of not being selected and then backing out , for anyone that has been in a limited access program, exactly how hard is it? And when being selected based off of the “point system” , whats the recommended amount of points & is it recommended 100% to take anatomy 2?
