Re: Anyone a sonogram technician

I am seriously debating it, I like to work, but this schlep into Manhattan and Brandon being at school for so long everyday really isn't making me happy

I'm not one, but I think that would be a great job. I'd be interested in finding out info too!

You need a BA to become a sonogram tech. Post has the program, Brooklyn Downstate and NYU.

There is a school on LI also, but I havent heard good things about them

Michelle, my sister is an ultrasound technician. She had to go to a technical school for 2 years (classroon/practical experience) and then take certification tests. I want to say that she did this through the Veterans Hospital but I'm not sure (its been a few years since she was in school).

My sister is going to start school to become one through a Tech. School in Suffolk. It's a full time (8AM-6PM) 2 year program. Half of the time is spent in the classroom and half is spent in clinical rotations.
