Lisa I am graduating form a echo tech program. I should start my extern ship next month I really would like to do my extern ship in Arizona. I am just coming out of school and have no experience. My question to you is; will i be able to find employment in Phoenix with little experience?

It is more competitive and there are more schools. I'd look into nursing before echo, or general ultrasound.

We have $55K+ full benefits opportunities in VA, MD, NC, OH, WA, CA, ATL, OKC, New Orleans, and Houston for qualified technicians. My e-mail is apurks@icardio.net

There are always willing hospitals across the country that are willing to help through externships. There are also many cardiology practices that would be willing to do that. My suggestion would be to contact the hospitals directly to learn more about the externship programs.

I have experienced a great need for Pediatric Echos, especially in the Phoenix area. I know that most of the hospitals would like the person to be registered and if not, within 6 months of hire date. The more specialization, the better. For instance, I have a pedi echo tech that is registered and she will make over $100k this year.

I agree, obtaining an RN allows you more flexibility. As far as echo or general ultrasound: There are about 5-7 techs in major university hospitals. 1-3 in community hospitals. There is not very much movement in the ultrasound sector. To get a position there has to either be growth in the hospital division, or physician office growth for there to be an opening. It seems that experiences techs will get the jobs that open. Therefore, it is very hard to break in to the field. But, having an RN you can travel the world and always have work.

Hello, I finished school a couple months ago and still looking for a position as an echo tech. Luckily I'm working in a hospital doing ekg's but no luck finding any echo positions because I'm straight out of school. I would be willing to move out to Arizona!
