SERIOUSLY, WHERE IS THE MONEY AT?

hello, i am interested in knowing any sono techs out there (especially in ny) that are willing to disclose salary information. i have seen other postings on salary, and the topic swayed into something else.

thanx

Most of the city-run hospitals have starting pay around $26-$28 dollars an hour.

it really depends on your experience and qualifications. a new hire w/o a registry might make $19-25 an hour. Someone w/ my experience w/ 5 + yrs exp and multiple registries makes in the mid 30's. It just depends, you have to set yourself apart from everyone else.

Has anyone gone through the program at CCAC in Pennsylvania? I am doing my prerequisites for the program and wanted to get any information about the program. Thanks.

CCAC very good program...I have trained many students from there! I live and work in Pittsburgh

Where are you training the students at? Any info you can give me on ultrasound would be very helpful..

I am an ultrasound Technologist at Childrens HOspital of Pittsburgh...We get students from CCAC all the time

Do you have an idea of what the salary is for a tech in Pittsburgh (entry level)?

Yes...like $15 an hr! It's horrible!!!!! Go to Cali...

What?? That's it? I thought it was way higher than that..Does it get better the longer you work?

entry level in cali is no better. they wont even look at you w/o oodles of experience. honesly, you want entry level you have to hit the urban areas that will start you at $25, and train you.

Not really..I have 10 years exp. and only make $20..Let me know if you find anything different in the pittsburgh area!

Wow, I thought it was alot higher than that. I haven't even started the program, justing taking the prerequisites right now..

SALARY RANGE FOR NEW YORK ULTRASOUNS TECHS IS...? DOESNT SEEM LIKE SALARY.COM IS ACCURATE

No..but I am looking into it!

I am a tech in Pittsburgh and make 28.00 per hour. with 10 years experience. CCAC's program is a good "accredited" program. You should do well there. If you want to make a lot of money.........MOVE to a state with few Ultrasound programs. They will throw all kinds of cash at you. Good luck!!

By the way, right across the border in West Virginia they pay 20.00 per hour right out of school.

I am just trying to find out what is the best career to get into these days, especially with the economy so bad, you kind of have no choice but to do something that is definitely in demand. I have been pondering on becoming an Ultrasound Technician, not really my cup of tea... but, nonetheless, I am interested to know if its a good field. I hear it's good pay but eventhough I may not be 100 percent sure I want to do it, is it one of those careers that I will grow to love? I realize there will be lots of direct contact with patients, Is it stressful? Does it require lots of or minimul supervision? Does it have flexible hours? Most importantly is there some kind of comfort or easeness to this position?

Any Ultrasound Techs please reply
thanks alot
