The look alone of your home makes me want to become a technician
omgggg same!!! I am currently in social work but definitely considering making the change to this amazing career
@@mayelungiss I am in the exact same position! I love working with my clients but I think I have gotten to the point of being burnt out
@@mayelungiss I quit social work this year to pursue a new career. Sonography and Dental Hygiene are my top choices.
@@seantel86 Omg that's so awesome! Social Work is too emotionally draining, you get dumped with so much work, only to not be respected as a professional and BE PAID CRAP! I wish you all the best
@@seantel86 mine too! 😬
Omg please do more ultrasound videos!! I am super interested in the field and I loved the way you explained the scans!!
Thank you!! I am planning on it💗

Hi I’m using
Ultrasound Tech
AcarZero Home Against Dust Mites.
Hey, great video, I am in Radiology Technology, and one thing I would add to your day is changing your scrub as soon as you finish your shift before getting inside your car and definitely not sitting on your couch with it, hospitals and clinics are full of sickness that you don't want in your home, I use to do that and regrated very much so, after bringing some viruses to my family and myself as I didn't use mask inside my car or in my home : ) anyways, great info on ultrasound, my friend is applying for the course and we were watching it together... thanks for sharing it.
Going to be starting a sonography school very soon! Thank you for the video. I can appreciate any helpful information you put out!
So amazing to see how knowledgeable and passionate you are about your field!!
💗💗💗
The job seems really chill and this is what i exactly want to become in my future
I binged watched Bridgerton 🤦🏻♀️ such an interesting video - thanks for sharing xxx. Love your videos - you are soo sweet xx
I’m in my first year of college majoring in general Sonography and this makes me so excited please share and post more videos ❤️
how are you liking it so far?
update?
hi, I'm 13 years old and going for an ultrasound in a couple of days - I'm very nervous, but you made me feel so much better!! i really hope I'm not seriously unwell or going to die or anything, but you did help me understand what's going to happen. we need more people & nurses & doctors like you, thank you for being so incredible, be very proud of yourself and take care :)
Omg I’m so glad!! Hope all goes well for you thank you so much for watching💗💗
Hey :) I hope ur okay and everything went well! What happened? ( you don’t have to share of its personal 🥰)
@@marahsnoubar hi! thank you for the lovely message :) i was suffering from side pains (they've gone away now) and general stomach pain which i still suffer with. don't worry, it's not bad pain or anything, it's more of an acidic burning feeling when i get anxious. it comes and goes throughout the day, but i don't think it's life threatening haha! i didn't actually end up having the ultrasound, the doctors think it's more to do with my anxiety than anything!
@@Natalie-cg7cp I’ve been having the same issue with the stomach and side pain. To me it feels like a slight and quick sting that also comes and goes throughout the day only difference is I’m not pregnant and I think this may be happening bc of my anxiety also but I wasn’t sure but now that I’ve read your comment I’m more positive that it could be due to my anxiety. Thank you for sharing your comment bc it helped me and made me feel better cuz I was a little worried about it.
Keep these interest up 🙏🏽❤️
this is such a good video! I want to be an ultrasound tech and this gave me lot of good info about what it like. Also your house is gorgeous!!!! thankyou for making this. (:
So glad it was helpful!! Thank you for watching 🥰🥰
How special and sweet scanning your niece 🙏💜
I’m a new student and I’m so glad I found your video! I loved it!
when you study to become a ultra sound technician is it hard? I just figured out this job but I don’t want to stay up at night to study
@@zuchinibeanie3094 u will stay up at night to study just being honest
Omg I love wearing earrings too! 😍😍😍😍😍 Congratulations 🎉 on your success and skill. You are excellent ❤❤💗💯
just binge watching your content. Love it mashallah. Bridgerton is soo good! Such a rewarding job mashallah. Great content Marah :D
Thank you so much!! And yes omg it was amazing can’t wait for season 2!
@@marahsnoubar same here! Omg. I cried so much at the end. Haha
Ahhh I love that you take us to work with you!!! We don’t have call in my hospital, but I remember these days lol. You’re lucky that your hospital is so close by! Awesome video 💘
Thanks so much for watching fellow Sonographer! 🥰💗
@@marahsnoubar of course hun! Thank you so much for all that you do! I’ve been loving your vlogs 🥰❤️
Back in 2008 when I was 20 years old,I had my first ultrasound,and there was a young lady who did the ultrasound and I really liked how she worked and how she worked with the machine so I asked her,how many years you study to do this job,and she told me 8 years.
My dreams of studying that came on the floor because I thought it was a lot years,now I just found here where I live in Houston,this career is 2 years,I should have studied that,was a beautiful career.
It's never too late to go back to school and study and make your dreams come true. If you still want to do that career, please do it! I'm the age as you and I'm gonna sign up for my local college. Good luck in whatever you do 😇
@@JamericanGir yayy!!! Jessi! That makes me so happy.
thats awful that she said 8 years omgg in what worldsd
Who’s here because of tiktok 😃
Guilty 😬😂
Not me
Mashallah Marah keep the hard work up girl.
Your doing amazing!!! 💜💜💜
Thank you 💗💗💗
@@marahsnoubar Your welcome!!! 💖💖💖
This was a super helpful video thanks for the insight!
Love watching your videos 💕
Loved the video Marah ♥️
I’m going to school for this and I’m quite nervous thank you for your help🤍
what school do you have to do for this?
@@callie4613 almost everywhere requires an associates degree. It’s about 3 years in total if you count the prerequisites before the actual program.
@@thiccynicky6827 thank you
I’m a new subscriber, love your channel! Could you do a video about how you got accepted into a program? I’m currently looking into programs competition is tough but I’m trying to get started on my RDMS journey.
loved it xx
Thank you so much😊such an informative video👌
I’m currently a dental assisting and interested in pursuing sonography. Thank you for this video!
Me too!!!!!l can't wait to leave the dental field🤦♀️..
Same. I got my dental assisting certification and couldn’t find a job after 1.5 years because no one would hire without employment experience. Now it’s been 5 years after having a child and I want to get into sonography. But I’m 29 😭 I feel so old. Dental was useless
@@slipperysnake9410 That's wild. I feel like DA is always in high demand because there's a shortage, so much so that many offices do on the job training for licensure (no school). That's what I did and I'm glad, because turns out I hate DA lol I never went back. I'm 30 and taking prereqs for Sonography! I won't be able to apply for the program for another 2 years unfortunately since 2025 is already full. You're not too old to start over with a new career - this is your future! If you have a goal, put in the effort, do your research, and take the extra measures to reach them :)
Thought you went for your first ultrasound. I got so happy 😘😘
Haha not yet 😉
Such a great video, thank you for sharing this!
ooh such an interesting video!!
could you do a video about your gpa and prereqs?
wow!!! I'm a second year student as a rad tech in the philippines
Very nice vlog, thanks for sharing 🥰
your home is wonderful. Please do more sonography videos. Did you take HESI Entrance exam? Did you use any of the Penny textbooks to prepare for your boards?
Will you be uploading hospital vids ? Cause I’d be interested to watch more. If you aren’t in a hospital job, what should you get into another job or another hospital themed type job?
This was really informative!! I'm currently deciding between surgical tech and radiologic programs. I see you're pregnant now CONGRATS 🥰💛 I can't help but wonder if you'll do your own ultrasounds lol or at least direct them 😊
I'm currently thinking about surgical tech vs a sonography tech too! I applied for a surgical technology program but now I'm worried that I might like diagnosist sonography more. We shall see, lol! Did you decide yet?
@@kaykay5041 I know! The decision is really tough and I seem to keep doubting myself lol. I did decide on surg tech - I start classes in January! Super excited and nervous.
@@Ashley-og9ti That's great! Good luck! If I get in I'll start my surg tech program in January too lol. I think I'm just a bad second guesser haha. I'm telling myself Surgical technology grabbed me for a reason haha. I'm proud of you!
@@kaykay5041 Aww thank you and you WILL get in! Come back here and tell me when you do! I feel the same always wondering what if lol either way only going up from here 🙏🏾❣
@@Ashley-og9ti Absolutely! And make sure you come back and let me know how starting the classes goes. 💙💙
Hey girlie, great video!! Very informative! Can you also explain to me what tools you used for the USA exam to test into the field prior to being accepted? There's no study material I've completed my pre requirements and that's the last step to be admitted here in Indiana.
Have you taken the exam yet? Mine is scheduled for the 18th this month and that’s my last step too but I have no idea what to study
what is the hardest part of your job/ the journey to get that job like school?
I want to be a nurse and I have been working super hard on my people skills and now I’m extremely great at it 🤗 I’m happy I did the necessary work to advance myself ❤️
If your on-call do you get paid for the time you're not there?
Awesome video, thank you
First!!❤️
When you are on call, about how many times per day do you have to return to work usually? I know you said you live close, but some days would it make sense to stay at the ER, or is that not allowed due to Covid-19 reasons?
In college for this! Will be making videos soon🥲👏🏼
was the studying hard like was it really stressful? 😳
@@zuchinibeanie3094 I’m at Concorde for RDMS, and honestly it’s not hard hard, but having study time is difficult if you have a job and kids. If you do this just remember that study time is critical and you will be fine🤗
Love this video !thanks so much for sharing I graduate my ultrasound program in July ! Your and inspo ! 🥰 would you please tell me Where your head band is from !!? 🤩 it’s so pretty !
Congratulations!! And thank you so much🥰 I got it from Target!
@@marahsnoubar thank you so much 😍😍!!!
Loved your video! ❤️ I am currently taking my last prerequisite so I can apply for the sonography program! I have a quick question did you obtain a associates degree in sonography or a bachelors? I’m not sure which to apply to?
Me too^^!
You will graduate with your Associates in Diagnostic Medical Sonography once you finish the program!
I was wondering the same thing and they told me the only benefit of getting my bachelors was having the option to teach and I decided it wasn't worth it
@@marahsnoubar I completed an associates years ago. I’m interested in sonography. Do you know if I can go straight to taking program courses ?
I've considered sonography (specifically for cardio) and I've considered dental hygiene, becoming a math teacher or wanting to go to school specifically to become a DJ and do more in music but idk I'm 27 and want an actual career
Hi, do you have to stand the entire shift… I really need to know before pursuing. Due to a injury years ago I can stand 50 to 60% of the time just not 100%
If you’re comfortable, around how much do you make annually? And do you get paid those on call days? Ik other positions get paid a reduced rate while on call. I have a neighbor that makes 10 an hr while home on call?
Hey Marah. I really like your white tv stand. Could you tell me where it’s from? Thanks!
Do you make the same money or better on call at the ER as opposed to work shifts at the hospital?
Question, do you get paid for the day even while at home on call or only when you’re on site working?
Salam dear Marah! Thank you so much for this educating video ❤️ I have a question, here in Germany, there Is no extra degree for sonographers, you learn these things after medschool in passing. So basically you just learn it when right in the room by another doctor. So to me it’s very surprising that you learn this by getting a degree. Could you tell me, how long that degree takes and do you only do ultrasounds on pregnant woman or also heart- ultrasounds/ stomach ones? Thank you !
In the US it can take as little as two years after high school. Ultrasounds are done on all major organ systems though you may need additional training. You can study in neuro, cardio, vascular, etc.
Do you make good money in this field? I’m stuck between this and becoming a CT Tech
So do you get paid only when at the facility versus being at a hospital all day. How do they structure shifts and days off your work? Thanks for any insight here! What degree do you have was it from an accredited school and how did you get your job?
Yeah, I was wondering this too. For example for your 12 hour shifts even if you’re not at the hospital do you still get paid when you’re on call?
@@parisakamyabi1276 you get paid like 3 dollars an hour while your at home and then time and a half once u get to work
This is what I’m going to college for 💗
Are you gonna go to a four year to get your pre requisites?
❤️❤️Hello, I have a question
When doing the ultrasound and ur taking all the measurements you need, does the machine do it for u or do u have to do it all in ur head or does the machine do some and u do some (if that makes sense) ?
You have to know what to measure and you measure everything yourself, but the machine adds up all the calculations and things like that!
Do you get paid for being on call for the whole shift or only if/when you get called in?
Did you go to DMS school in Texas? Love this video! 💕
Yes I did! And thank you🥰🥰
I’m thinking of becoming a DMS but I’ve heard it’s so hard to find a job after 🥺 so that scares me
Hello Marah! I am interested in becoming an Ultrasound Technician, I was aiming to become an OB Sonographer but some people have said it wasn’t what they thought it would be. Is it possible for Sonographers to specialize in multiple areas like OBGYN, Abdominal, and Pediatric Cardiac
Your Job is very interesting, but made me very curious. In germany we dont have that profession. Doctors themselves do ultrasounds and i dont get the point why there must be an extra Person for the ultrasound, is there a specific reason? (:
do you actually use math during your job? like the math they teach in highschool or math in general?
do you get paid like from 6:30 to 6:30 pm even though you might not have that many calls that day or do you only get paid for the amount of hours you were at the ER that day?
I would like to know this too :)
ditto
Is it hard to find entry job after graduate?
I'm so sorry if this is weird but where do you live and how long do you learn where you live?
THIS IS MY DREAM JOB 🥰
and they pay you even when you are at home? or do they pay you only the hours that you are going to work?
Marah I love your shoe rack out the house no shoes in the house👌
Hi! Are you sure if I will have to dissect any animals/cadavers in college to become a sonographer?
Hey! Could you please help me out! I did all the pre reqs and experience for an ultrasound program but now im debating it. Mainly because i dont want to work more than 10-15 hours a week (2-3 days). Would i be able to find a job that allows that???
Can you make a video on how on call works . I am an ultrasound tech too but full time
Your are so pretty 😍
I have to take physics as my last pre req. Did you think it was a tough course?
So very interesting 👌
Where do you go to school if you don't mind sharing? I am very interested in going to sonography school. My state doesn't offer a program so I would have to move.
im gonna go in the military so i dont have to lay for college and i can earn alot more based on my skills and i already loved anatomy class and the hands on part of it and writing down what i saw on the body and any differences in them
❤️
Where did you go for schooling. I’m looking into it now.
Was it easy to get in an ultrasound tech school and what were the requirements to get in?
Look at your community colleges curriculum sheet for sonography
Hi! I was thinking about doing a ultrasound program but I havent been in school for 10yrs plus I’m bad at math lol. Should I go for it?
Yessssss. I’m not good at math either but youtube and khan academy really helped me out. My friend who is a nurse has a quote that she lives by and it’s helped me a lot. She says “C’s get DEGREES!!!” Hope this helped🤗🤗
I want to be a ultra sound tech so bad but schools are so expensive does anyone know smaller steps to becoming one
I plan on entering a trade to become an ultrasound technician after obtaining my B.S. in Health Science. I’d like to hear some advice from people
On call do you still get paid as you would on a set schedule?
Thank you for the information! I’m going for a major in medical imaging in college right now so that I could get a career as an ultrasound technician. Do you have any helpful advice???
Are you at a community college or university?
Hi I have a question if you’re on call are you only paid for the patients you see or for the time you’re in call?
Sorry if its personal but im from England so just curious: does your current job pay the same/less/more than one in hospital?
It all depends on where you live and a lot of other different factors! Hospitals + ER’s typically tend to pay more vs clinics.
Do you only do on-call? Do you get a certain pay being on-call and get a different pay when you punch in? I am considering this field and wondering if the pay would be enough to live comfortably.
What do you think the percentile of the foetus and what would it means if it’s 90th or 10th?
I’m starting back to school Spring 2022-my problem is I’m almost 40. When it does come time to apply-most of these jobs are asking for 1-3 years experience...How would I get experience? Would clinicals that are done while in school count?
I know some colleges off an internship.
i have a question i really want to be some type of nurse when i get older but i’m kind of rethinking it cuz bloody stuff kind of makes me uncomfortable so i was wondering if this medical field would be best and if u every really see any bloody things! thanks :)
I am the same way! I don’t like blood. One of the reasons I definitely knew nursing wasn’t for me. You definitely won’t be dealing with a lot of blood in ultrasound!! Especially if you work at an outpatient clinic :) 💗
@@marahsnoubar do you ever see vomit? That’s what bothers me! I can do blood, but I can not do vomit 😖
Do you get paid more doing er/on call? Compared to hospital reg schedule
When you become a diagnostic medical sonographer is there a field you have to specialize in?
Associates of applied science I think !
You will graduate with your Associates in Diagnostic Medical Sonography. It all depends on what registries you take and where you want to work! I am specialized in multiple things because I like to do a little bit of each thing!
Hi! Do you get paid for an entire 12hr shift when you're on call or only for the time you go in during the shift?
That’s what I was wondering
i read that a regular shift is 8 hours and then they can get paid overtime (i googled it real quick so idk)
Ooo
depends on the place. some places pay you hourly while on call and some places only pay you per call. it’s more common to get paid hourly the whole time you’re on call though!
Do you have to go to college to get a bachelors degree first before going to a sonography program? As a high school junior what is the path you should take?
No you don’t. I would try to take some dual credit classes offered at your high school that go toward the pre-requisites required for the ultrasound program to get some out of the way!
@@marahsnoubar what HIGHSCHOOL classes should I take?
@@momay2670 that’s not what she said. She said dual enrolled classes. Take BIO168&169 (if that isn’t offered at your community college take 163), take conceptual physics, eng 111, and and math 121 or 171 preferably. You can look into any curriculum sheet on a community colleges website and the programs I’ve seen most have 4 prerequisite classes. It’s not a bachelor degree and it’s an associates. If you are not able to do dual enrollment I would advise take biology, anatomy and physiology, and health science classes.
I wanna be a sonographer too , but idk what college to go to for it or how many years?
Can you please answer a few questions for me? I want to start my schooling in December
where is ur long sleeve/scrubs from? 🤍
Im thinking of DoingIm it what are your suggestions is it better than being a general ward doctor.
Did you go through an x-Ray program first?
Were you able to work while being in school as well ?
