i'm interested to know anyone doing echocardiography and maybe exchange experiences and knowledge with them...

i have met one in yahoo groups..she's an RN at the same time an RDCS (registered diagnostic cardiac sonographer)..and she's earning more than being a plain nurse...so far..i think i have met 5-8 RN's in that group doing echocardiograms...

Suzanne was trying to help you. Since you already met 5-8 RN's that doing echocardiograms, then why don't you ask them about their knowledge and experiences.

i want to meet some more RN's doing echocardiograms...and since a lot of nurses of different places are in to this forum, i posted this thread...

suzanne is an EXPERIENCED nurse (for 25 years..i think)..hands up to that...but don't expect me to believe all what she's saying...this is a forum and i'm just expressing what i feel...

here in the philippines..echocardiography, stress testing, ECG are all under one department--the NON INVASIVE lab...

"not usually performed by nurses" means exactly just that "not USUALLY performed." 5 to 8 people really don't sum up the RN population in the US. Statistically speaking, it won't even pass as a group representation.

She (Suzanne) was only trying to help.
