echocardiogram

BamaGirlRN · May 25, 2004

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...

not usually performed by nurses??? ..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...
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.
