I know this is probably not the place but....

I have a friend that is wanting to become a ultrasonographer and she asked me about schools, message boards, etc. like I have with allnurses.com. I told her that I had no idea and to try checking the web. The only thing she has been able to find is Sanford-Brown Institute. She is in the Houston area and I told her I would ask you folks to see if you knew anything about the school/career. When I looked on the internet....I saw Sanford Brown in alot of states. Thanks for any information!

I met with Sanford Brown as a backup to the RN program. Even though I completed A&P I and II (this year), they wanted me to take "their" A&P and the tuition is $30,000 for 18 months. They basically want your money cause they won't "send you information", you have to go in for a physical interview so they can give you the sales pitch and won't tell you the tuition costs until the end of the interview. They will only accept one transfer class as credit to their program and you still have to proctor their class even if your transfering credit. I'm sure it's a good program, I just didn't like their approach. I heard Emory has an ultrasound program too. Although the lady I met with at Sanford Brown said they were the only program in Atlanta. Also may be hospital based programs.
