for you, what do you think will be the effect if nurses invade the practice of radiologic technologists?

thank you.

i know that it is not the job of nurses to perform ultrasound. but still there are nurses who are performing it like abdominal ultrasound, pelvic ultrasound, renal ultrasound, gynecological ultrasound and 2D echocardiography. most of nurses are employed in the ultrasound department in many hospitals. i don't know why this happens. Will someone please help me to know why??? It is for my research paper. thank you.

yes, they don't do ultrasound but some of them are. in the philippines, there are a lot of nurses who are performing ultrasound though it is illegal as stated in the Republic Act 7431. and that's what i want to know "the reason why they want to perform ultrasound" though it is the duty of Radiologic Technologists.

I want to know why nurses perform ultrasound? what factors do influences them to perform ultrasound in hospitals and clinics? i also want to know if it is legal for nurses to handle ultrasound procedures and do the scanning? what are the major reason why nurses are the one performing ultrasound examinations?
