I hope the following helps you .
Diagnostic medical sonography technicians use ultrasound equipment to help doctors diagnose medical problems and illnesses, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Although there are no colleges that specialize only in diagnostic medical sonography skills, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that diagnostic medical sonographer programs exist throughout the United States at teaching hospitals, technical colleges and four-year universities, offering the programs as part of their larger health professions training. These schools offer certificate and degree programs in diagnostic medical sonography.
Kaiser Permanente’s diagnostic medical sonography program is a specialty training program within KP’s School of Allied Health Sciences. Students complete coursework and lab rotations in 18 months, with classroom and laboratory sessions evenly divided among six quarters. Tuition for the program is $9,000; students can also expect to pay approximately $1,200 for books and lab materials.

George Washington University offers six certificate programs and a bachelor’s degree program in diagnostic medical sonography.

Austin Community College offers a certificate program in vascular sonography, as well as associate degree programs in general diagnostic medical sonography and echocardiography. The vascular certificate program is a one-semester program that features three classes and a clinical rotation. Associate degree programs require five semesters to complete and include classroom sessions, laboratory work and clinical rotations.

Robert asks…
Do online colleges accept credits from trade schools?
im trying to make a plan so when im ready its all set =).. btw whats a good college to go from a RN to BSN anyways?

OnlineTrader answers:
In the first place , nursing requires hands on training, so NO , you should not try this online.
Issue number two; Trade school credits (vocational) are not the same as college credits and thus do not count as true college. If you want a BSN in nursing, then that will require college credits-NOT vocational school.
Your best option would be to visit a public community college to sit down with an adviser there. Explain that you want to pursue the nursing profession and get a BSN. The public community college will be a good start towards that. Avoid any for-profit schools or any online-only schools many are outright scams. See RipOffReport.com for reviews of schools to avoid.
The “graduate” of an online program may have cheated by hiring an impostor to take the courses. As a result,ANY online degree is considered questionable-even if from a legit college. No online program can be as good as the learning experience and personal interaction of actual classroom attendance. There is a growing trend for well respected colleges to code their degrees and transcripts to indicate whether the study was online, blended, or actual classroom based. Go to college by actual attendance if you value your future career. Good luck!
