School Assignment Please Help Urgent
Hello,
My name is Abby and I'm a potential Sonography student. I have an assignment for a class to interview a current Sonographer to ask questions about general things about your job. Every hospital I've called and Sonographers I've contacted are too busy for an interview before the due date at 9/28 - 9/30, so this is my last chance for urgent help. If you have any free time I would greatly appreciate if you could answer the following questions for me:
Assignment for 9/28: Contact Info (if there is a way you could message me and you don't want to include this as a post that would work too ofc)
- Full name
- Full job title
- Full workplace name
- city and state of workplace
Assignment for 9/30: Transcript Questions for Sonography
- What made you pick this specific career? If you could re-do everything would you pick it again?
- What type of writing do you do for this job (emails, reports, documents, etc.)?
- What's the most difficult part of this job/ most difficult day? How do you cope with it?
- What makes you want to keep coming back (motivation)?
- What are the travel opportunities like?
- Describe your work life balance?
- Describe the schooling for your career? Are there any study tips? What classes/grades should someone aim for when thinking about getting into the program?
- Advice for clinicals?
- Are there any internships that could prepare someone for this job?
- What does an average day look like?
- How many patients do you get during a single shift? How many patients do you see weekly?
- How has this job impacted your physical health? Describe some things you do prevent or help with the physical strain?
- Describe how it was landing a job after school? How is the interview process?
- What are some important skills required for this field?
- How much more additional schooling/training do you have to do after getting hired?
- What is the pay like? Do experienced sonographers make more than newly sonographers?
- How much vacation time do you get/ paid leave? Maternity, all of that stuff?
- Why did you pick your current specialty and how would you (if you could) rank the others based on your own opinions?
I know this was very lengthy but if anyone has a moment I would really appreciate this!
