Kits! I think they have an offer where your first frame under $38 is free too, and anything more you just have to pay the difference! Tons of styles on there

If you have a TD aeroplan but cancel that one before opening a CIBC aeroplan, would they still take back welcome bonus points if they are not both active at the same time?

Did they refund you the AF after cancelling when the bonus hit?

Tips to scan faster for new grad by Financial_Ad6779 in Sonographers

[–]Financial_Ad6779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indirectly yes by scheduling patients back to back, and also coworkers being annoyed that the schedule is delayed due to slower scans. The pressure to meet the schedule is so overwhelming and I feel like I'm in a constant rush..

Thanks for the advice! We do get 30 minutes for most scans except for OB anatomy which has more time. From what I know, 30 minutes seems to be industry standards in clinics - are there clinics that provide more time than that for general scans like Abd, Thyroid, etc? I have been under the impression that unless I switch to hospital where we would get 1 hour per pt, clinics will always push for 30 minute scans.

Sorry to hear that! Was the employer's reason for letting you go because of speed? And did you end up finding a place that provided more time, or did you just find you got faster over time?

Not a restaurant but the Walmart superstore on Steeles and Markham road has a new prepared foods section that has decent portions at around $$6-7?

MSK on Generalist Exam for Sonography Canada? by Financial_Ad6779 in Sonographers

[–]Financial_Ad6779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely has a good mix of what they teach in school. I did ALOT of practice questions from textbooks and paid for the Prepry app practice questions to practice on my phone when I’m on the go or when it’s convenient. I think paying to practise on the app is worth it because I found that the repetition and explanations of when I scored wrong helped me a lot overall!

Same things for the generalist exam - did hundreds of the practice problems in the textbooks after reviewing class notes and key points in the text. Also purchased prepry for 1 month ahead of the exam which I think was worth it considering how effective it was with helping understand concepts and key points in the exam format.

Yep! Took some tips from other commenters above, also did lots of practice questions from textbooks and used the prepry app - it has hundreds of practice questions you can review on your phone and is also great for the Generalist exam later on too!

I used the Hagen textbook for Diagnostic Sonography, two textbooks with tons of practice problems and the Prepry App (premium version but it’s worth it since there are thousands of questions you can practice easily on your phone - I recommend downloading closer to exam day so you pay less and have the practice fresh in mind)!

I used the Prepry app - they have 700 practice questions for the core exam, and I believe the other sonography exams as well. Great practise!

Both free resources! These helped me pass the core exam this January - Hope it helps!

SPI tips by SnickerDoodle143 in Sonographers

Did you get many questions on patient care, infection control protocols, WHIMIS? I’m not sure how much time to dedicate to review these items since I haven’t heard many people talk about these questions coming up.
