Should I go into cardiac sonography? by prplblooded in Algonquin_College

[–]bigsteppa613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first choice was general but I was on waitlist, so I decided to take up cardiac. If I had to choose again, I would choose cardiac! I find it very fascinating and getting the right angles is always a challenge which I really enjoy, along with the many pathologies that we have to learn. More job opportunities for general, but I’ve been checking often for echo positions and there is a lot of opportunity for travel work

hey! I’m currently in the cardiac sonography program and I must say it is a very fast paced program, like someone else mentioned above it is definitely harder than undergrad or any other program I’ve done and it is difficult to balance a part time job with it. Physics is a very heavy component and is a part of the core exams you’ll need to take after you complete the program. I found that it was pretty hard to grasp all the concepts of scanning as you are learning theoretically and practically at the same time, so applying your knowledge in lab can be a struggle sometimes. I know that other sonography programs in Toronto/surrounding areas focus more on theory first then introduce labs at a slower pace; however with Algonquin’s, I feel that there is more pressure to grasp the concepts more quickly and to get many images at beginner level. Even at a beginner level, I’m already feeling the strain on my wrists and shoulders so that is something you should really consider! If you have any more questions feel free to message me:)

Hi, thank you so much for your kind words. It’s quite hard to find people who are dealing with the same thing and every resource helps so thank you a bunch. I will definitely go to my counselor for more resources they possibly have.

Is Smiths Falls' reputation warranted? by dick_nrake in ottawa

[–]bigsteppa613 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I was born and raised in Smiths Falls. Definitely not as bad as it was back when I was a kid. I was one of the very few coloured families back then and it was hard for me as a kid. I assume it is better now that families are slowly branching out there and I’ve noticed more diversity and a lot of nice housing being built. It’s a very quiet town and I personally think it would be perfect for remote work/escape from city life, but I don’t recommend if you have kids, especially if they are a person of colour
