Ultrasound Technician / Radiologist Technician?

I started to pursue the health field in High School where I took Vocational Classes for Medical, Dental and Nursing. At the end of the first quarter, we were to select the one we wanted to stay in. I started in Medical and transferred to Health. Graduated and became a CNA. I had since then moved out of that career path and took a office job that paid more money at the time and have been in administrative work ever since.

My real passion is to work in the health field again. My interests are Ultrasound tech or Radiology Tech. I didnt pay close attention to the classes required in school needed for if I were to go to college (which I didnt). I only took academic biology in school and dont remember what my grade was.

I am looking for a local college to find out the details on taking courses required prior to the actual UT or RT classes. I have no idea where to start or what all I would need to do prior.

I read online info from a local community college that said I would have to take a biology and chem or allied health, etc.

Any info would be VERY helpful on which path I need to go and who is or has worked in this field. THANKS
I knew at one time all the medical terminology and still have my health and medical books from school. However, I know I have a lot more to learn. I am a mom of 2 and work full time. I plan on obtaining my degree for this over the course of a couple years to make it work.
I only took Academic Biology in High School, I did not take Chemistry.

How do I take those courses at a college prior?

What should I do about my mom?

For the past year and a half, my mom has been… drifting away. Lately she has been taking out her anger on me. It seems as though I am the problem for everthing. She just complains to me about how much she hates her job(she owns a business, stressfull I know), how I need to help out more. I have asked her what I can do to help, but she says oh nothing everything is in ship shape.

Yesterday we went to the mall, and I asked her if I could get a pair of jeans. She said sure. At the cash register, she said, well don’t just stand there pay for it! At that point, I was dumbfounded. She was making me pay for my own clothing. I know later in life I am going to have to, but I’m 11. I am too young to get a job. The only money I get is from reading. (<– a penny a page. it adds up). She doesn’t want to work out a plan for an allowance. She blew up at me in the car yesterday telling me, "well duh your supposed to pay for your own stuff! I know you have money!". I have dollars. I am saving up so I can order vans. Then she started telling me how people kids don’t earn money just to have it, they get it because they want something. Of course, I know that. I want vans, and she won’t buy them. I can get them online for . She says why not just go to the actual store and get them? I say because that would be wasting away that could be use for something better.

She also told me that she has gone to 3 counselers because of me. She was telling me she didn’t know what to do. Should she put me into counseling? Should she go back into therapy?(Yes, she had been in therapy before. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Ten times worse then PMS.) Then she told me that the most likely thing was to send me off to boarding school. I burst into tears. Boarding School? Not just would that make it worse, it would affect both her and I for the rest of my life. We wouldn’t get to see eachother, we would drift apart, she wouldn’t know at all what I was doing. I would be away from my friends. And my best friend. Boarding School just doesn’t seem the way to go.

So what should I do? I have tried to talk to her, but she never listens. She won’t admit to that though. I don’t know what to do anymore! I hate her more than I love her. She lives in the same house, so I have to deal with these problems. I have thought about suicide, I don’t have the guts to do it though. Is it me, or her? I just don’t know anymore. I’m confused, lost.

Husband set up account on local sex hookup site?

He’s been acting odd, closing windows on computer when I come into the room, deleting the history. Does he think I’m stupid and don’t notice the changes in his behavior? There have been several other occasions where I have caught him joining these sites. So I checked up on him and he has just paid for a membership for a local sex site. On his profile he stated that he is separated and looking for sexual relations or group sex. We’ve been having other problems and among the things we talked about he told me he wasn’t happy with our sex life. I’ve made an effort to improve my efforts in and out of the bedroom and even done things I’m not comfortable with to please him. We’ve been married for 9 years and have 5 young kids, so it’s not like I want to just walk away. But I’ve asked him to go to counseling. He didn’t give me a straight answer. He said he would go through a marriage course online with me. When I asked him if we could purchase it now, he told me that it wasn’t the best idea to spend money on THAT right now. So he says he’s willing to work on it, but seems to be giving a different message. I left him once before for different reasons and while we were separated I had a brief fling with someone. I know I screwed up, but does that mean its okay for him to be pursuing this online thing?

I want to go to a 2 year college in Michigan (where I live) but I have no idea where to start. I’m not even sure what to take. I like fashion, small business management, marketing, interior design, and child development. So where should I apply and what should I take? I don’t want to waste time or money, by just going without knowing what I’m going to major in. Thanks in advance. :)

I’ve been looking for a while, every time I think I find one it ends up costing money in the end, either buying books, paying just to register or something or another. I just want to learn a few subjects so I can have a jump start for my next school year.

Courses I’m looking for:
Geometry
Algebra 2
Trigonometry
Biology
Chemistry
Physics

Any help at all will be greatly Appreciated. Even if you can provide help with just one subject would help a lot.
I tried it, 5 a course per semester?
Only free if your a Florida resident, Which I am not. Thanks anyway though…

My Biology teacher mentioned that her first impression of me was that I would grow up to be a doctor someday. I really took it to my mind and I checked it out online(like what kind of schooling I would have to go through). I absolutely love the idea of becoming a doctor one day! Although I don’t know how I would handle it, with people dying and being deathly ill. I am 15 and in my Freshman year in High School. I would love any advice on which courses I should take next year. I want to keep my options open. I definately don’t care about the money that I will earn. I would just like to help people and cure them so they can live a natural healthy life like you and me! So any suggestions on what medical/doctor field I should go into, and why, would be great! Also along with the schooling years, and where I should attend college, and anything else you can think of! Please and Thank you!

P.S. – I know that it’s a bit early to be thinking about this but I am very mature and professional for my age. And I like to keep my options open(I’m not your average teenager). I like to plan things out, rather than taking things as they come. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Very respectfully,

Melissa

Resently I have gone to college to better my education in the computer industry. Though i am having issues trying to find money to pay for it. While loans are good Grants are better. Anyone know of any good grant programs out there, and how do I get to them?

Ok..not speaking of all of these non-accredited, non-legit online, money motivated online ’schools’. I’m speaking of an online course taken through your home school of which you also take the same course at the actual school.

I attend the local university..but they now offer online courses at home through the website..also ‘hybrid’ courses. I’m somewhat interested, but I wanna know if anyone has taken this route…and if it’s a good option to take. Will I still be ‘learning’ the same things that I would be while in the classroom. I just need firsthand experience……

? I am 15 years old and want to start my own online business to make money for college. I would like to use the drop shipping method and have the items go through my own website and not Ebay. Is this possible for someone my age? My parents would support me and I would use their credit card, which I am already using for my Pay Pal account. But I need to know if this is legal. If not can I still sell through Ebay?

Thanks!

Alot of places say they are, but I don’t know if I can trust them. I recently decided to quit the nursing program I am in and go for a vetenarian technician but I need a job to save money first. So I thought I could take some online courses and fill in the space. I’ve already checked all the school in my area and they do not offer any veternarian courses. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am a landscape company owner, I am 19 years old. I have not even started on my college education yet, I planned to take (2) years off after high school until I start. I plan on taking all distant learning classes, probably only 9-12 credit hours per semester as I work about 50 hours a week on average.

Last year I had 5 full time employees – servicing over 100 accounts each week (mowing-which is your bread and butter, consistent–landscaping is your gamble)

Last year was the first time I had employees, the spring of 2008 I was still in high school so unfortunately yes I had to earn respect of some of my employees, some were 23 last year in college and they have a senior in high school telling them what to do, but I quickly overcame that when they realized I was not here to play around. The first impression I give anyone they believe I am in my mid-twenties… quite mature for my age.

Last year, I did have A LOT of low paying accounts, mainly from when I first started the business–all under the table and at 16 years old /hr is great money with no living expenses, as you get older and purchase a home and have real bills and your business is now an actual professional company, you can’t charge that half price like before. Therefore this year, I booted out 90% of all low/crappy accounts, booted out all employees and decided this year to take two steps backwards and start over with expansion but with the good accounts as when you have employees you see no income coming in from those low accounts because they take the whole service charge up in payroll and I just saw my time and effort being uncompensated.

I wanted to take this year with work and have trial and error, get a set system, study the year and changes I can make for when I have employees, the hardest thing to do as a new business is be experiencing severe trial and error on policies and trying to enforce them on employees you have let do the opposite. So I did not advertisement this year, no expansion planning just wanted to work, not try and be greedy by doing this but I need to keep my personal self out of debt so kind of take in the profits and build a good personal and business cushion financially.

Here’s the thing… next fall or maybe start early this spring, I plan on starting my college classes. with even 6-12 credit hours/semester I plan 2-4 hours a night of study time. I have a very professional business knowledge in my field, I have studied better professional practices of marketing clients, and I believe I can really get this thing going in a professional manner. As a (1) man crew right now, I now have the equipment and assets that can operate a 3-4 man crew easily, and I am paying those expenses off just me right now and I am still getting a check, so the more accounts I add, a couple more employees it will be more profit, as right now I have about a 35%-50% expense rate because I am paying for enough equipment to operate more men.

What I am really getting at here is right now with no expansion doing the work myself I am flexible, I can change my schedule really about anytime and everything still gets done to accomodate if I have something personally I have to do, run dog to groomers, weekday haircut etc. when you have employees you basically work the same operating hours as them, you have to be at work at 7, as being solo you have a 10 hour day, say 7-5 and I feel like sleeping in an extra hour so I work 9-7.

Ultimately I want advice on – - a) expand company take just 1 or 2 college classes online so I am getting some of it done even in grandpa turtle steps and expand the company

OR

B) Do not look for expansion with the company at this time, take on a little more school to have it done so when I am actually in my early to mid twenties I will have my bachelors and don’t have to worry about it anymore..

College Courses that I can take online?

Hi everyone!

I just graduated this past May, and now I’m looking into some online courses. The only problem is, I have no idea what field to go into.

What field is going great right now, other than Medical, that wouldn’t take me very long to do.

I don’t have a lot of money, and honestly, I don’t want to do something that will take years upon years to get. I just want to do something simple, so where I can just have a little something to look forward to, and get money so where I can get out on my own.

I am interested in the following:

-Writing
-Photography
-Interior Design
-Administrative Office (I took a year one course on this)
-Psychology
-Counseling

Or if there is anything else that is going well, please let me know.
Thanks!

I took 3 online courses this semester that had nothing to do with the college i am attending now and before i took the online courses the college specifically stated to check with the college you intend to transfer the credits to make sure they will transfers. So I met with Bill the person in charge of transferring credits. He assured that the school was OK to take the courses. He looked at the colleges website and he also looked in the college accreditation book to make sure the college was accredited he told me he found in the book n that i was ok and he also compared the courses description with my colleges description ( mind You i met with him 3 different occasions because i have 3 different courses just to make sure and every time he said i was OK ) ……..now it time to graduate and come to find out he looked at the wrong college in the College Accreditation Book and my credits will not transfer because the school is not accredited …………..What Legal Action Can Take? ……………………… altogether i spent ,754.64. ……………..So Shouldn’t i be compensated MORE money for my time, my hard work, my pain n suffering and not being able to transfer to another college to start the nursing program because of his misguidance and his mistake ?
( this pushes me a year back in school) Or is there anyway they can transfer these credits?
PLEASE HELP ………………….Thanks for your answers in advance. Sorry So Long ~Nikki~

Ok, I want to go to medical school, but my parents suggest I get all my basics out of the way at community college to save money. I said ok thats a good plan. But then I went online and found the courses that apply to a pre-health program at a university, and went on my CC website to compare. The course numbers dont match, is this ok? I need general biology and both are offered at both schools, but the course numbers are different. At the university, the course is BIO 187 but at the CC its BIO 150. Both say its general biology, but are they different? Crap I think I screwed myself!

I’m interested in starting back to school in the next six months. I’ll likely be transitioning to a work-at-home situation with my current employer soon, and I’d like to multi-task with some online courses(light load to start, of course). I’m very good at that, and frankly I’ve tackled MUCH more intensive jobs than the one I’m doing now with great ease, so I’m not concerned about focus, etc.

I’m interested in associates degrees in two fields:

-Programming: C++, some 3D design work, and (if possible) an emphasis on physics-based programming(I would love to program the way that objects interact with eachother in games, etc)

-or-(And yes, these are very different)

-SOMETHING that would be a step towards professional counseling, I would be interested in specializing in helping couples who live ‘alternative’ lifestyles, as I have a lot of friends who have made these choices in their lives, and I’ve been personally affected by some myself. A lot of them come to me for help and advice with these relationships, and I think it might be rewarding to try and help people with these things for a living.

I’ll need to do all (or a very strong MOST) of this from home during the day. I don’t mind if I occasionally have to go somewhere to take a test, etc; but it needs to be VERY infrequent, so that I can continue a full time job.

I’m not interested in University of Phoenix, ITT Tech, or any other trade schools. I’m interested in real, accredited colleges, that won’t kill me on costs(I’m not made of money, and I’ve got rent, car payments, insurance, etc to take care of at the same time.)

Can someone suggest good paths to take for either of these degrees online? Again, no trade schools please!

I don’t know what to do about college anymore.?

Yesterday was the date of open registration of the college I was going to attend. I had to take a placement exam that day and I had been preparing for it since the first time I took it earlier this year I did absolutely terrible on the math section. With about a month of study I went from my original placement of Pre-Algebra to Calculus and I got to enroll in the course.

Unfortunately, for some reason when I came home to register online, it says my Pre-Req or scores are not valid or something for the courses I was going to take. I have called and called yesterday and this first phone call this morning I ended up getting hung up on. That makes me getting hung up on for the 12th time since yesterday when all I was looking was for help. I even e-mailed. So now I’m only stuck with one math course for this whole semester when I was suppose to be loaded with Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and now all of those courses have no seats left.

I’m going to talk to the counselor this Monday because I can’t go any earlier, just too busy really. But I feel like there’s nothing they can do and I don’t have a lot of money. I mean, I’ve got a letter that says all my tuition is paid for any college I’d want to go to in California, but I’m stuck with this one because everything else is so far away and everything. Even the online courses are filled up at my college. I don’t know, I even showed up early to register.

This is the second time this has happened to me. The first time all of the courses were taken up and now even when I was there and showed up at six in the morning, I didn’t get into any except the one. I feel like there’s not much I can do at this point and now I’m just really stuck at home and haven’t heard anything from any applications for jobs I’ve submitted.

I don’t know. I just feel really disappointed. I did extremely good on my test yesterday but at the end of the day I felt like it was all for nothing.
I pre-req challenged the math course to get into Calculus and obviously got in.
I’ve been out of school for almost 1 1/2 years and the last time I took a math course was when I was sixteen. I think I did pretty good for myself to show I’m not stupid in a month for that kind of jump.
I’m doing Pre-Pharmacy…I need Calc 1 and 2.

I was laid off in mid November (the best time of year to have to look for a job) and I’m having a difficult time deciding which route I should take. I’m a young professional with about 4+ years of internet marketing industry experience, in a city where there aren’t a ton of jobs even really related to that.

I’m working on my MBA in the evenings, a decision because of stagnation concerns with the company, so between the money I have from that, the severance I got, and savings, I’m financially secure almost through to the summer, but I’m not comfortable with that.

Every position I see posted online seems to want 5-7 years of experience, in ANY field, which I don’t have. I’ve applied to numerous, and got one interview, which didn’t result in an offer.

I want to work full time again. But in light of my layoff, I upped the amount of classes I’m taking from 2 to 3 nights a week, just because ..

At four courses completed (3 more pending) with a 3.5 GPA, I consider myself too far into my program to just stop and relocate. I want to finish my MBA, maybe I’m wrong.

What should I do as far as my job search is concerned?

Am I too far along in my career to change career fields? I don’t particularly care to, but if the demand for jobs in my area is different, I’m not sure.

Then there’s the whole matter of having to start from the bottom again if I do that. I made a decent salary this year; are employers in other disciplines likely to acknowledge that and pay me a similar salary if I go that route?

Being a college student I don’t have a lot of money, but I would like to try buying some stocks. Which online broker (for example E trade, Scott trade, ING, Ameritrade, Share Builder, Options X Press, etcetera…) would be the best way to go for my low volume trades, considering account fees, trading fees, broker fees, minimum fees, and any other kind of fees or costs that I am not aware of? If you have had bad experiences please share them with me as well. Thank You!

Should I stay by family or go home?

I am an international student in a foreign land pursuing an MBA for a year. I am staying by family although they have only catered for me staying for 6 months. I am very unmotivated by this course and especially being in a foreign place I just cannot get my head wrapped around the course. They just introduced an online module of the course but that will take two years to finish and I will have to pay a little more for that course. Now if I stay, I will have to find additional money to stay and/or freeload off my family for an extra 6 months and work on a low end job like a salesperson but finish the course in 1 yr or if I go back home, I can get a better job but finish the course in two years and forgo the experience of being in a classroom. Also, some people keep saying that being in this foreign land will for a yr will give me a better view of life. What do you think I should do?

I’m considering working again after 4 years of raising two children. I would love to find a job where I can work primarily from home. I have an extensive background in technical writing, online copywriting, biological field research and data analysis. I have also done software development testing. Of course I am a little rusty, but have the utmost confidence in my skills.

Does anyone know of any jobs where I can work flexible hours, from home, so I can stay home with my little girls. My husband provides a comfortable income, so money is not the primary issue here. I have about 10-15 hours of free time a week that I would like to spend in a constructive way rather than watching the tube.

I am not looking for MLMs, rebate processing or any other business ventures like that. Please make recommendations that use the skills I have. Thanks!
