You Already Know Where This Is Leading

Essentia Health in Fargo, ND is hiring a Sonographer, and there's a hiring incentive attached to this one. I've been reading job ads long enough to know when something is worth a second look, and this role at their Fargo hospital fits that bill.

This isn't a tiny clinic. It's a 133 bed hospital with a birthing center, a 10 bed NICU, a 24/7 ER, and Level II Trauma and Comprehensive Stroke Center designations. You'd be working out of the 32nd Avenue Building, connected to the clinic there. Evening rotation schedule, 80 hours per pay period, weekends on a rotation. The pay range lands between $37.10 and $55.65 an hour.

What You'll Actually Do

You'll operate diagnostic ultrasound equipment to produce scans for physicians. That means applying your technical knowledge to get clear images and helping providers make accurate diagnoses. It's hands on patient work, every shift.

Registration by ARDMS within 1 year of hire
