Cardiac Sonography Salaries in Oklahoma - OK

Average cardiac sonographer salaries in Oklahoma run slightly below the national average, although a survey of salaries in the largest Oklahoma cities on Indeed.com reveals that average salaries range from $50,000 in Broken Arrow to $55,000 in Norman, Edmond, Enid, and Stillwater. Norman and Edmond are considered to be a part of the Oklahoma City greater metropolitan area, while Enid and Stillwater are outside the metropolitan areas of both Oklahoma City and Tulsa, which is the second largest city in the state.

Cardiac sonographers can add to their earnings by working overtime or being on-call. These extra hours outside a normal workday typically pay a higher hourly rate. Due to the expected demand for cardiac sonographers in the coming years, employers may offer benefits such as signing bonuses, tuition assistance, and loan forgiveness for students who agree to work at their facility for a minimum number of years.
