A Glorified Dishwasher Indeed..As a Dishwasher for so many years and I still am now..I can't believe that allowed myself to scurry from this Career/Program..I'm 45 years old now.. I think I'm gonna take the plunge for SPT in January.
@@johvannidesouza454 thank you! Here in the Bay Area depending on where, and what hospital you work at it can range anywhere between $33-$36 an hour starting pay. Hope this helps
Heyyy did u go to svsti for the Sterile Tech in Milpitas program a few years ago? I tried it but I am doing the sterile processing program first now… like your videos very informative!!! Thank you!!!
What about your third basin? You didn’t even fill it up with the reverse osmosis water to show the critical step. This video was actually ridiculous again sorry not sorry.
What did you even decontaminate? You only showed pulling the surgical instruments out of the rigid containers. That’s all you did! your title does not match the video.
Sorry, not sorry that video was pathetic. You did not even show anything as you should have. You spent a lot of time showing up bunch of random things that didn’t even seem video worthy.
You mean in terms of instruments sets? Nothing much honestly, I would have to say probably just the instrument sets themselves. According to OSHA instruments sets are to be no heavier than 25 pounds. Of course it varies from place to place
Sterile processing is more than just a dish washer job. It involves the decontamination, sterilization, and maintenance of medical instruments and equipment used in healthcare settings. Sterile processing technicians play a critical role in ensuring that medical instruments are safe and ready for patient use. It requires specific knowledge of sterilization techniques, infection control, and proper handling of medical equipment. So it's a crucial and specialized role in healthcare that goes beyond just washing dishes 😊
Usually in scenarios like this they will look if they have that specific instrument in a peel pack. If for whatever reason they still can’t find it then they will open another set of the SAME set and use THAT instrument. Hope this helps
please do not cover any information with the sticker ,date ,time etc., place on top of cycle print to be performed to show bowie, prevac, gravity , therefore when scan in the system it will show for further inspection .
I wish my co-workers listened to rap but sadly @ my sps its either 80's rock or country mainly being played 😌 They'de probally sh♡t if I turned my playlist on
is it possible to work 4 10's with this job? I know that surgeons work a lot of those jobs- I wonder if you're able to get those type of shifts or if they are somewhat common or not.
With this job? Yes absolutely! My coworker currently works 4 10’s and he says he loves his shift. Majority of hospitals are definitely capable of “creating” a shift for you as long as it is consistent and manageable by the department’s needs. Especially if the hospital is 24 hours.
@@2thang2 another question if you dont mind me asking I always read on reddit about how horrible the drama can be in those jobs... is it really as bad as everyone says? or is it just people venting and bitching on reddit all the time. I get drama at work isn't possible to fully avoid (I've worked a lot of food service)
@@vaporhazy I would say that drama in sterile processing (or any job) is inevitable. It depends on your coworkers and how you handle the drama yourself. For me personally I like to be cool with everyone and treat everyone the same, meaning no favoritism or only talking to certain people. I talk to everyone, and I think it’s safe to say that my coworkers like me. We hangout outside from work, our kids play together and when we’re at work we joke around and help each other. So I don’t deal with any drama (at least for now lol) but yeah I would say if you do decide to come into sterile processing you should come out as friendly and you should be good. I’ve worked at 4 different hospitals and I always kept my same character and still no drama so I think it also depends on yourself as well. I hope this information is useful
You seem alone where you are working. Is it typically like this? I imagine the new techs must need some guidance, even the vets every once in a while. How do you get help if ur alone?
It was a Saturday when I was working in this video. Saturdays in this hospital would be perfect to train new techs and that’s a good question, Ive personally never encountered a situation where I needed help but I guess if I needed help I would call the manager who would be on call that weekend and depending on the situation they can come over and help or they could just help me through the phone.
Hi im here in adelaide i was planning to enropp amd get certificate 3 for sterilization..i have 5 years experiemce also before in big hopital in phil and i miss that kind of job.Hoping afte i finish the certificate i can get a job here.
If you’re referring to me wearing gloves in the clean side it’s because I’m just used to wearing gloves. You’re technically not supposed to, however most facilities let you wear them depending on how cool management is
Hi I really wanna get into this field but I’m concerned I have a back condition and I can’t lift really heavy things. Is there any really heavy lifting involved great video btw i subscribed
Not really, the only thing “heavy” would have to be the big instrument sets. Even though there’s a “25 pound” limit sometimes i feel like it’s heavier lol so I think you should be good
My hospital is hosting a over the fence job assimilation for Sterile processing, give you a behind the loom while helping you get a crst. I work at a cafeteria and I already have a lead manager certificate, feel like I'm. Not going anywhere here. Very curious, and with me being super meticulous and taking my time, this really has peaked my curiosity 🧐🧐😳😳
