I'm a CNA now working in the PACU def thinking of being a tech or first assistant. Crazy I was flipping burgers a year ago 😅. Seeing black brothers doctors and other nurses definitely made me want to strive for more.

@pennygirl223 5 месяцев назад

I'm also a CNA and I am going back and forth with what I want to do I don't know if it's going to be LPN or surgical technician

@Ashley-og9ti 2 месяца назад

That's amazing you're constantly striving for more to better yourself✨️ in surg tech school now🙋🏽‍♀️ lmk if y'all have questions I actually used to be a CNA a few years back in my hometown not very long I knew direct patient care was not for me and still everyone just assumes or pushes me to go into nursing school lol

@reddbendd 22 дня назад

There’s some jobs that are willing to provide you with the training. Enroll in nursing school, youd be able to be an anesthesia tech & surgical tech as a nurse

I wanted to be a surgical technologist but I am currently a travel sterile processing tech making an average of $1,400/week during cheap winter months and an average of $1,800/week in the summer months. So scrub tech wouldn't be a significant pay raise, if any. So instead I chose a specialty such as Cardiovascular Technology and soon to graduate in May 2024. Now I'll be making $45/hr in a cheap city or I can drive an hour away for $55-60/hr starting rate working at a hospital for 2 years for the experience to get ready to travel and make $3000-$4000/week as a RCIS. So for those of you looking at a change go for something where you are going to start off high pay such as Cardiovascular Technologist, X-Ray Tech, and the best associate degree will be Dental Hygienist. Dental Hygienist make bank right out the door even more than a nurse so if you don't mind cleaning teeth definitely go for that! Good luck to everyone make that 💰! Yeszir

I live in Maryland by the way and the city pay is cheap AF to the point Chick fil A pay more than some medical jobs smh.

Imma dental hygienist and the money is good but the corporate companies are on your neck to run numbers, it’s boring and repetitive, and my back and wrist is done and I’m only 42….i graduate nursing school in December

@Ashley-og9ti 2 месяца назад

I was going to say dental hygienist don't make much at all lol where I'm at now and going to school for surg tech, I'm constantly looking at travel jobs even tho I haven't graduated yet (and realize I will need experience too but traveling is the goal) and see ST jobs all the time paying over $3k a week and that's just for general or ortho, etc. Even more ie over $4k for specialties like CVOR. I'm actually about to start working in sterile processing to get the 400 hours so that I can get dual certified for both CST and CSP

@ASimpleBall 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for the info. I’m looking into this field and I’m still debating on it. How stressful is it and how rushed are the setups you have to do?

@TheSurgicalGuru 4 месяца назад

The job can be quite stressful. It takes time to learn the doctors preferences and were typically given 30 minutes to get a set up ready in the morning. Depending on the speciality and the surgeon you might be rushed more or less but it eventually gets easier with time and experience.

Hey there Is it a privacy policy at hospitals where if I call staffing and ask for a person is it against code? HOW TO REACH PEOPLE? I was needing person references

You should😊 I'm in school now for ST graduating at the end of the year

@TheSurgicalGuru 2 месяца назад

That’s amazing keep going!

@AshleyNicole 3 месяца назад

I’m in school for this currently and there are so many discouraging videos. My goal is to work in plastics and a private practice and I heard those surgeons are the worst…any advice or insight?

@Ashley-og9ti 2 месяца назад

I had to stop watching most the videos they were so discouraging 😞 but in school to become CST now and can't wait to get in the OR. You will do fine.

@soninsolenceallsaint1511 4 месяца назад

What about OT? What if I wanna work more than 40 hours / week. Is that possible / common?

@TheSurgicalGuru Месяц назад

It depends on the hospital, how busy it is and if it’s available.

@tootyabootmindlessk5 5 месяцев назад

When on call, do you only get paid if you actually get called in?

@TheSurgicalGuru 4 месяца назад

No, you get paid a small wage for being on call and time and a half when you get called in. Gotta pay people for being restricted and confined to 30 minutes from the hospital while being on call.

@good.vibes.only00 3 месяца назад

How do you know what instruments for the surgery are needed? Is there a guide?

@felimonvargas2090 3 месяца назад

they have packs already made for the specific surgery procedure, the instruments are in the pack.

@Ashley-og9ti 2 месяца назад

Sterile processing will prepare the instrument sets for different cases, you may have to grab more or extras; but you learn all about instruments, identifying them and what they're used for in school.

@Kongerice 3 часа назад

You learn the instruments in school. My first month was dedicated to learning the instruments. Seems hard, but it's doable

@ambitiousbeauty1013 Месяц назад

Do you think its a good idea to start off as a sterile processing tech then become a surgical tech? Or should I try to go straight to sugical tech school?

@TheSurgicalGuru Месяц назад

It’s not a bad idea but I don’t believe it’s necessary but it could definitely be helpful. I’d recommend going straight to Tech school. In school, you will learn about the instrumentation. Also, once you go into externship you’ll spend some time in sterile processing. Also, you could always go to the department and learn extra during your externship. The hospital that I did my externship at didn’t have a need in the operating room after I completed my training and I was fortunate enough to get a job in sterile processing and I was able to spend some time learning the instruments for about six months before I got my job in the OR and it definitely helped me but still I don’t believe it’s necessary I would go straight into tech school if that’s ultimately your goal. You’ll be good my friend!

You telling me surgical technologist is on call every day of the week? Like you can never plan to have a day with the family, go to a theater, anniversary dinner, valentine date, etc? That job sucks.

@itsDjjayy 3 месяца назад

@Ashley-og9ti 2 месяца назад

STs are NOT on call every single day of the week 😭
