I'm a surgical tech and I can say this is very accurate. Standing for long hours is no joke, get good shoes and support hose while you're young! Some surgeries you can sit in, such as eye and some hand/foot surgeries, it depends. Often scrub techs specialize in a field (like plastics or orthopedics) while working in the hospital, especially the larger ones. Some cases you need to wear a full body heavy lead apron if the C-arm is going to be used during the case; it is hot and heavy. And some cases are done in uncomfortably warm environments (pediatrics and burn cases) or very cold, you'll have to deal with that as well. It is important to check your state about scrub tech requirements. Some states want you to be certified or military trained, others are willing to accept on the job training, but I think the trend is toward certification. Thanks!

what about military experience? air force has surgical tech jobs . i was a air force scrub tech in the 80s working in a urology clinic and doing surgery twice a week. went to surgical school at sheppard afb in texas for 8 weeks. after graduation they sent me to alabama and then to germany... traveled all over europe. great times and memories...

I’m currently working towards a sterile processing program then at some point moving up to a Surgical Technician.

Surgical tech seems very good for a entry level job in the medical field.

Well teaching you explain it well to understand. A lot of videos up there about surgical tech. But they don't explain it well like the way you explain it. Well done!

I was told that now during Covid we can study and learn hands on instead of going gti school beforehand as now hospitals are desperate for ppl. I was told this when I interviewed for this job

Thank you guys for the video!!! Really informative!

It’s crazy I was thinking that surgeon’s can probably be mean b4 he even said it. I couldn’t deal with that at all.

Hello! My goal is to go to Medical School to become MD, but I also need money for the time being while going to school because I have no financial support from my parents. Is it a good idea to get this job to earn a living as well as medical experiences while going to med school?

What about Surgical Assistant like Physicians Assistant, where you need your masters degree?

👋. I really love your channel. I have a request about dialysis technician. And the different certifications if needed.

Would you be able to do a video on sterile processing technicians I'd love to see that!

So I'm interested in this field and have tattoos on my arms, most programs are asking for them to be covered. How exactly is that going to work out when you're washing forearms and hands all the time? Are long sleeve undershirts allowed? Also what's the tattoo policy like in the hospitals you've worked in so far?
