Hello everyone…I am a CST. I graduated August 2021. I wanted to tell everyone while doing the surgical tech program…I worked full time. It was NOT easy! My job allowed me to study on my downtime and thank goodness I had a lot of downtime! I wouldn’t have passed otherwise. I worked 3-11pm and had to be at class by 8am. On clinical days I was up at 5am and was at the hospital by 6:45am-3pm THEN worked 3-11pm at my job (as an aide in assisted living). I was VERY disciplined! I didn’t do anything other than study. Nope…no social life. I got very little sleep too. But I did it! I made it work. I graduated top of my class and passed the national board. If you have any questions for me, feel free to leave them❤.

@MzSeptember Год назад

Thank You, Amy. 🤗🙌🏾

@amyc4406 Год назад

@@MzSeptember Your welcome☺️. I was on autopilot while balancing school, work and clinical. I literally use to get only 4 hours of sleep! It was like a nap really (oddly your body gets used to it. I knew it would be temporary). At one point, I believe I was taking 5 classes at once. BTW…I had all my prerequisites done prior to the surgical tech classes. Highly recommend!!!

@SURGICALTECHGEEK Год назад

LOVELY!!!! Thank you for sharing! It's rough working while in school and it takes a lot of DISCIPLINE. Hard but not impossible. You gotta want it bad.

@ruthsmith5756 Год назад

Wow, I am starting my st program in Janurary .. I'm fresh out of high school since I just graduated in june . Do you have any study tips that might work for me once I start my semester? Also can you give me some advice for when I go into the working world after I complete my program? Thankyou!

@danielleparker4774 Год назад

Wow any pointers on scheduling? Currently sinking without my balance, my grades are good and I’m all caught up on work but I’m always overwhelmed or exhausted or both, but I really wanna be in this field as I’ve always had a passion and want to be in the OR

@AngieDhkymom Год назад

Its easier if you work as a sterile processing tech before you go to school for a ST cuz then you get to know all the instruments and trays blindfolded:)

@SURGICALTECHGEEK Год назад

Nope. You learn em on the go.

@YoungE591 Месяц назад

I totally agree, both of you are right, but I do agree about working as a sterile processor first because I'd you know your instruments then learn how to setup for the case its easy intensipate for what need and bam, hand off.

This was excellent. Thank you for the comprehensive, personalized overview of both education and career experiences. I am 37, a mom, and a breast cancer survivor. I've always been drawn to STEM, technical, and first and foremost, healing professions, however did not pursue them for either of my undergraduate degrees. I'm particularly drawn to the anatomy and physiology core, and also the proximity to life and death and the opportunity to alleviate major suffering.

Dummy questions? What is that?

@gigglydogmom Год назад

I found an online school med cert for a surg tech and I was curious ... would hospitals or surgery centers even accept online with the hands on work being online through a virtual setting ? I'm in FL so I know some hospitals want you to have hands on work with cases

@@SURGICALTECHGEEK they did tell me today they will have clinical requirements after I'm done so I'm not sure that will entails exactly

I'm looking into the same online school. From my understanding they will help you find somewhere to complete your clinical requirements after you pass the state exam. Still not sure how the process really works.@@gigglydogmom

@@jammukaladka1234 Yes…RNs are in the operating room during the surgery but their job is different than a surgical techs. RNs get the patient and wheel them into the OR, they position them and prep them. During surgery they are in the OR…doing paperwork and getting anything the surgical tech requests. After surgery is over, they help transfer them into the stretcher, bring them back to PACU and give a report to the PACU nurse. This process then repeats. Hope this helps.
