You’re welcome!
Thank you from Canada
Thanks for watching!
So I am already an Intern as a scrub tech. Would you recommend online or should I still go with in person classes?
Can you let me know what you mean by as an intern surgical tech? Usually an intern has already completed formal education and interning is getting the hands on experience. Either way I totally recommend preppy because they are so affordable and flexible around your schedule. surgicaltechonline.com
Thank you this is really broadening my scope of what's possible
You’re very welcome!
Does it matter what the water temperature is for any of the final rinsing?
No it doesn’t.
Are you supposed to soak the instruments 2 to 5 minutes after cleaning our before cleaning or a total of?
Before cleaning. It is intended to allow the product to loosen the soil and debri.
Thank you
@@thesterileguy thank you :) Also, is this just simply considered best practice? I could not find any AAMI guidelines.
What do advise when the OR send down trays that only have been sprayed with a pretreatment 50% of the time?
how much should I be making Per Diem no benefits... I got a @29.00 offer today
How many years experience? Are you certified? Where are you located? Depending on those variables it could be a great offer, or meh.

Hello, I just got passed now with the help of Ben Who gave me the exact questions and answers which I got all on the day of my exam
It really pain after studying so hard I end up failing 😢 Honestly CIS test is really hard, I don't think I will ever pass this test
I finally passed today 💯🎉🙏 all thanks to Ben, he made it possible for me of all my repeat exam takers don't give up
At times it doesn’t matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success
@@MarkDries-b5wAbsolutely correct.
Hey I have the 8th edition. Will the chapters still work on this edition as the 9th edition? Thanks love your videos.
I highly recommend getting the 9th edition manual. Many techs have told me about failing the new exam because the eh were studying out of the 8th edition manual. hspa.users.membersuite.com/shop/store/fb88528b-00ce-cc47-192c-0b44fc83d986/detail
I’ve read the book and I do pretty well on the quizzes and the practice tests that comes with the book. How well does that translate to the test?
It’s helpful.
Hello, It really pain after studying so hard I end up failing 😢 Honestly CHL test is really hard, I don't think I will ever pass this test

At times it doesn’t matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success
@@AndersonWingate-kh9hnAbsolutely correct.
I passed the test in 2019 by studying free materials I found online. Practice test, flash cards etc. The test was hard but I passed. When I applied for my first job the hospital was very surprised I had my cert. I worked until I got my 400 hours in then I was "let go" right before the pandemic for vaping in the parking lot on my break. Never cared to find another spd job after that and even if I did I would have to get recertified all over again I think. I loved the job but the pay was horrific. My hospital hired uncertified travelers that were getting paid 3x more than me and I had to train them.
Sounds like you had some difficult times. Where you live? That usually plays a big role in pay. And I agree, when a hospital is paying travelers so much more than their own technicians, it’s a big reason why there’s such high turnover rates. If they just paid their own technicians better, they wouldn’t have to pay out the ass for travel techs who can often cause more headaches with training than their actual use.
Is this program good for Colorado?
Yes! I used to live there by the way, loved Colorado.
@ thanks for the feedback:)
How long is the whole process to become a Sterile Tech? Do you have to do pre requsties or can you just start the certification immediately? Is it easy/hard to get into sterile processing school?
I have a video that answers all these questions right here: m.ruclips.net/video/0sNGB88K2nw/видео.html&pp=ygUbU3RlcmlsZSBwcm9jZXNzaW5nIHRyYWluaW5n
Just Ordered the Ultimate Course with the discount Code Thanks man lets get it!!!!!!!💪
Thanks for the support! I got your cards packed and ready to hit the post office.
Im a surgical tecnologist from iran with 10 years working experience .ive recently moved to canada and im going to find job wich is related to my career .. could i take cst exam?
Here is the link to the NBSTSA CST handbook. www.nbstsa.org/sites/nbstsa/files/pdf/2023_CST.pdf Eligibility is under section 2 which does not afford any exceptions for international experience. You will need to show proof of education accredited by their selected accreditation organization.
Hello, I took the CER, and passed 😊, thanks for your time. Also do you ever do phone calls? I have so many questions
Congrats! I don’t do phone calls but feel free to send me an email to brandon@thesterileguy.com
Hey sterile guy, I took CRCST exam and failed. I put in request to retake. I could really use the best strategy for passing next time.
thesterileguy.com/products/sterile-processing-ultimate-bundle Ordering that bundle is a great start.
Pls send me preppy info Thank you

Gm Hru ? I ordered your test nd flash cards But I seen that u have flash cards of the instruments do they ask to name or label the instruments on the test
Hello. Depending on the version of test you get on test day you may come across questions concerning instruments since they do show up on the content outline. I’m not sure you’ll be shown pictures and asked to identify the instrument, but knowing the instruments and their specialties will be very helpful.
😆
What should I wear to the interview ? I have one Wednesday.
Luckily the job doesn’t require anything too fancy. But for a guy I would recommend slacks with a nice polo and for women slacks and nice blouse or dress.
I was told by IU Health that as of 2025 , it will be required that all student surg techs complete a 2 year program minimum
I'm assuming you're referring to Indiana University Health? AST already enacted legislation in Indiana in 2010 monopolizing certification to only exist through NBSTSA which already requires two year accredited programs. 2025 won't change anything. AST and NBSTSA have been working together to try and monopolize as the only pathway to surgical technology because they want to capture all the money in the field of certification for surgical technology. It's gross and should be amended because monopolizing an industry violates American antitrust laws.
Can you please make a video on where I can get certified surgical tech, I really want to become a certified surgical technician but I don’t know where I can go for a certification program and externship.
Great timing. My very next video is exactly that. It will publish November 12th.
I tried contact with you on an email, but you didn’t respond to my email
Check your email. You posted this message like minutes after you sent the email 🤔
IFU
How much we need to pay as tax ? For international
Can you be more specific?
Great information!!! I agree the Doctors / OR doesn’t know nothing about our job. Even when we do our homework they lack respect of what roles SPD play. Thanks again for the info its very helpful 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Welcome
Whichever way your washers are work towards your washers don’t work away . I see so many people work the opposite way. I have one hot one cold one rinse .
Always working in the flow of dirty to clean, love it.
Is this program is compatible with Ca, MA or CT? These are the states I'm able to work in. Currently taking Preppy courses rn.
Yes. The only two certifying agencies are HSPA and CBSPD and neither require specific training except a documented 400 hours under specific duties if you go for the full CRCST.
@@thesterileguy sorry last question, do you have any idea if the surgical tech program works well for those states? Tysm for your replies you're the only informed person that seems to reply.
@@sirensorceress93 Little bit tricky but here goes: CA has no accrediting issues. CT does currently, though there may be a loophole since their legislation also states "any other program" approved by department of health which could be more options. As far as MA, their legislation states any surgical technologist program accredited by NCCA, which the NCCT certification is. So basically CT is the uncertain at current time. The issue is the Association for Surgical Technology. They are in cahoots with NBSTSA and trying to get states to enact legislation that makes them the only source for surgical certification attempting to block out other certifying agencies "legally." It is a real shitty move and basically they are trying to monopolize the surgical technician certification arena by blocking out competition using state law. It's egregious. Not sure if any of that interests you but just so you have the details.
@@thesterileguy it is so tricky figuring it out! Unfortunately most CST groups are saying they are voting to move them into associate's degree only programs because they believe it will up their wages but I don't think that will be the case. Hopefully it is a loud minority!
@@sirensorceress93 I've heard that argument too. Unfortunately, it will not convince thousands of hospitals to change their pay structures when they are already paying 2 year associate techs a current fair market wage. It is a pipe dream sold by NBSTSA and AST as a strategy to own the market because they are money and power hungry. It's all in the name of "degree vs certificate" as a ploy.
I’m thinking of paying for my sister’s training for early Christmas gift!!!! She has been looking for options for schooling but not many options that offer the clinical options but I came access this review. I do want to ask about the pass rate for certification test?
Are you asking what is the pass rate of the training? Or of the certification test after training?
Hi brandon .. is it possible to show us at least 2 questions of the CHL test that you are selling?
Questions are multiple choice similar to the free CRCST practice exams on the website but with questions based off the information from the HSPA Leadership Manual. Mix of definitions, true/false, scenario based etc.
Delayed processing
Hi where can I get some of your pass questions to buy
thesterileguy.com
I just bought the 8th edition so does it mean I should get the 9th edition and the work book too? I need some of the past questions to buy, where can I get it from?
