It was hard for me to adjust from non sterile to sterile as well Danny. I was a darkroom tech in radiology to OR tech. My advice us to throw out everything you have learned in non sterile. Make yourself think like a beginner. It will help. You'll feel like a baby. Simply because for a while you'll hear, DON'T TOUCH, DON'T TOUCH!" Lol.
I'm looking forward to starting my surgical tech program which will be a year long, 3 semesters; Fall, Spring and summer (2018-19). I also would like to prepare for nursing school in the future and CNA is a requirement for my ADN program and would like to include a fast track 6-week CNA weekend course during Fall semester. Is that ill-advised? -Fall semester we have lecture and labs, meet 3 days a week -Spring semester we do clinicals and and meet Fridays for lecture, meet 5 days a week -Summer semester, we do clinicals and meet 4 days a week Can you give me insight on what I should expect during these semesters so I have a better judgement whether I should include the CNA program in conjunction with the ST? I can always do the CNA later, but that means I have to apply to nursing later as well. I presume it's more manageable if I do the CNA during Fall, as the ST only meets 3 days week. Or is it better if I focus 100% on ST and leave out CNA for later? Why am I doing this? ADN was my first choice, but ST picked me up first, I can't turn down this opportunity (if I don't get into nursing)
Tomorrow is my first day of employment. Recently graduated and certified..yay me! Any advice on the newbie position? I'm use to the clinical rotation so what could I expect as being a new employee vs student? Thanks in advance! I'm super nervous!!!!!
Question: have you thought about becoming a first assistant surgical tech? that’s my goal right now as i am working towards my associates degree in surgical tech. what’s the difference between a first assistant and a regular ST? Do i need further schooling? just wanted to know more about FA vs ST. Thanks!
you should think about making an instagram page ! i love watching the videos however sometimes looking at quick pics and captions are nice too!
