So happy to see this!! Viewing it a month after it posted, but I was hoping you were doing well all this time! Nice work! Im so curious to know more about how the first semester went.....I'm starting program in fall :)

I would have been dying with kids at home with zoom + freelance work to make ends meet. Fun watching your journey. All the best of luck to you.

Oh I can’t even imagine. A few of my classmates do it with kids but their husbands support them during this time. It is very stressful

[@edfox6921]

@@Traumagirlypop Okay, keep us posted. I did the same thing, went to a fire academy and then after time and money spent realized, " There aren't any fires to put out, it's all medical calls' . I wasn't into that so I split.

how are you clinicals going to turn out? so far my school is delayed because hospitals are barely admitting students cause of covid

[@Traumagirlypop]

Since there are only 14 of us we got to four different hospitals and in the OR we of course wear PPE even full body suits so we don’t have a problem with it unless things change in January. Sorry it is not the same for you 😢

@@Traumagirlypop ahh i see, for us there are still seniors that haven't even had the chance to go to clinicals yet :((

Hiii, I’ve been looking for Surgical tech programs and I can’t find a good one in my area. Which school did you attend?

[@Traumagirlypop]

Hi do your research about a credited school (NBSTSA) because so many aren’t and will straight up lie to you. Some good schools in my state of SC are Piedmont college, midlands tech, and Miller motte tech
