Son...yes, this is Shane's dad, you should be very proud of what you have created here! This is more than just educational videos, you have changed lives with the compassionate understanding of your subject matter, and your gift of being able to make complex situations understandable to people. What you've done here is much more than just Surgical Tech Tips. Shane, you've created a legacy that will live on for future generations of CST's, FA's and more medical professionals than you realize. Andrea's comment earlier is also a testimonial as well for patients going through medical procedures themselves who are searching for a better understanding, comfort, and peace of mind during anxious and unnerving times before undergoing procedures themselves...WOW! ♥️
Thanks pops!
Your son makes fantastic videos!! Very great!
Very nice words from your father. That is lovely that he recognizes you. I have watched many of your videos and set ups to help me while I was training to scrub in as a scrub nurse. I relied on them at times. So thank you for that! It's nice to see you back and I wish you much success wherever you go or whatever you do in life. You've got this! :)
@@SurgicalTechTips Shane, you deserve it. You were one of my biggest inspirations when learning about surgical technology. You made scrubbing easy to understand. I can only imagine scrubbing with you and being very comfortable, knowing how hostile the OR can be
❤😍😍
Absolutely, please continue making videos. Your contribution is so welcomed. If you can improve preference cards, that would be a miracle onto itself.
Its a hard task, but that's the goal! Haha
You have a gift with explaining difficult subjects that only OR techs would be interested in. Wish you the BEST friend!
Thank you Lisa! Really kind words there.
I remember I found this channel about 5 years ago when I was recovering from my 3rd knee surgery. I binged watched all your videos while on bed rest. Made me rethink my career path. Currently about to finish out my time in the army and begin my journey to become a surgical technician. Thanks for the update and glad you found a new rhythm
Hi. It's 8/31/2023. I have really wanted your videos. Because they are very very good. I'm not a tech. In the morning I will be getting L5-S1 fusion and decompression. I'm 69 and this will be my 18th surgery. I just went to say I wish you were the tech tomorrow. You are amazing. Much success in you new journey.
As a medical device engineer, I keep returning to your channel for insights on usability of technology in the OR. Thank you for all the great content you have shared over the years, and best of luck with your new career!
That's awesome! I am very proud of you for making a career change and trying something new! I just watched your suture video on the way to my clinicals this morning! I did a career change of 10 years working for Wegmans (grocery store if you don't know), and now I'm in school for surgical technology and love every minute so far!
Amazing to hear Melanie! Its good to shake things up every once and a while. Makes us all still feel alive haha
@@SurgicalTechTips hi
@@SurgicalTechTips what is a.surgical tech can you say more
Bro , I’m so happy for you . Im a tech guy as well . i just finished a qa coding boot camp and it was hard as hell lol . Good luck on your new journey
Dude. Its soooo much. I swear I was putting in at least 18-20 hours a week learning for 6months and came out of it still feeling like a knew nothing.
@@SurgicalTechTips same here , my wife hated it lol . Going to be bed late all the time , no social life , weekends shot , but it’s worth it at the end . That remote life is amazing . Going back to a traditional 9-5 is going be tough 😳
Thank you for everything you’ve posted so far, and good luck with your new career! Cant wait to see how the app turns out!!
Thanks Taylor! Can't wait to create something GREAT that OR's across the country can hopefully utilize.
What an awesome comment from your dad! I agree, you have no idea how many people you have helped in the field including me who left the field for 25 years and came back successfully! Even here, I have hope because heck, I’m getting old and being a CST is a super physically demanding position and I’ll have to leave it again eventually! Staying surgical adjacent while appealing to your “nerdy” tech side/computer programming knowledge is a win for many! Warmest wishes to you, best of luck and I’d love to see any videos you happen to make!
Sir I am so happy you're back. I watched all of your videos. I am just fascinated at what you do. I do not work in the medical field but I find your videos so enlightening. We really missed you. Thank you so much for coming back. Good luck on your new venture and don't be a stranger.
I wont be Deborah!
I was wondering if this will be something new students/grads can use or if it is only available to the hospitals? I recently graduated and am about to start my new job soon. I'm terrified and this sounds like something that could really help
You’ll do fine, just be open to continue learning by making your team members happy, confident and proud of your part. with application and focus you’ll find your niche and broadened skill set
Congrats! I have enjoyed and learned so much from your videos! Would love to hear more about your new adventures.
Thanks Casie! Ill be sure to keep you all updated.
So great to hear from you! I'm still on my Surgical Tech journey and always love rewatching your videos. It's so good to make a change sometimes and I hope it all goes good! Wishing you and your family well! ❤
Thank you Madeline! Keep enjoying the journey into the OR. Its really such a unique workplace environment.
Love your videos. I actually watched your videos, then decided to go to school, and I graduated last June, and work at a big hospital now. I did my own card for these doctors. Quick notes help me a lot before I prepare and set up the cases, especially when I got call in to work. ,
Amazing work Iris. Personal p-cards help so much!
Q1. Why didn't you travel First Assist?
Q2. How much you making now vs First Assisting?
Kudos to you!!! I wish you the best on your new journey!
Thank you for teaching and sharing your wealth of knowledge in the OR.
I understand the evolution of change. When the light starts to burn out, you know it’s time to make a change.
In my mid 50’s, I became a Surg Tech after working in a career for 30 years. It’s been 10 years now and I’m ready to evolve again!
Keep us posted! May you continue to evolve and prosper! Most of all, enjoy your family….!
I'm so happy to see this video! I'm a surgical tech of almost 21yrs and, unfortunately I'm at the point of facing burnout, i have been for some time but it's all I've known. I'm currently off work for almost the next 2 months due to Achilles repair and some of my friends I've talked to have given me some intros to checking out coding when they hear the kind of lifestyle I yearn for at this point in life. So please do make more! I'd love to see how else can I help or make a difference in the field I love but doing something else. And I will welcome any tips you have about learning coding! I think I would be like you, I don't know if I could walk away completely- part time or per diem but I'm researching for something else to recharge me. So I sincerely thank you for this video!
Thank you for everything !!
Since i was a med student you taught me about sutures and instrument and now i'm a general surgery resident and still need to revise a bunch of things and i end up coming back to your channel.
Thank you for doing all those videos in your past. I was getting major anxiety waiting for T5-L5 fusion with 20% chance of death due to blood loss. I found your channel on my sleepless nights. Your clear & simple explanations of many of the roles and procedures in the OR (OR prep, instrument prep & cleaning, and patient positioning) helped me prepare mentally for the day. I'm now 13 days post-op, and had sutures out this morning. There were complications turning an expected 8 hours turned into 13 due to complications. Knowing that people in the OR were gonna be like you with the utmost professionalism and care, I was able to put my life in their hands. These should be required watching for pre-surgical patients. Thank you so much. Best of luck with your new adventure. That twinkle in your eye makes me think you'll rock it!
Andrea, I can't thank you enough for sharing this. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be reaching patients pre-op through these videos I've created. Helping ease your mind and heart before surgery wasn't something I could have ever anticipated just uploading some videos online. This world is truly amazing. Thank you.
I started clinicals a week ago as a cst student and you’re videos have helped a ton! Thank you!
Your channel was *instrumental* in my ST journey-from deciding whether or not it was for me (after viewing a few of your videos, my answer was a resounding “yes”!) to using the rest of your videos as a supplement during school, as well as after. I will be eternally grateful for the content you put out. I look forward to hearing about your newest endeavor (the importance of a good preference card is critical!!!) and have no doubt you’ll be successful.
Thank you for updating us on your career change, and I wish you all the best!
I just started the surgical technology program and we use incision academy in our courses. I think it's very informative and super helpful to learn from.
That's awesome!
Welcome back! Started watching your channel when I was in scrub school, now a CST going to nursing school to become an RNFA. Your channel is really an asset to students and new scrubs. Yes to videos about Incision and any apps! Best of luck!
Awesome! RNFA is a great position. I loved my many assisting days.
Just like today... I was passing a MAKO Knee and was trying to help a new Technologist by telling him to make notes for the order of the surgery. An app would help so much.
Maaannn, I dont think I've smiled that big in awhile 😁 seeing your face just made my freaking afternoon 😁 🥰🥰
Woah were almost on the same path ! I was a travel surgical tech for 7 years then my husband got assigned toJapan through the air force. Hard to find jobs here for military spouses. Long story short my bestfriend is a software engineer and he talked me into trying it out. Im going through a full stack bootcamp thats going to take a year. Its a big leap of faith im worried because im overseas and the time difference i wont be able to find a job i cant wrap my head around getting a job without the traditional degree etc. Im looking forward to using my brain more than my body anyways this gave me some hope theres a light at the end of the tunnel
You so were skillful in surgical technology, I love your videos.
Super kind of you to say this, Thank you!
I haven't clicked the video yet but I'm guessing chimney sweep.
Nailed it. You're in for a treat.
I embed your videos in my class (I'm a program director for a surgical technology program) and they really help the students visualize the concepts we cover in class. You did a great job bringing light to this incredible career. Thank you for everything you have done. Good luck in your new endeavor! I miss the OR so much!
Thank you for posting, and congrats on the new career move. I am a Program Director at one College and an adjunct instructor at another for surgical technology. I use your videos all the time. (so much my students jokingly call you my boyfriend. lol) Our students do a year in the classroom/lab before going to clinical, and your videos show them what I can not put into words for them to visually see. My new instructor is also using your channel in her classes as well. They really have been a blessing to us as instructors and to our students. We hope you continue to post new content on what you are doing now. I worked in the OR for 15 years and the last five as a traveler until I got into education in 2016. I've been a Surgical tech for over 20 years, and I love to have great examples of where the OR experience can take students, your story is one to share. We wish you the best of luck and thank you for all you put into Surgical Tech Tips.
Love, love, love this.
Sometimes a big change is just what a person needs to feed their soul. I'm an RN new to the OR & my nurse educator has me watching a lot of your videos. I wish you much luck & happiness in your new endeavor!
congrats! Glad to see everything working out and working from home must be awesome!
It definitely has some massive upsides, but downsides too! It has been a nice transition overall though, and looking forward to being more comfortable in this setting into the future!
Good for you hun! Irecently left the hospital full time myself, I stayed PRN as a tech but after finishing my bachelors degree in health science I wanted to make a change in my career and I am now teaching the next generation of surgical techs as an instructor at a local college… making a change to better my family and also to help get my physical and mental health back has been a breath of fresh air
Watched this channel when I started working in the OR 4 years ago, it was much help to learn more about my job....Thank u. I too left the OR in Jan and started a new journey...Good luck
Good luck on your new venture outside the hospital!
Any content you decide to share would be great. Glad you're okay! Past few years have been rough.
Covid was rough for sure. Crazy times in the hospital.
Congrats....i found your channel when I was studying and I stopped and became an online tutor. But I still found value and enjoyed your content..... thanks for everything. Good luck in your next venture
Great job. It sounds like you're helping OR everywhere. God knows everyone needs help in that department. I was asked to build a PREFERENCE CARD in PICIS, a new computer program to help OR. It was great and very informative. We worked with a lot of IT techs, and it took a year to build a new computer system for our OR.
Well done! As a theatre nurse I learnt to code over the last year to try to make preference cards work better for my theatre suite, glad I am not the only one doing this. Look forward to any more videos you make.
That's awesome! I was trying to create my own preference card app throughout my front end coding school too. Super fun stuff.
I would love to hear about incision! Come back to the channel for that when you feel ready and comfortable! I’m so happy to hear you’re going for what you feel is right up your alley and best! It’s incredible to know you’re gettinng to spend more time with the family and have a more flexible schedule! That’s awesome man!! YOU ARE A LEGEND! Thank you for all the educational videos! I passed my NCST AND I DEFINITELY HAVE TO THANK YOU FOR THAT!! ❤️
Legendary status. Whoa. Hahaha
I love your videos even before your major career change. Please tell us more about the apps and all this things that you are working on from home remotely. Best of luck and blessings on your new career.
This video is helping me realize I do not want to pursue CST and go into IT.
Is the App called “incision assist”? I downloaded it. Have to wait for invite it says. 35 year tech here. Just turned 60. Have seen a lot of changes over my career. Started MAKO robotic 3 years ago and now the Davinci next month. That’s how I found your channel.
Yesss make another video!! I love your videos ! So cool!!! I am currently in school for CST, starting clinicals soon! And honestly your videos have helped me a lot !! Thanks! And congrats on the new job!! 😎
I am currently a FULL time CST in a Front-End class myself, and I am wondering what my next steps will be. I have been following you since 2019. I will continue to check in on your future endeavors. I hope to see more videos. & Thanks for all of your ST insight. It has been a big help.
Could you please give a few examples of Careers for someone who has worked as A Certified Surgical Technologist for 15 years and up, but Careers that doesn't require an additional degree or more schooling , pass bachelors? I am a student looking to work as long as I can. When I am older , I'd like to advance my career but stay an undergrad.
Fantastic Shane!! So Happy for You!! Yes , I would love to see a video on what projects you are doing now and especially on how to improve preference cards, a huge area that needs great improvement. Your contribution to NVSA, volunteer work and ideas here in Nevada were outstanding. Sending love to you and your family. We will miss you! Your friend Dove Krueger CST
Good to see you again! While I’ll miss your hospital videos, I’m glad to hear life is treating you well.
Thanks Leslie.
I'm glad you found something you find fun to do! Everyone should always keep learning and if that means moving onto something else after tiring out from your current occupation, then so be it! Living a life you enjoy should always take precedence.
P.S: I'd love to hear about the cool tech you guys are developing!
Wise words my friend. Ill keep you updated
Hey, what bootcamp did you use? I was pleasantly surprised to find out you've already taken the career change I was considering! I'm considering data analytics moreso though.
Finding your channel on RUclips several years ago was such a great wealth of knowledge to me, an ICU RN transitioning to the OR where I would learn to scrub . Your videos taught me the basics and so much more. 5 years on I still look at some of them for a refresher. Best of luck with your new job at Incision. Been following their RUclips channel here and think what they are doing will revolutionize OR and surgical education. With you on board, it can only get so much better,
Hi, I have subscribed you channel when I was a student and then I been a Scrub in neuro theatres and as Anaesthetic and Recovery nurse. All thanks to you mate for the videos, they helped a lot and gave me power to be in OR . I am also working currently as REsearch nurse and work from home. I can also understand the tough programme, as I have done MAsters in Data Science recently part time , it never looked like part time though, specially learning everything from scratch including coding, stats n what not .. Congratulations.. We will look forward when you start sharing your new journey may be on another channel(?) .. keep us updated..
Absolutely! Thanks Govind.
So funny to see this video now: I watched your videos as a new nurse in the OR years ago and I am also now making the shift to tech. My goal is to one day be able to program my own games. Best of luck to you, fellow healthcare geek! 🥳
Love it. Good luck in your ventures!
Ive been thinking about a career change myself. Ive been a surgical tech for about 7 years now. Unfortunately, my feet have bad anatomy so i struggle standing 10 hours a day. I also love technology so your career change sounds appealing. if possible can you send me some information on it?
Your "robotic surgery tips&tricks video series" were awesome and unique. I watched them again and again. I sincerely thank you for your effort to prepare these informative and beautiful videos. I wish you a very successful career with your new job. If you come to Ankara, Turkey in the future, you can always contact/mention me from here (youtube). God bless you. Thanks...
This is awesome!!! would love another video!! How did you find the remote job? ARe they hiring still? Been following you for some time now. Happy your back!!!
I've followed you for a few years now I'd love to hear about what your up to, I've been a scrub for 34 years, I too have tried a few different things, aviation maintenance and repair, accounting blah blah, Tesla, I loved that job worked with and on robots pretty cool stuff but like all jobs I've tried outside of the OR, unless you were in that position for 5-10 year's, none of them paid enough, I'd end up right back in the OR within a couple of years, lol .....let's hear more about you
Hi, congratulations on your new journey ! This fall, I am starting my surgical tech program. I have checked out the Incision company. It looks interesting to me. The company offers two packages for accredited, video based education and training and educational institutions to stimulate students ' performance with visual learning. What package would you recommend for new students that start the program for better understanding and learning? And also, are these learning packages affordable (the price) to students who want to learn? Thank you for your response in advance.
Hy
I am from pakostan
And i am Surgical Technician have 2 year diploma, doing job in local hospitals
I have been watching your videos
Can you pleas tell me how to apply a visa for job
Thank you for all that your have shared over the years , it was much appreciated 🙏🏾💪🏽❣️
What made you leave pal? The hospital 🏥 life (SPT here in school soon for Surgical Tech) can be hard especially if you are feeling isolated or burnt out.
But it is my escape from problems and the extra shift calls.
I also left the hospital (the pandemic was the last straw) and now work in med tech. Even make more money. Sometimes I still miss the team and the patients, but as always in healthcare: It's a great profession but not often a great job.
Truer words have never been spoken. Well said.
Thank you for all the tips and advice. Please talk more about that app and if you could do a video about preference cart, it would be great.
Thanks again man! It’s a school that you have here!
About time dang smh
Thank you for the video. I'm looking for a career change myself. I enjoyed your presentation and it would be nice to hear more about how you joined incision.
Do you think AI will replace Surgical Tech jobs in the next ten years?
Did you take the bootcamp through the company? I am in the process of teaching myself coding (working as a CST now). Your videos were a huge inspiration for me to get to where I am now! Wishing you the best!
Completely seperate. I went through Nucamp fullstack coding bootcamp while I was working full time as a surgical assistant.
I left scrubbing two years ago and I couldn't be happier!
What did you venture into!?
@@SurgicalTechTips Became a Laser Tech. Like you stated, the work/life balance is way better. I'm working less and making way more than I did as a scrub.
Laser tech as in deematology?@@Locutis9
It's so nice to hear from you again! You inspired my to get into the OR out of college back in 2017-18 - I loved it! Funny, now I'm also working remote for cardiography support. God bless in your adventures!
Very cool, what type of remote work is that? I'm intrigued..
I am interested in it. I am also a Surgical Tech looking for a career change that can work from home. Thank you for all your videos that helped me a lot on how to be an excellent Surgical Tech
You sound exactly like Jim Halbert ( the office )
I also wanted something more challenging than just general surgery so I joined the cardiac team at my local children's hospital, repairing congenital defects. It's such a specific speciality it's really testing my abilities. Just subscribed to incision on RUclips due to your new found position and recommendation for this company. I will be working my way through the videos and look forward to seeing you again soon on one of your great videos. All your content is appreciated by the worldwide medical community. Keep uploading videos and best wishes with your new position making the operating room better understood for many many professionals and patients alike.
CRST
Amazingly kind words. Thank you!
I update preference cards on my computer.
If there are changes I just go into “word” and add or subtract preferences.
I can’t wrap my head around an app
I have a bachelor in Operation theatre technician , how do I get Certificate of surgical technologist in us and work there ?
Definitely will like to know more about it. Also I have other ideas that will like to share w you and to tell you my story. Looking forward to talking to you.
Talk about the bootcamp you went to, i'm interested in programming as well. health care tech would be a dream
Had a feeling you did something different. Surg tech is a hard job.
I freaking loved the entry 😆 hi Budddy!! 😁😁😁
That's a sad sell out story to a outsourced company. Glad your still helping local people when you can.
I am very interested in the company. How can i also work or participate in the growth of this app?
Same with me, left OR as a scrub into tech boot camp. What inspired me to join the tech industry was because I wanted to build a game to help scrub nurses get better in surgery. Please do a video about incision!
I will keep you posted!
This is a great company! Would love to join the team
Thank you for all your videos. I am a mature student and I was looking for ways to better understand medical tools and processing. I am going to do my practicum in July. Will miss your videos.
Thanks for sharing Pat!
Yes I would love to know more about the products that are being produced for the OR , If it will make my job easier. I'm a organizer of the OR , ER & orthopedic casting rooms . As my path from being a senior ortho tech , to vacillating from Surgical tech to a PA with a orthopedic disciplines . And working but releasing yet my own Orthopedic Technology RUclips Channel .
Awesome man, shoot me your YT channel when you get it up and running!
surgeons can act like toddlers sometimes. Despicable
I was wondering what happened with you. Good for you.
Sorry,but all scrub tech school is a disaster! You have to learn from European how is to be top notch in OR! First, you should be RN in Europe ,second specialized in operating theater! 4 years of school, 2 years in OR to be a scrub! Here is a disaster! We don't have circulating, we are nurse not tech!!!!
ok.
You got me watch medical surgery videos
If this makes sense you look like a young guy tryna disguised them selves as an older man
Wow thats crazy 5 months ago i did the same thing! I had been in the OR for 8 years, 3 years traveling as a CSFA. Changed careers into tech and work from home now as well. Its a huge difference in work life balance for sure. Wish you good luck!
I’ll look forward to more updates on your new career and hopefully you will be able to teach us great new tips.

I'll be sure to keep you all posted!

Glad things are going well for you! I wanted to express my gratitude towards you and your channels content. Almost 5 years ago, I got into the ST life and have since moved on to a first assisting program. Starting to desire working for a vascular surgery rep company, so no shame in career changes! I hope that things continue to work out for you and thank you so much for starting what you did!
My man, thank you Eric!
I went from surgical tech to sales rep, still in or but get paid a lot more
We need an update video? Please!
Great love to learn more about the app! Work smarter not harder!!!
Good luck in your new endeavors.
Thank you Pat!
Yes. It’s been long time..happy to see you again. ❤from india
Hello Robert from India!
