    Hey man, I love your videos, I’m a scrub tech also and I’ve been doing it for about two years now. I was wondering if you could make a video explaining CPR in a surgical setting. I’m CPR certified but the matter is never touched on during the CPR course and my facility has never had an Inservice or drill on the matter I know in the books it says maintaining a sterile field is your top priority and the 2nd scrub will usually start compressions and the nurse will get the crash cart but I know real world situations are different. I think it’s a good topic that is very informative. Keep up the work with the awesome videos!

Mine will use sponges and drapes until they no longer resemble sponges and drapes even though all of our supplies are donated and we have tons.

      Chris Gibbons Everything we have is donated from hospitals in the area so we reuse everything we have until they fall apart too. Our OR beds are very old and our dummys fall apart easily or don’t move well. All of our instruments were donated too and arent in good condition, but they get the job done. Our program only gets about $2000 a year and that basically only covers our gown, gloves, and other daily wear I assume. Really stinks since its part of University of Cincinnati, OH and a healthcare field, but we work with what we have!

They also assist with patient positioning, shaving etc. If the Tech forgets something in the supply room (for the operation), its the responsibility of the circulator to go back the supply room and retreive it for them. :)

    I have a few questions about the search Tech program school that you went to. Mainly the question is about the open lab or did you have a more constructive lab that you guys attended the thing is the school that I go to we have open labs and it is a total free-for-all I mean I'm not kidding. Over this entire semester I have been telling my instructors that I'm not able to get the practice that I need you know because the space is incredibly limited they only have tubes instructors while people running the Open Lab for like 20 students and they only offer openlab seven and a half hours a week it's just really like I I'd like to know is this comment that or is it uncommon that you get ignored like when you ask for help.

      Surgical Tech Tips I was just looking at my FATSA for student aid. I’m in Los Angeles everything is expensive however a 2 year Associate program is 30k+ What is your best way to go about this as I have no debt A CLEAN SLATE! How can I get out of pocket cost as low as possible does a good credit score matter or help :) I have lots of pressure with the age thing from family. They have High Expectations but are not the one Hitting The Concrete on 2 Feet

      I graduated in 2014, at the age of 42. I have a husband, and 3 children who were in school by the time that I enrolled in classes. Difficult, but doable in terms of logistics. I lived and died by my calendar to keep me organized.

    True about working with different people, you get A' holes in all walks of life and it's the same in the surgical environment. It is, what it is.
    Like the Rock said, when working as student. You need to "shut your mouth, and know your damb role". Biting your lip, when condersended to or put in you 'student' place is one of the hardest skill to develop. It is, what it is...

    • @carolineprentiss469
      @carolineprentiss469 5 років тому +3

      She's seen techs that can't even 'drape a mayo'. This refers to covering a mayo stand with a sterile drape. The mayo stand is the adjustable, moveable stand the Surg Tech places instruments on for use at the surgical field. They are easily accessible to the tech to pass to the surgeon. The 'drape' is a sterile cover placed on the stand itself, creating a sterile place to lay out the instruments. Knowing how to drape your mayo is an essential step in setting up your OR. I'm halfway through my 18 month Surg Tech certification course, so I'm still learning, but I do know how to drape a mayo! 😜
