I start a job in a week with absolutely NO experience in Sterile Processing. Then in about 2 months I am set to start surgical technology classes that will last for 2 years. And I am a single mom of a 3 month old baby. I'm so so nervous--mainly for the job in sterile processing because I know nothing at all. But where there is a will, there is a way. Great video, thank you!
Well congratulations 🎉.being nervous is part of the process totally normal. Just be ready to learn and ask questions. It’s ok it you don’t know something😊 all the best. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
***Update I passed my exam! I do have my provisional certification. I NEED 400 hrs ASAP I don’t want to retake that exam. I’m taking your advice on being proactive, and not giving up On getting my foot in the door. In CA your right it’s a very high demand here, but I just can’t understand why they are being so picky with the amount of experience here. I’m going to keep on moving!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉✅congratulations on passing your exam!!!! that the attitude of a winner. Keep calling and reaching out to Sterile Processing Department preferably to the Director of Sterile Processing. Hey email address if your not able to speak to someone on the phone. All the best and good luck. Please update me when you get something💕🎉
I'm going to be sharing your video with my class. They are getting ready for their internship. I know they will appreciate your honesty. I know I did!! Thank you
Hello, I'm in school now studying to get my high school diploma online and my program is studying for sterile processing. It's a lot of reading but I am a reader so it really not too bad. This is something i never thought to do and its very interesting. Thank you for sharing your story and your personality is awesome!! Have a Blessed day!
Thank you. Well congratulations 🎊 to you and it’s a big plus that you love to read because that book is no joke if you don’t like reading. All the best and you can do it🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Hi new subscriber here. Thank you for this inspirational video. I've been thinking about either going to school or buying the book and learning the material myself for Sterile processing technician. I would love to see newer updated videos about this profession if you have the time. Thank you. 😊
Thanks for posting this video. I’m in CA, I noticed that a lot of job postings are requiring 1-2 yrs experience to work. I finished my online program and now studying for my exam. Also In CA we have less options as far as internships. Any advice on how I can get my 400 hrs if a job won’t hire me? Also was there a lot of Medical Terminology (human body and Disease) on the exam, besides the actual Sterilization part? It’s great to keep seeing Black women MOVING UP with their education, and being a role model for their kids. My sister received her Masters at 45 (wife, mother, and worked FT) I’m proud of you!!👍🏾
😊thank you. Yup California job market for sterile processing is booming right now. I would say call hospitals and ask to speak with the Director of sterile processing and ask if you could volunteer or do they have any paid internship positions. If your not able to speak with them ask for a email to get in touch. If you can actually get in without being certified even if the pay is not much do it if your willing to make the sacrifice. Most of the time once your certified they will hire you. Wishing you all the best you can do it🎉😊
I finish school in 2019 I didn’t start working until dec last year. I took my test yesterday and I failed so I’m studying once again. Girl I went thru the same thing with my chicken pox vaccine
Well congratulations 🎉 to you for not giving up. Let me know if you need any study tips. If your on Instagram DM me @dallesha_walters we can chat there.
Hi thanks for your question. When I worked in a hospital it wasn’t flexible. I work at a surgery center and it’s very flexible. I do 4 10 hour shifts I’m of for 3 days back to back. I don’t work weekends.
Hi 👋 I did payed for my course. The 400 hours was part of the course completion. The company had a contract with the hospital,so it was an easy transition, I had no issues with getting my hours done.✅
Congratulations 🎉 on your interview. They are not expecting you to know everything. They might ask you basic questions like what’s the purpose of sterile processing. Decontamination process. Just go with a positive attitude and the willingness to learn. Let’s be for real personality and the right attitude goes a far way. Good luck all the best 💗😊
Great question. The agency that facilitated the program, was also in charge of the hospital Sterile Processing department. So they basically had access to the department and allowed us to do our internship. (Free labor) under the guise of internship😊👀
Hi. Unfortunately the program that I did is no longer around, however you can go in there website and I think they have an online option. Sipsconsults.com
Good question. While I’m not able to tell you the exact number I can give you a range from $25-30. I have 4 years of experience. Hope this helps. Oh it’s ok to be big on the money.
Welcome to the party 🎉 😀. If you put crcst in quizlet search bar 500 questions should come up, those are the questions I practiced. I also used Proprofs to quiz myself. Hope this helps.😊
Hi . What is the name of the school of program you went to for 9 weeks in New York. I started reading the book on my own. I am in the NYC area. Thank you
Hi. Sipsconsults.com they are based out of Texas. Not sure if they are still in NY. But go to the website and it should give you updated information. Hope this helps😊
Hi, my classes was at a hospital . Sips Consults was the agency that used to run the Sterile Processing department. The hospital is in Westchester NY. They are no longer there but you can check there website to see what’s up.
Every state is different. For example NY you have to be certified, in Ohio you don’t have to be certified. So check to see what you need for your state.
Thanks for sharing. I start my internship next week after years of graduating and never working in the field. I have no knowledge of anything but im ready to learn. Any advice?

Oh a not much medical terminology questions when I took it.
Wonderful thanks for the advice!
Question what online program did you go to? thank you.
Hi, I didn’t do it online. At the time a local hospital had classes and internship available. What state are you in?
Finding somewhere to do the internship without the help of program to place you is challenging in NYC.
Absolutely agree unless you know people that works in the department it’s gonna be hella hard.
I finish school in 2019 I didn’t start working until dec last year. I took my test yesterday and I failed so I’m studying once again. Girl I went thru the same thing with my chicken pox vaccine

Awww ok ty
Love this video! I stared my program in April and I’ll be done August 1st. I’m excited about this new career. Are you in NY?
That’s awesome all the best. I live in Ohio moved from NY last year. It’s been a great career for me so far many opportunities.
@@dalleshaful hi are your schedule flexible? For example can you do 12 hours in 3 days? Or 10 hour shifts in 4 days
Hi thanks for your question. When I worked in a hospital it wasn’t flexible. I work at a surgery center and it’s very flexible. I do 4 10 hour shifts I’m of for 3 days back to back. I don’t work weekends.
@@dalleshaful oh wow that's awesome & thanks for the reply .
@@dalleshaful do surgery centers offer part time as well ?
How did you get your 400 hours? Did you pay for course?
Hi 👋 I did payed for my course. The 400 hours was part of the course completion. The company had a contract with the hospital,so it was an easy transition, I had no issues with getting my hours done.✅
Great information
Im set to interview for an internship next week. Can you give examples of question that may be asked? Thanks in advance
Congratulations 🎉 on your interview. They are not expecting you to know everything. They might ask you basic questions like what’s the purpose of sterile processing. Decontamination process. Just go with a positive attitude and the willingness to learn. Let’s be for real personality and the right attitude goes a far way. Good luck all the best 💗😊
How did you get into the volunteer program?...what was that process
Great question. The agency that facilitated the program, was also in charge of the hospital Sterile Processing department. So they basically had access to the department and allowed us to do our internship. (Free labor) under the guise of internship😊👀
I am interesting to do this course I live in Florida palm beach
That’s awesome 🎉check your local community college to see if they offer it there or just go online and see what pops up. All the best😊
Hello , I’m from nyc and I want go school to get the CSCRT, can you give some information about the school , the name and the price of the program
Hi. Unfortunately the program that I did is no longer around, however you can go in there website and I think they have an online option. Sipsconsults.com
Am starting the class next week ,plx wished me good luck, same here mother of three girls… just nervous
Good luck you can do it!🎉😊
Where did you go to school?
Hi. Sipsconsults.edu
I’m not big on the money, but how much do you make as a sterile processing tech? I going to start my program soon.
Good question. While I’m not able to tell you the exact number I can give you a range from $25-30. I have 4 years of experience. Hope this helps. Oh it’s ok to be big on the money.
Hi, great video. Please what school did you take your certification in nyc?
Hi,thanks for watching. I went to www.sipsconsults.com check out there website.
Any suggestions on how to find an externship after you did self-study and passed the test? I'm in North Texas by the way.
Reach out to hospital in your area. Specifically the director of sterile processing. Congratulations 🎊 on passing your exam☺️
Hi !I'm late to the party lol but what did you add to your quizlet to help you study for it?
Welcome to the party 🎉 😀. If you put crcst in quizlet search bar 500 questions should come up, those are the questions I practiced. I also used Proprofs to quiz myself. Hope this helps.😊
@@dalleshaful Seriously! You're amazing.Thank you for taking the time to answer my question, you're truly amazing 🥲🫶🏽 and I appreciate you ❤
Aww you are 🤗 welcome.
Hi . What is the name of the school of program you went to for 9 weeks in New York. I started reading the book on my own. I am in the NYC area. Thank you

What is the difference between tech 1, tech 2, and tech 3?
Hi each tech as different levels of experience. Meaning they are able to do more instrument sets per shift and more knowledgeable.
@@dalleshaful thanks
does internship included too?im really interested inthis career!thanks!
When I did it the internship was included.
Do you just apply to any Hospital for the inter ship ?
👋 hi Based on where you live you might be able to apply for a job. Where are you located?
@@dalleshaful Im in El Paso, TX.
You definitely can get a job in Texas without being certified. So apply to as many hospitals as possible.
I went to take my final exam n everything I study on my practice exam was not on the test
Oh no. Did you understand the questions though? Sometimes it’s just different wording of the questions.
Not all it seem different then the one school have for my practice exam
Wow. That’s crazy.
I'm struggling to getting internship
Just apply for jobs. As much possible .
I am very anxious regarding me exams which I will take in 2 months
If you do your part by studying and quizzing yourself as often as possible you will be ok. You got this🎉😊
what online school did u do it? thanks
Hi, my classes was at a hospital . Sips Consults was the agency that used to run the Sterile Processing department. The hospital is in Westchester NY. They are no longer there but you can check there website to see what’s up.

ARE U JAMAICAN?
Yes I am🇯🇲
@@dalleshaful OK me too im about to start a programe in this course and its 12,000 i was wondering if its worth it. the federal aid might pay half of it .im in maryland working as a cna in a nursing home but want to get into a hospital
. 12k or 1,200?
If its 12k it’s not worth it at all.
How much is it pay for hr?
Depends on your experience and if your certified, also each state have a different pay grade. So I’m not able to give you a definitive answer.
You could went to cvs and get the chicken vaccine lol ..
At that time I didn’t have a clue🤷♀️
Hello. Is there a book or a study guide I can get to help me out before I get in the program? Just to get a head start.
Hi. Yes there is. You can google www.hspa.org click on sterile processing and the book should pop up.
@@dalleshaful Thank you so much!
Your welcome. Be sure to subscribe I have a study tips video coming soon.
@@dalleshaful Have already did that🙂
Awesome🎉thank you.
