    I passed my CST exam today with flying colors. I've watched almost all of your videos and they were so helpful in clarifying many things as well as making difficult concepts easy to understand. You are doing God's work. May He continue to bless you abundantly in Jesus' name.

    Is this only for US citizens? Can a foreigner(non American) apply for this CST ?

    • @SurgicalCounts
      @SurgicalCounts  Рік тому

      There's no requirement that you be a US citizen (that I'm aware of). But you must complete an accredited 2-year Surgical Technology program, which are only offered in the United States. There are other certifications (TS-C, for example) that do not have this requirement.

    Which play store cst app is the best to help with the nbstsa ? I got my cst certificate while in the air force and now after 14 years I'm retaking it so I can be back in the field. My set back is I have only done clinical ortho and podiatry so all the other fields I am rusty in. Hopefully you or someone who passed can let me know please?

Man I forgot almost EVERYTHING. Your videos HELPED to refresh my memory and served well as a crash course! You taught me things that even my instructors back then didnt teach me. I passed my recertification exam today thanks to your very good teaching! Im soo glad i found this channel. Alot of the ST videos are boring or annoying but yours arent! Thanks Mark! You helped me ALOT. 🤓🙏🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
