    Good to know. I’ve been thinking about going this route and then eventually becoming a CSFA

      That is a great route! CSFA’s can make more money and have a bigger part in the actual procedure as opposed to managing the entire back table and supplies.

    Can a Nurse works as Surgical tech in US...if I bachelors degree do i still need a schooling?

    • @thesterileguy
      @thesterileguy  8 днів тому

      Kind of, let me explain. A nurse works under their own license, so they can work as a “scrub nurse,” however, they still have to undergo Perioperative Nurse training. A lot of times hospitals have their own internal training programs for nurses to move specialists like Operating Room, Emergency etc. So yes, but you’ll still need Operating Room training for nurses which includes scrubbing tech roles.

      Are you referring to the course I have linked in description? If so I would say probably a 6/10. If you are a procrastinator and have difficulty motivating yourself then maybe 7-8/10.

      @@TheTiberuisWay Depends on the school and if their curriculum properly prepares you. But the Surgical Tech certification test is definitely difficult for sure because it covers so many different areas. You'll definitely want a good school, and definitely want to continue studying the books while taking practice tests.

      There used to be a bigger difference over a decade+ ago as far as pay, however, most hospitals don’t care how you got certified as a surgical technologist/technician, you get paid the same amount. Surgical Technologists have a degree in Surgical technology, whereas Surgical Techs have a shorter program like a certificate, or course etc. Spending more money on an associates degree doesn’t get you higher pay anymore. Nor does it state if you’re a better tech or not. It just means you were able to memorize more and pass tests. It all comes down to your performance in the operating room as to whether you’re a good tech or not.
