    I can't wait to start this. I figured while I'm in school for surgical technology, sterile processing would be a great opportunity. Not only is it going to serve as a huge leg up for me when I do graduate, but it would be a great opportunity to learn all the instruments before I even had an instrumentation class in school. I'm so grateful and lucky that my hospital hired me with 0 experience and 0 schooling. I start in a week and then begin my surgical tech classes in 2 months. Your videos are extremely helpful, thank you so much!

    I want to become a surgical tech but I’m seeing that having experience as a sterile processing tech first is a plus which i don’t have. I have no clue what to do first

      Work at a dental office as a sterile tech to start. Usually its entry level and will give you experience to get the job. I just got mine from being a dental assistant

    Your videos are always inspiring.... I called every hospital in the orlando florida area and was picked to volunteer at florida hospital but not for sterile processing. I keep getting the same information that they never do externships in the sterile processing department...When i first started the program i wanted to get ahead of the game because i know you have to complete 400 hrs so i signed-up volunteer..I also called to department manager at Advent Health and was told that he was to busy to talk to me and then he hung up.....Now I'm almost finish the program and about to get ready to pay for the test. but not sure what to do after that .. I guess ill try again or try another route i guess..

    i know its a weird question but are sterile processing technicians aloud to wear headphones if they have been in the trade for a while and know what they're doing? it seems like a nice job but looks like it can get lonely and boring at times.

      Headphones are not aloud in the department. However some departments will allow music to be played for the department.
