Me too I’m so happy I hate math I love science and everything else but math no idc what kind it is I can learn a foreign language before I understand certain parts of math
I currently work as a Patient care technician/ CNA and want to become a surgical technologist but want to start off as a sterile processing tech and see if it’s worth it.
The job descriptions between sterile processing tech and surg tech are distinctly different. While identifying instruments is the only common task, a sterile processing tech must sterilize instruments for surgeries, whereas a surg tech must maintain a sterile field throughout the surgery. If you're interested in pursuing a career in sterile processing, I suggest you use your position to network with different departments and ask relevant questions to gain a better understanding of different positions.
Thanks for posting this video. I'm a veterinary assistant working hard to get out of the field and into something less dangerous that pays better. Veterinary assistants handle the "sterile processing" within our clinics, but it's a considerably less intense process than in human medicine. At my previous position I took on a lot of the responsibilities and care of our instruments and equipment, as well as teaching others how to do it and putting together training material for future employees, and it was something I took a lot of pride in. I just registered for a local college course in sterile processing and my fingers are crossed that this works out for me. Your suggestions for interview questions were very helpful.
Thanks for the videos they really helped me make a decision to get in the field. I'm on my last week of extern and I start my job in January. Thanks again for the content.
Very professional delivery. I enjoyed listening to your presentation of questions asked. You spoke clearly and focused on the subject without a lot of jibber that normally distracts my attention away. Thanks!
Amazing, thanks so much for this class. Am highly motivated and inspired. Am about going into this field. Thanks so much it was helpful, and some of my fear was sincerely addressed.
I just came across your channel! I love how open you are about this job :) could you give me more information on self studying and taking the exam on your own? Is there a link or website to take the exam? Is it in person? Ty 🙂
Why did you choose this profession and not surgical technician? Is it because its more behind the scenes? I am looking into going into ST but then I saw this job profession as well so I am torn, I like the body parts and guts and the fact youre helping with surgery but i also am dreading the day you get belittled by a nurse or a doc lol I also tend to be shy and like to work alone sometimes (i was a lab assistant and loved it) so im torn!
You can always get started with SP and transition to a surg tech. That way you can grow you reputation at your hospital, and you already have a huge head start when starting the surg tech program.
I saw Amazon has Flash Cards for sterile Processing. I am switching from animals to humans, more instruments, different procedures but the basics are about the same. Would the flash cards be helpful?
Stupid question when you say renewing your certification you need credits where and how do you get those? I'm possibly starting a position In sterile processing they are allowing me to start without being certified but I have 2 years from hire date to obtain the certification.
I have worked in the restaurant industry most of my life and am currently caregiving but going to school for SPT in the fall.. your resume sees like it would be similar to mine. How did you go about it adding that into your resume?
Hi !! thank you for all the details ❤️ can I just ask overall, is this a stable job to have as a career ? i'm really looking into this. As of right now I'm a CMA but it's not a steady income unfortunately.
Hello I am currently in school and take my certification exam this April 15th 2024 yayyyyy!!! Now I just need an externship for my 400 hours which the school only has a few. How can I put myself out there without the school help?
To increase your chances of getting hired, I recommend applying for job postings that include the keywords "certification preferred", or require you to obtain a certification within a specific timeframe. Additionally, don't hesitate to reach out to the department manager and inquire about opportunities for students. It shows initiative and can help you stand out as a candidate.
Hello! I'm from Florida and I've been looking into this field, I found a very affordable course that is only a couple months long.. once I pass my test can I work right away/apply for jobs? Or would it be mandatory for a externship?
I am also in Florida and having a difficult time finding reasonable priced sterile processing programs. Can you share the course you found? How do you like the job?
I just bought the book and workbook from the iahcsmm website. There are vids on here of techs that didn't go to school and are self taught by buying the books and are in the field and loving it.
Great informative video! How did you start your career as an Sterile processing Tech? Did you self study or studied at an educational facility/ tech college? Did you have to get the 💉 to get hired? Thank you advance 😊
hi there! very lovely video! I was wondering what your thoughts on an online course that has no in person classes would turn out! I picked a school on a whim unfortunately and I'm scared I won't be deemed hirable if I haven't done physical classes.
Hi! Some hospitals/clinics do hire people with no experience (it's nice to hire people who don't come with bad habits they learned somewhere else, so sell yourself that you are completely open to learning/embracing your interviewing facility's methods!). Getting certified usually requires observation hours in a clinical setting, so when you have your cert, you will indeed have some actual experience under your belt.

This is an entry level position. It will help to feel everything out and see if you want to continue up the ladder

Hi do sterile techs work weekends?
Hi !! thank you for all the details ❤️ can I just ask overall, is this a stable job to have as a career ? i'm really looking into this. As of right now I'm a CMA but it's not a steady income unfortunately.

Hi can you share what course it is that you found?

@malinda.malinda I'm in Georgia, did an online course with Ashworth College and just received my certificate. Hope this helps
Nice videos informative 👍👍
Thank u
What are the schools again? I tried to look them up and I didn't see any schools that sound like what you said.
Great informative video! How did you start your career as an Sterile processing Tech? Did you self study or studied at an educational facility/ tech college? Did you have to get the 💉 to get hired? Thank you advance 😊
Can this training be transferred to different states or would I have to take the class again in new states ?
I’m thinking of switching careers, how long was your schooling for this job?
Hello how you recommend me I am not a native speaker. And I am not fluently speaker. What to you recommend me please.
How much cost
Can you do a video on Decon?
hi there! very lovely video! I was wondering what your thoughts on an online course that has no in person classes would turn out! I picked a school on a whim unfortunately and I'm scared I won't be deemed hirable if I haven't done physical classes.

Is there any heavy lifting involved?
It is no college degree necessary for this job?
Is the pay good?
Do you have to measure the instruments?
I have a job interview on Wednesday for sterile processing. I’m in school for surgical tech. Will this help me be a excellent scrub tech
It will teach you instrumentation and introduce you to sterile technique
🙏 ❤
How many hours duty for u
💜
💚
Do you need to be vaccinated for this?
I think any job in the hospital u do unless it’s like front desk but I’m not sure
is an externship required for getting certified or getting the job?
400 hours hands on and pass the CRCST to be certified. Getting the job depends on what that job requires.
@sarahpomella7381 not really I got a job without experience but I have my certification
You should change the batteries in your fire alarms. Because you do any videos. Its the main reason i stopped watching 😅
Omg whats wrong with freakin people
Buy a new battery for your smoke detector
Hi, I’m hearing impaired and having a hard time hearing some of it, she mentioned scholarship at 14:02,
