I am about to take my CRCST Test, and there was so much to study! I just really wanted to thank you for your teaching! It really helped me put it all together! I hope I don't choke on Friday, and wanted you to know that you made a difference!

[@syanovsk]

Maryann 'Maria' Hines Rangel there is no reason to choke. take your time and if you feel a choke coming, close your eyes and take a break. thank you for your comment and good luck. let us know how well you do.

[@mrangelhines]

How will you ever know how much you helped me with this CRCST Test today - Yes, that I PASSED! It was my second time, and had it not been for you and how you break it down... I just don't think I could have done it! I finally understand what I am doing ! Thus, I just wanted to say GOD BLESS YOU, Kind Sir! Your students are so far ahead of the game and so lucky to have you! And you deserve a raise! I hope you continue to teach, I know you are our CRCST IAHCSMM Angel from above. It feel so proud to have succeeded in this after failing in front of my two sons. I have a learning disability, and I don't have to many brain cells left! Yet, we did it! Can't thank you enough for what you do! Keep on being a good man! ( there aren't a lot out there, ya know!) Sincerely....

My son is going to Medtek college and says he has not learn anything from them because the classes are not well explain and yours , you got more dinamic than them. They only use the projector and go over the book reading the summary and some pages and highlights the "most important " I told him to look on KZbin since his finals are on Saturday he says your videos had help him study better than in class. Thanks for making these videos maybe you can make one on giving tips for the Board exam. Ahh and by the way we better get our money back from that school.lol

[@tintimaye1]

I would like to know the difference between Central service tech and surgical tech. Thank you so much for your videos

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

thanks for watching. Surgical techs assist the surgeon in the operating room with the setup and handling of surgical instruments. Central service technicians decontaminate and sterilize surgical instruments within a separate department. Hope this makes sense. There are lots of videos on KZbin you can watch to see what each one does.

[@tintimaye1]

Boston Career Institute (BCI Inc.) - Brookline Thank you for the response, I appreciate it.

[@MASKEDUPNOCASE]

Ultra sonic is considered “manual washing” ?

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

The word manual means by hand. Ultrasonic is a machine. However, it is not to be confused with the mechanical washer also known as a thermal disinfection machine.

[@SimonPeterthe12]

I love this

[@onescentaway]

[@sameent8900]

Hi. Can you tell me the name of the book you are referring to?

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

HSPA CRCST manual 8th edition

[@leonidasurena2955]

Hi Steve when you mentioned that if the water is too cold the enzymes in the detergent go to sleep and if the water is too hot they die. How cold is too cold? and how hot is too hot? Thank you sir.

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

Leonidas Urena the general rule of thumb is that it is uncomfortable for your hands it is uncomfortable for the enzymes.

[@epep50]

90-130, once your water and enzymatic falls below 90, dump your solution and start over.

What should you do if the washer is broken

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

Call for repairs :) follow department Protocols :)) no way around it unless the surgeon tells you exactly what they want and sign a "release".

[@dinalassere9011]

HI Steve, I was wondering if you have a video on chapter 15 on High Temperature Sterilization

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

I do. it is called steam sterilization. I don't cover dry heat sterilization but I will make a short film next week and post it. otherwise, steam video covers it all.

[@dinalassere9011]

+Boston Career Institute (BCI Inc.) - Brookline Ok great, I watched it yesterday and it was very helpful, I didn't quiet understand Oxidation, PA, Oxidative..ect... I didn't remember hearing you touching on these topics. Please direct me to any other videos. I'm watching the Skeletal System now you did.

+Dina Lassere these terms are discussed in the low temperature sterilization and disinfection. look there.

[@reemelhakim6294]

What is the name of the book that he referred to at the beginning of the video ? Thank you in advance

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

It is the iahcsmm sterile processing manual. Thank you for watching. Steve

[@blanca2523ful]

Hi Steve... Great video as usual. I have a question for you in regards to taking this certification course. Does it matter if it's taken on line/classroom setting? Can you learn about the same online as in a classroom ? Some advice I have gotten was to do it on line take exam look for a place to do externship and of course online is less expensive. In class it cost more at least at the school I found its hands on but limited its 8 weeks 2x week. Sorry to many questions but I know I'm asking the best in this field. Thank you for any advice you can give.

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

everything depends on the way you learn. if you are one of the people who can't learn on line, regardless of the cost is it is a waste of money. If you believe that you can, then do it on line. Having said that, finding an internship without a school is next to impossible as the hospitals require a contract And liability insurance. Once certified, you may be able to get a job and that will suffice for the internship requirement. If the school offers internship and you can afford to do it, take that route. You can always watch the videos and read the book a lot of people passed the test that way. :)

[@blanca2523ful]

+Boston Career Institute (BCI Inc.) - Brookline wonderful ! Yes the school offers externship once I passed the certification test not before does that sound right? This school is in California ( Santa Ana)

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

+Blanca Toro yes that sounds just right. most hospitals will not take an intern without certification.

[@blanca2523ful]

+Boston Career Institute (BCI Inc.) - Brookline I'm glad to hear this because I don't want to be suckered up. I will invest in class room setting and watch your video for support and better understanding. Thank you so much Steve.

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

+Blanca Toro I hear you. Always check the school's credentials such as licensing with local Dept of Education or some other government hell hole organization. Ask what hospitals they're under contract with. do your due diligence before you pay.

[@Effay42]

Keeping it cool in decontam... maybe.

[@muhammadaliabbas454]

kindly define High level and low level disinfect

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

Muhammad Ali Abbas before I answer this question, I'd like to first clarify the meaning of the terms "disinfection and disinfectant" . Disinfection is the process of destroying most microorganisms while disinfectant can be defined as a medium that facilitates disinfection. If these definitions are clear, then High level disinfectant is a chemical agent capable of destroying most and in some cases all microorganisms capable of sterilization if given enough time. Low level disinfectants are chemical agents that kill Some microorganisms and can not achieve sterilization. Hope this makes sense.
