Hello everyone…I am a CST. I graduated August 2021. I wanted to tell everyone while doing the surgical tech program…I worked full time. It was NOT easy! My job allowed me to study on my downtime and thank goodness I had a lot of downtime! I wouldn’t have passed otherwise. I worked 3-11pm and had to be at class by 8am. On clinical days I was up at 5am and was at the hospital by 6:45am-3pm THEN worked 3-11pm at my job (as an aide in assisted living). I was VERY disciplined! I didn’t do anything other than study. Nope…no social life. I got very little sleep too. But I did it! I made it work. I graduated top of my class and passed the national board. If you have any questions for me, feel free to leave them❤.

@@MzSeptember Your welcome☺️. I was on autopilot while balancing school, work and clinical. I literally use to get only 4 hours of sleep! It was like a nap really (oddly your body gets used to it. I knew it would be temporary). At one point, I believe I was taking 5 classes at once. BTW…I had all my prerequisites done prior to the surgical tech classes. Highly recommend!!!

I've always been drawn to STEM, technical, and first and foremost, healing professions, however did not pursue them for either of my undergraduate degrees. I'm particularly drawn to the anatomy and physiology core, and also the proximity to life and death and the opportunity to alleviate major suffering.

I'd say call the employer you're looking to work for and if they accept your certification. Some care some don't, but the CAAHEP is most recognized by all employers. Although lately I've seen some positions that will aceept the Ncct certification.

There's a vaccine for hepc. But obviously you need to be very careful. You're dealing with sharps. I keep an eye on all my sharpest all times.

Hello! I would like to pursue this after extensive research and watching your videos. I have background in nursing prerequisites but never finished. I now manage an Oral Surgery office but I’d really like to get back to hands on medical field work. HOWEVER, I am a mama and I need to keep working. In your opinion, is it really do-able for my situation and is it worth it all? Thank you!! 😊

I’m wanting to expand my training & begin to work in the surgical setting before applying to medical schools in a few years (just got my B. S. in premed biology) as I am highly interested in and passionate about neurosurgery. What are your thoughts? I’d love to be a CSFA for a while and go back for my MD later if I’m not fulfilled

Hi, you are an inspiration to me , I am switching programs and going to start surg tech next month, I am a little nervous about anatomy , I am currently in DA program and am learning the head and neck anatomy for radiographs, I kind of have an idea of what to expect for anatomy , also I saw that psychology is part of the program at my school

These classes aren't something that needs to be stressed on. It's all memorization. Repetion. You won't use it as much in the field. Trust me idk all instruments. U learn em all in clinicals and on thr job training.
