- In this video, I spoke with Nancy-a surgical technologist aka surgical tech about her job and what all it requires!
WHAT IS A SURGICAL TECHNOLOGIST?
Surgical technologists are members of operating room teams, which include the surgeon(s), anesthesiologist and circulating nurse. Surgical technologists work under the supervision of the surgeon. Before an operation, they help prepare the operating room by setting up sterile surgical instruments, equipment and supplies, such as drapes, gowns, gloves, suction tubing, and receiving solutions and medications from the circulator. Surgical technologists assemble the sterile equipment, check to ensure it is all working properly and make adjustments as necessary.
They assist the surgeon with putting on his/her gown and gloves, as well as assisting the surgeon in placing the sterile drapes on the patient to create the sterile field.
During the surgical procedure, the surgical technologist is responsible for anticipating the needs of the surgeon by passing instruments and providing needed supplies such as sponges, performing counts of the instruments and sharps, providing solutions and medications to the surgeon, receiving tissue specimens to be passed off to the circulator and ensuring there are no breaks in sterile technique in order to prevent the patient from acquiring a surgical site infection.

how do I put surgical gloves over the surgical gown cuffs for surgeon costume
As a freshmen pre med is it advisable for me to enter this field?
As a freshman in college can i take biology, chemistry, and nursing and still enter this field?
Mam i have done adp surgical program can i get job in uk
what's the annual salary for this career and what training schools would be great if I'm in California?
Hi, Im not sure what schools they have for this in California but a google search may bring up several. Also, check out this website here for salary. Its around $40-$50,000/year www1.salary.com/Surgical-Technologist-Salary.html
go to the CAAHEP website and they have the information about the schools with links so you can easily find out specifics of the school.
The big pay comes from traveling or if you are a heart or trauma surgical tech.
@@coffeepandacat here in los angles they pay 20 -30 a hour not bad
@@zuezsz thats amazing
Do you need college?
So my friend is a surgical tech in a hospital in california.
She has been written up three times for attendance now by a supervisor who does not like her at all, twice because she had to have actual surgery and needed time off and the first time because of a silly misunderstanding.
So she just had surgery couple days ago and has called in not able to work, supervisor wrote her up and now HR sent a message saying she was on an adminastrive leave and they'd contact her next week?
Can they just fire her?
What should she do?
Does she have any rights?
I know you left this comment a year ago but if she's in a union then she can call her union delegate
I know you posted a year ago, but that seems like a Reddit question. That is a bit too specific and complicated for a career choice video on CZcams that does not talk about that at all
@@Bryanpena270 true. I wasn't that familiar with reddit at the time and just wanted advice quickly. It's fine now she found other jobs but still sucks
Maybe she could not be shitty?
thats my job! :D
do you enjoy it? What do you like best and worst?
It’s longer than a year to be a surgical technologist, year and half to two years
Its 2 years in total
It depends
Its actually much shorter than 2 year but it is an associates degree just depends on what school youre in, surgical tech class are very short compared to 2 year degrees.
Theyre also dont have license to protect you from malpractice, youre going to prison when you forgot some stuff and like accidentally leave it on the patient insides.
@@apdroidgeek1737 Where did you hear that?
Bro if this is 2 years I’m friggin doing it
Are you guys mean to the techs, one of the program requirements are able to take insults from doctors which i thought was hilarious and weird but tbh i honestly understand since life and death is on the table.
I have never been insulted by a surgeon but I have definitely had surgeons be verbally aggressive and frustrated. If that happens, most apologize afterward. It’s a stressful situation for surgeons sometimes
