Thank you I suppose lol

[@JonathanB822]

So funny to hear that places don't count things like the cartridges for staplers and the q-tip for trocars and things like that. I'm only in clinicals right now but at my site we count everything like that and have it on a big board so everyone can see.

It’s amazing to see how different places can be even instrument names!

Thanks I'd love to see more of these

[@TheSurgicalGuru]

You’re welcome and I’ll definitely be making more!

How long is the program ?

[@IWAHProsper]

What’s your opinion on online surgical tech programs?

[@TheSurgicalGuru]

It depends if you’re able to get some time to practice in the labs. It ultimately depends if the program is accredited and you can get a job after you graduate that is what’s most important to me.

If you dont travel how much can you expect to make a year?

[@elizaann1460]

I’m considering traveling, how do you handle transportation?

[@TheSurgicalGuru]

It depends on how far I’m traveling. I don’t mind driving. I’m not sure if that’s an option for you but anything over 10 hours I typically book a flight. Your travel agency will also reimburse you for travel expenses just gotta ask them.
