Thank you 😇 I want to be a surgical tech in Houston🤗
Thanks for all of the advice! I had some questions for ya if you had time to answer them. Your videos are really nice that their current and you explain up to date things and nice job making it to be a surgical tech even thought it sounds like it’s been 3 years. I was wondering if you think a for profit college that costs 42,000 would be worth going to that lasts 1.5 years? Or what other things you would suggest or thing are better certificates or schools to go to? I’m in Oregon and although the pay can be better than a lot of states the school for things are soooo expensive. Thanks for any advice I’ll watch more of your videos. Thank you!
Are you going to school to be a surgical assistant? Or tech?
Hi! Thank you so much for your videos! Do you have any idea about agencies for non travelers?
Please share tips on how to get started and where to go?
@@CrafttKing check out my first CZcams video
How long did you work as a certified surgical technologist, before you became a CSFA? How long have you been a CSFA ? Why would you travel in North Dakota, of all states ? Do you live in North Dakota ? What is your home state ? How exactly do you go about specializing in a certain area, like orthopedics, as a CSFA ?
@@cynthiawilliams6435 I was not a surgical tech before. I’ve been certified since 2019. The reason I chose North Dakota is because it was a really good pay package. I got my experience in different through my full time job before starting to travel. I was able to go general, plastics, ortho and OB
I wanted to know how long did it take you to feel comfortable with cases before deciding to travel. Do you have to learn ALL cases or just specialize in certain ones?
I started traveling 1.5 year of working and being certified. I felt comfortable traveling with what I knew. So travel agencies make you fill out competency checklists and you also fill out what specialties you’re comfortable doing. You have to be honest with what you know. And some job postings have the specialties listed on their like orthopedic/spine, plastics, etc. some are strictly CVOR so I will not apply to them. I’ve actually done neuro and cardiac surgery even though I have no experience. The surgeon was aware and I felt confident in my skills and it went fine. You can choose to specialize if you want.

Hello, I am a new student still in theory for surgical technology. I don't start clinicals for another 6 months. Do you have any advice you can share that would have helped you when you first started please? For context I live in California and I worked as a healthcare recruiter before I decided to start surgical tech school.
Hi! I’m actually a surgical tech student two weeks away from taking the national exam and if I could go back to before I first started clinicals, I would’ve tried to learn as many of the instruments as I could, as well as the anatomy of each speciality because that would’ve really really helped me when learning the cases in class and in clinical. Hope this helps! 🫶🏼
@brendajaimes101 hello! Thank you for the advice. It's much appreciated. 😊 I hope you pass the national exam!
@@Eaon69 I am not a surgical tech and didn’t go through a surgical tech program. I’m sure some curriculum is the same but for the most part, I would suggest showing up with a positive attitude and learning as much as you can
