My bf works 3 days a week, 11-12 hours a day max as a surgical tech. He stands all day. He has 4 day weekends and I think he should pick up a part time job but I’m afraid to tell him because he complains of being tired and sleeps all 4 days for at least 12 hours.

Is being a surgical technician truly hard to the point where 36 hours a week back to back is enough? Should he pick up another shift with a day to rest in between? I’m concerned he is not pushing himself to his fullest potential.

Hey wassup redditors I am a young man age 20 still attending college, single, no kids & recently figured out nursing really wasn’t for me for my personal reasons its too saturated for me to really take part in but luckily by the time I realized that nursing wasn’t for me I had already passed the prerequisites with good grades (A&P1,2 MATH, MICRO, PSYCH, ENG, ETC) I figured that id look into Surgical Tech would be a good fit but before I hop into it I live in NYC so the main 2 questions I have if you guys don’t mind sharing

how was schooling for it?

&

What is your salary? Like is it more than 50k?

Thank you I will be deleting this thread early in the morning tomorrow for privacy reasons

I'm a surgical tech in the Army, but have very little experience. ( Only in my training days a year ago ) I'm not stationed to a hospital so I don't do any time in the OR, only 1 month per year. I did take the CST at the end of my training but I missed by 2 points and want to retake it again because I want to go civilian and do school while working as a surgical tech. Are there any classes for preparation for the CST or do I just have to review on my own? I haven't been in the OR since training.

Is there anyone who has a great study guide for test. I'll buy it. It's been 15yrs since I graduated and even though I am grandfathered in companies still want certification. I've failed 3 times.

Hello everyone! I'm new to this group and will be starting my program next month. Does anyone have a link for which type of shoes that they used for clinicals? There's so many options online. They have to be black and leather (and preferably comfortable)

Hey guys! I’m thinking about applying to my school’s surgical tech program. I was in nursing school, but being a nurse wasn’t my cup of tea. I enjoy the medical field and it’s what I seem to be good at. I noticed I have all the basics done since I was in nursing, but I don’t know what else to do to stand out from the rest off the applications. I know I should shadow other STs. But knowing this program is more competitive, and they choose less students than the nursing program makes me have anxiety. Anyone have strong advice?

Currently enrolled in a ST course, but I'm looking into taking an EMS course also. I've always been very interested in working for EMS, I start clinicals in 12 weeks for ST, would it be wise to jump into another course so close to clinicals? The EMS course lasts about 5 weeks so I dont think it's so bad. Need some advice

Hi! I am a surgical tech student, i graduate in june and had my first 3 weeks of OR clinical before the winter break. Is it normal to feel so anxious and depressed after seeing so many palliative care cases? Is this something I will become less sensitive to as i continue into my career?

F(25)Currently enrolled in school but wanting to switch my major to surgical tech. I have tattoos on both arms and on my fingers. I’m currently in the process of getting the finger tattoos removed. By the time it came down to clinical or job interviews they would be gone. Does anyone know if I would be completely wasting my time going to school for surgical tech while having tattoos?
