Is it possible to grow from SPT to ST?
I’m interested in becoming a Surgical Technologist, but unfortunately, there aren’t any affordable programs in my area. I’ve heard that some hospitals offer tuition assistance or career advancement programs for employees who start as Sterile Processing Technicians (SPTs). I’d love to know if that’s true and if you or someone you know has taken that path. How long did it take? Thanks in advance!

What are the most important traits for a successful surgeon to have?
I shadowed a surgeon about a month ago and loved my experience! I got to scrub in and see many different surgeries and I handled a removed gallbladder and thyroid. It was an exhilarating day and I have been more and more interested in surgery the more I learn about it. I have been told before that I have what it takes to be a surgeon but I want outside opinions on what it takes to be a successful surgeon. #registered-nurses #surgery #surgeon #general-surgery #cardiac-surgeon #cardiothoracic #anesthetist #scrub-nurse
