So its basically a Dish Washer job?
@2thang2Ай бұрын
Sterile processing is more than just a dish washer job. It involves the decontamination, sterilization, and maintenance of medical instruments and equipment used in healthcare settings. Sterile processing technicians play a critical role in ensuring that medical instruments are safe and ready for patient use. It requires specific knowledge of sterilization techniques, infection control, and proper handling of medical equipment. So it's a crucial and specialized role in healthcare that goes beyond just washing dishes 😊

With this job? Yes absolutely! My coworker currently works 4 10’s and he says he loves his shift. Majority of hospitals are definitely capable of “creating” a shift for you as long as it is consistent and manageable by the department’s needs. Especially if the hospital is 24 hours.

@@vaporhazy I would say that drama in sterile processing (or any job) is inevitable. It depends on your coworkers and how you handle the drama yourself. For me personally I like to be cool with everyone and treat everyone the same, meaning no favoritism or only talking to certain people. I talk to everyone, and I think it’s safe to say that my coworkers like me. We hangout outside from work, our kids play together and when we’re at work we joke around and help each other. So I don’t deal with any drama (at least for now lol) but yeah I would say if you do decide to come into sterile processing you should come out as friendly and you should be good.

thanks for the video! I'm making the jump from veterinary medicine to SP and I'm trying not to wig myself out about it. Vet med is pretty informal when it comes to reprocessing equipment, but it's an area I always took pride in. Getting to wrap the packs was a moment of solace for me. I'm about halfway through a prep course for the exam... it's a lot but I think I can do it. Out of curiosity, is this a field that tends to churn through a lot of staff? The turnover in vet med is astronomical- people come in bright eyed and bushy tailed, then two months later they're gone without a trace. You don't see many assistants or techs still working the floor past their 20s. Whether or not SP is the same won't have any bearing on my going into it, I'm just nosy.

As for turnover in the field, it depends every workplace is different, I can tell you that sterile processing is a crucial part of healthcare, and skilled professionals are always in demand. It's a field where attention to detail and dedication are highly valued. So if you're passionate about it and willing to put in the effort, I'm confident you'll find success and fulfillment in your new career. Keep up the great work with your prep course for the exam!
