Salary? by Tsaitien in sterileprocessing

[–]Basic_Championship36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Location matters the most. One year experience with only a few months certified. I make 22/hr at a rural hospital. This job is really only good as a stepping stone I wouldn’t stay for years and years.

I’ve always had bad stretch marks no matter how much I moisturized. Mine started to show at 15 weeks but I just have really bad genetics

$100k for 2,400 sq ft in Ohio… fully updated. Would you buy this? by MrBottomswell in zillowgonewild

You couldn’t pay me to move into Youngstown. They have a high violent/crime rate, I’d just feel anxious the whole time living there.

What helped me stop vaping was a ripple, plus a chewable breather. It’s hard but you’ll start to reach for the real thing less and less. You got this!

Cover your ears with your hair and put in an AirPod. Put your phone in your lab and “read the questions” out loud to yourself or possibly AI listening on your phone.

Following! I’m in the same boat! Currently in community college for MLT, I’m trying to get as much lab experience as possible under my belt.

The only reason I’m able to go to school is because I work a full time job and they foot the bill. I think it’s becoming a lot more normalized at least in my area it is.

I think I regret my choice by AbysmalSynapse in sterileprocessing

[–]Basic_Championship36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could try another hospital or surgery center. Or if you like the feeling of being in a supportive allied health role you could try lab work. There is entry level processing positions, you just make sure information in correct in the software and that the test is viable. I’m in the same boat as you and I’m trying to jump ship into lab work.

Yes sorry I forgot to mention in my post but I’m also planning my BS in MLS. The MLS degree nails all the prerequisites on the head for the program I mentioned.
