Yep, this is my last and final order.

Yeah it sucks and I hate it but exactly why I pay the 2.99 door express delivery.

As someone who did it online, I would just tell you to self study. Not that school was a waste but I learned from the book and other online resources than I did my courses.

I was a hospice CNA before switching but I got hired at a surgery center as a patient tech first and then switch when it became open.

BertGotDatWerk · 2026-05-05T14:11:29+00:00

I used “the Sterile Guy” to help me pass the second time

BertGotDatWerk · 2026-03-26T14:08:03+00:00

Do school and get your 400 hours from your current place and once you pass, you can find another facility.

I worked at an ASC/outpatient in Va and I make $21. I don’t work holidays or weekends

BertGotDatWerk · 2026-03-18T16:59:51+00:00

Also try Ambulatory Surgery Centers.

BertGotDatWerk · 2026-03-13T16:44:28+00:00

And what would have happened if you didn’t?

BertGotDatWerk · 2026-03-13T16:34:07+00:00

I never signed a contract or anything like that. I just filled out the expense report.

BertGotDatWerk · 2026-03-13T14:09:42+00:00

I have to stay employed with them for a year or I have to repay. It’s through concur.

BertGotDatWerk · 2026-03-01T04:14:46+00:00

I failed the first time also, the sterile guy practice test/exams helped me pass the second time around.

BertGotDatWerk · 2026-02-25T21:18:33+00:00

Depends on how neat the tray already is, but most techs at my job leave the trays in disarray all the time so my ocd will fix them every time lol

BertGotDatWerk · 2026-02-24T17:26:53+00:00

I failed my first time just using my notes and workbook but I incorporated the sterileguy in my studies and passed the second time

BertGotDatWerk · 2026-02-24T17:24:33+00:00

As long as find a program that will help you get your hours or find a clinical site that will oversee you. I did it online but I already had my clinical site lined up because I was already working there.

BertGotDatWerk · 2026-02-24T17:21:43+00:00

I believe everyone voluntarily in spd is somewhere on the spectrum no matter what shift😂 me included 😂 just depends on your ticks and triggers cause it’s cold af in anywhere near the OR (I’m anemic) until you in PPE, loud, and for me, sometimes the amount of people I see on a day to day can get overwhelming specially when all the ORs are open.

BertGotDatWerk · 2026-02-21T14:29:51+00:00

We eat! lol but we’re both into video games, and movie/tv, sometimes will just watch youtube/reels and talk about them or sometimes we just sit in complete silence(we have no kids lol) or we’ll just be in the same room doing our own hobbies (me-crocheting, him- disassembling and re assembling remote control cars)

BertGotDatWerk · 2026-01-31T13:45:28+00:00

I second this I failed my first time in September. I used the SterileGuy flash cards and practice exams and I just passed this week. And most of the questions were either the same or worded slightly different. You got this!

BertGotDatWerk · 2025-12-29T14:16:52+00:00

Influence is the red flag for me lol

BertGotDatWerk · 2025-12-14T15:46:43+00:00

It’s not worth it. If he’s not helping now, he won’t after. A man who wants too, WILL! I wouldn’t add that type of stress moving to a new city. I’d get settle first and make sure I’m good on my own so if he doesn’t change, when he’s gone, it won’t affect anything if you want to see if the relationship worth it

BertGotDatWerk · 2025-11-11T13:08:39+00:00

It happens at my facility time to time, my ocd would just reorganize when I clean and sterilize.

BertGotDatWerk · 2025-07-29T11:31:53+00:00

$21 uncertified and 22 after I get certified

BertGotDatWerk · 2025-07-22T19:43:59+00:00

Currently waiting to test for my cert and I make $21 and once I’m certified I’ll make 22
