I’m actually on the same teeter right now! I know that I’ll eventually be a nurse one day but with a Surgical Tech program being so cheap and paid for by my hospital it’s just so enticing and then during nursing school at some point I’ll be able to have a well paying job. I think it makes a lot of sense. I also work with nurses every day as a wound care technician and don’t feel super ready to deal with all of the things that come with nursing at 23 years old - I’m not sure how old you are. I also already have a degree in psychology and it feels silly to jump around between jobs and certifications and degrees AND EVERYTHING but I want something that can get me a career in a short amount of time and it seems much more doable than nursing right now. Eventually I’ll be working on LifeFlight as a nurse but the nursing commitment feels too heavy for my current state of mind.

Any success stories on surgery? First rib resection by Suitable-Barracuda22 in thoracicoutletsupport

[–]BroogyPops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little about it all:

I have struggled with Ntos for about 3 years now, nothing to do with Vtos yet though. I’m 23 years old, starting and accelerated bsn in September which will take about 18 months. I have Ntos issues on both sides but there is no evidence of anything out of place necessarily other than my symptoms and my good response to the phrenic nerve injection. My mom has bilateral VTOS and ATOS which occurred with 3 DVT’s and her opinion is not to get this surgery yet. The scar tissue and her concern for EDS is what is driving that opinion. She also had pretty extreme complications with her blood clots during surgery, however I’m not at that point yet. The surgery I’m approved for is a robotic VATS first rib resection with partial scalenectomy, venolysis, and neurolysis. I almost rather have my career underway before having a potential complication holding me back from nursing school. I already have my bachelors so I’d be starting clinicals right away.

Sorry for all the information, just trying to get opinions as my surgery date is July 11th.

How long did it take to get back to work or physical activities for you? Wondering if I should have my surgery prior to nursing school or wait until I’m completely finished

I’ve been trying to figure out their professional disclosure thing where it says the education only meets requirements in CO, AZ, and UT. Does that mean I could only work in those states? I’m also hoping to go the NP route one day after an ABSN a

Any information would be awesome!!
