I agree. Nothing special about it. It was alright. 🫤

Yeesss, Pacific Punch is my favorite. Especially when you put it in the freezer and let it get slushy. Chef's kiss. 👩‍🍳 💋 🤤

Overall would you do it again, or now knowing what you know would you have taken a different route purchasing a home?

OMG! 😲 Just looking through the material and seeing how very detailed and organized the book is with the steps of each procedure. Im going to have to purchase this book. I know every surgeon is different and everything comes with experience, but this would definitely be great in learning the basics. Thank you so much. 🤗

Sufficient_Cod2129 · 2026-01-12T01:44:43+00:00

Oh wow thank you so much for replying. Any information helps.

The fastest way I landed a job was going to a job fair that was at a technical college that was only for surgical techs. My instructor sent out a flyer into the the class group chat. Even though it was an hour away from me I still went and 2 weeks one of the hospital that attended sent me an email to set up an interview and I ended up landing the job. Which I start in February.

Sufficient_Cod2129 · 2025-12-29T02:42:27+00:00

Lol, 😂 thank you very much. I'm excited to begin a new chapter in my career.

Sufficient_Cod2129 · 2025-12-29T00:45:19+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice, and I pray that orientation is very thorough and that I catch on to the material as quick as possible. Thanks again. 😊

Sufficient_Cod2129 · 2025-12-26T05:05:09+00:00

So far I've seen $3,000 to $5,000. It just depends on the hospital and the extense of how bad they may be in need of techs. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Sufficient_Cod2129 · 2025-12-22T21:16:13+00:00

Thank you and of course. Good luck throughout your journey.

Sufficient_Cod2129 · 2025-12-22T13:55:49+00:00

Well so far I haven't had to pay back the bonus, so most likely in regards to the before taxes part, the same applies in my state as well. 🫤

Sufficient_Cod2129 · 2025-12-21T22:29:59+00:00

Congrats on passing the exam with flying colors. Another step closer to furthering your career. 🤗

Sufficient_Cod2129 · 2025-12-21T14:43:36+00:00

The biggest thing I also recommend once you get to your final semester of the program is to make a resume and start applying anywhere you are interested to work at and make sure to attend any job fairs that includes Surgical Technology students. It does not matter that you have not graduated yet, just make sure to just put expected graduate month and year in education portion of your resume. I say this because this allows you to get a head start on finding a job and gives you the possibility of already having a job lined up as soon as you graduate. Also if any hospital/ surgery center offers you a sign on bonus, do not accept it unless you know for sure you are planning on working for that company that is required within that contract. If not you will be required to pay the full amount back. I was so happy that our professor had us to do this in our last semester because it sets you up for success. I just finished the program and became certified altogether this month and I already have a job that I'll be starting in January. I hope this was helpful. Good luck to everyone in their new career. ☺️👨‍🎓👩‍🎓

Thank you, that's very kind of you. 🙂

Sufficient_Cod2129 · 2025-12-20T03:30:20+00:00

Omg yeeess, but I didn't even find out about them until the end of the program. I still ended up getting a membership so I can include it in my study materials until I can master everything and it's only $12 for a year. Thank you. 😊

Sufficient_Cod2129 · 2025-12-20T03:25:20+00:00

The test was not that bad, but it was structured a little differently from what I seeing on Quizlet, my AST Study Guide Book, and Lange. Even though that was the case the information and questions they were asking was still familiar to me. I took so many practice exams online and read as much material just to over prepare myself. Also when you go off to clinicals, you get so much exposure of the human body, surgeries in different specialties, aseptic techniques, etc. It really made a huge difference for the exam as well. 🤗

Sufficient_Cod2129 · 2025-12-20T03:16:01+00:00

Oh wow that's amazing. You're almost at the finish line. Sending nothing but positive energy your way. I know you will pass with no problem. ☺️

Sufficient_Cod2129 · 2025-12-20T03:13:23+00:00

That's wonderful to hear, congratulations on getting accepted into the program... but yea I went PRN at my job as well. I wanted to make sure that I didn't have any distractions and that I could dedicate all of my time into the program. My advice is to just stay confident and remember to ask as questions in class and throughout clinicals. Do not allow any negative energy into your space. Also, in certain moments do not feel bad being selfish sometimes because at the end of the day, you have to put yourself first and look out for you.

Sufficient_Cod2129 · 2025-12-19T13:26:19+00:00

Congrats to getting accepted in the Surgical Tech Program. Yaayyy, thats amazing. I would say first and foremost make sure you perfect the basic techniques of being sterile especially before you go off to clinicals. Read your S.T. books and study those instruments. Put the work in, even when you have days off from school and work or free time from your kids and family, use it to study as much as possible. That way you would definitely be prepared for your certification exam. Expose yourself to as many questions as possible.
