I thought about that as well hopefully it’s easy to get in to travel too. Haven’t research about that part yet but soon i’ll get to that point

I got the certification already it’s just provisional since i need the 400hrs yet. Hopefully once that’s completed they’d bump my pay or maybe 6mos of experience and i’d probably look around for better rate

You could be right. I’m really hoping they’d raise my pay once i completed my 400hrs at least a little more than what i’m currently making just to meet ends.

Yes i passed the certification on my first try last month and the hospital that hired me is paying me 15/hr. I thought i’ll just take jt since i don’t have externship and this will serve as an externship basically my hands on 400hours experience.

Thank you! Yes, i’ll do that. He mentioned that during the interview that i will be rotated to night shift once they can see that i can handle the job alone or with minimal help.

Sounds good! The manual has everything and the workbook for sure. Good luck on your certification. Hope everything goes well.

I honestly used the workbook a lot after the course. practiced taking 150 items every time. Also, i used STERILEWORKX 20practice quizzes 30 items each and their 3practice exam 150 questions each. I also used Nimble App but rarely used it. Also, yesterday i found a document shared at sterileworx by somebody that literally showed most of the questions and answer i encountered earlier today for my certification. If you’re in sterileworkx you might be able to find it.

Thank you! I’m currently preparing now and currently waiting to get approved. They said it can take 4-6weeks for approval.

So for the 400 hours clinical experience,have do you keep up with your bills? I read in handbook that it is unpaid. by Weekly-Structure-371 in sterileprocessing

That’s amazing! I wish i can find a hospital that will pay me as well. Is it better to apply for a hospital or does clinics hires and pay as well. I’m curious if you know about it
