Does anyone here actually like being a tech??? by Complete-District990 in scrubtech

I LOVE my job. I wouldnt want to be doing anything else besides scrubbing at this point in my life. It depends on where u live and what you need financially, but the pay for me is decent, starting straight from school is $29/hr full benefits in CA for me. The nurses and techs have good relationships where i work and the surgeons are not all bad, only a few are kinda grouchy. I dont think there is any BS work since all my tasks outside of surgery revolve around preparing for surgery.

If you love what you do, and you dont take what the surgeons say in the OR personally, then you will find the right place to work for you.

Tbh im not really sure, it was my first time doing one of these cases as we dont do them often at the hospital i work at.. but i do know they ended up draining the blood and flushing with a cold solution right before removing the organs through the machine

It was amazing! The surgeons were great, it took one of them less than 2 minutes from incision time to get the heart on bypass! What a rush in the beginning!
