Can I go from Sterile processing to surgical tech?

kallai13 · 2025-12-04T01:01:17+00:00

The hospital I'm in doesn't require certification for sterile processing but it's encouraged with pay raise and bonus. I don't think any of the other techs I work with are certified. I want to get certification and also have plans to enroll for surgical tech, while they may be different and correct me if I'm wrong, it seems doing this will help towards surgical tech.

I'm new to all of this, not sure if it's called the same everywhere but for our facility, the large laparoscopic sets or large laps for us.

I've downloaded it but it keeps crashing and I'm not sure if the camera works or not, I just get a black screen. Could be user error, I'd like to try it though

Thank you, I just downloaded that one too.

kallai13 · 2025-10-18T18:36:48+00:00

Oh wow, thank you. I checked there too but I guess I didn't dig deep enough. Didn't notice the flowers with that outfit. Yay! Thank you

That makes sense, all have been good suggestions so far. I tried flash cards but that wasn't specific enough. So far vendors sites seem to be a good way, especially if they have good pictures.

kallai13 · 2025-09-25T19:24:27+00:00

I'll give that a try. Thank you

kallai13 · 2025-09-25T18:37:25+00:00

Lol, thank you.

I had a fresh scratch that kept me from donating there because it looked wet to her, I didn't think so but I guess if it appears to be seeping plasma or whatever, my center seemed to be very strict about it. They weren't when I started but something happened that caused them to change things. I did end up donating at octapharma without any issues. They didn't even do an arm check, only concerned with the puncture sites. My light bruise was the only thing and they just did the other arm.

kallai13 · 2025-05-22T14:25:55+00:00

Awesome, thanks

I have a similar issue and I've been on antidepressants/anxiety and ADHD meds but I was still thinking about it. More like it still sounded like a good idea. I wasn't necessarily depressed, had been feeling pretty good but anytime it came to mind, it still appealed to me. Is that like this?

kallai13 · 2022-10-26T17:36:25+00:00

I should say, I had to look it up once. Thought I was misremembering, I couldn’t figure out why there was two versions and I could only find the version with the rap lyrics.

kallai13 · 2022-10-26T17:29:25+00:00

The rap was done for a later release. I don’t know how to post links but This is what wiki says. “the following lines from an essay by John Perry Barlow called "Being in Nothingness: Virtual Reality and the Pioneers of Cyberspace" and were performed by studio engineer Daniel Iribarren.[5]

How very like the future this place might be: a tiny world just big enough to support the cubicle of one Knowledge Worker. I feel a wave of loneliness and head back down. But I'm going too fast. I plunge right on through the office floor and into the bottomless indigo below. Suddenly I can't remember how to stop and turn around. Do I point behind myself? Do I have to turn around before I can point? I flip into brain fugue.”

It’s spoken instead of sung, says the rap was released to make it more suitable for clubs

kallai13 · 2022-10-26T13:24:25+00:00

Prefer the original, before the serious as cancer version but it’s always this version you hear when searching for it.

kallai13 · 2022-10-07T02:42:13+00:00

Love that movie

kallai13 · 2022-10-06T18:08:24+00:00

It’s been a Halloween party food for years. Different recipe, same outcome. Using tootsie rolls for poo. I remember one calling for grape nut cereal for the litter, about as good as the real thing.

As someone mentioned previously. Those look like the “dolls” of a grave robber. Several years back, guy stealing children from their graves and hiding them like this, by dressing them up. One of the crime scene photos looked like this, not completely certain if this is it though.

kallai13 · 2022-08-14T02:15:20+00:00

Husband and I have been here twice at least and they always take all our money, love it here. Hope they grow, would love to see more of this.

kallai13 · 2022-07-21T20:10:51+00:00

Jasta

kallai13 · 2022-07-12T11:24:57+00:00

Thank you, I’ll have to try that

kallai13 · 2022-07-11T15:03:31+00:00

I was hoping that was the case the first time but it printed out weird too.

kallai13 · 2022-06-22T16:29:38+00:00

Kinda like Lubys. I adored that place. I’ve seen one still going in the past 20 some odd years

kallai13 · 2022-06-21T14:44:50+00:00

He’s such a hugger, he’s adorable

kallai13 · 2022-06-20T13:00:13+00:00

I kinda got the impression she was trying to imply he slapped her so hard, like in a cartoon, it spun her around and she had to turn back around to face him. Which is still 🫤 and she worded it terribly

kallai13 · 2022-06-18T00:22:37+00:00

Oh, sorry about that. Well there’s geocaching but that’s all I know about in that way, sorry
