Any surgical techs running around DU?

[BlondieK143]

With my current job being not so current anymore, I'm looking into options for school and what direction I'd like to take my life. I've found a surgical tech position in a local hospital with paid schooling, but I know nothing about being one. Can anyone help? :)

1. Here's a description of what they do...

I don't know what kind of training is needed, though.

2. Thanks for the link!

I think I read quite a bit of that from another website, but there were a few things I didn't know. :)

3. Sounds like the most important thing you would need

is a strong stomach. Good luck in your job hunt! :)

4. Thank you!

I appreciate it!

Not sure how the whole strong stomach thing will do, but I've got to give it a chance.

5. You'll do fine!

I've known folks that would faint at the sight of blood get used to the grossest stuff. :)
