My Career Choice Of Surgical Technician

For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to teach young children. I knew I wanted to teach preschool when I dropped my cousins off at their school. It looked so fun and

Typical working conditions for a surgical tech includes lots of bending and lifting, standing for long periods of time, being exposed to communicable diseases and unpleasant sights, odors and

Becoming a surgical technologist require a lot of dedication and tolerance, whether it's standing on your feet for hours or just simply preparing a patient for surgery. A surgical technologist is a person who helps to prepare an operating room by setting up sterile surgical instruments, equipment and supplies, such as drapes, gowns, gloves, suction tubing, and receiving solutions and medications from a circulator (jeff.org) Surgical technologist also ensure all technology used in the operating room is working properly. Although all of these jobs are very important, the most important job would be assisting the surgeon during their surgeries. Surgeries could last up to eight hours, (explorehealthcareers.org). That's

Not just to finish school, but to become a surgical technician. “Once I hit my senior year I realized I was actually good at school and enjoyed it. So going to college I learned to enjoy learning even more. I learned to enjoy the feeling of accomplishment when I do something really well in classes, and I want to take that into my career.” Natalie explained when she was asked what changed her mind about school. When she asked why she wants to be a surgical technician, she explained that she would watch surgeries all the time on television and enjoys seeing how people are changed after their

When I graduated high school I had no idea what I wanted to do, all I knew is I was done with public school and could live my life as what I thought an adult was. My father and most of my family believed it was important for me to go to college, and get a kick start with my life. Though they weren’t wrong, I had no idea what I wanted to do and no discipline to do my studies to the full extent of my abilities.

There are many reasons to become a surgical technologist, and numerous information reasons why I want to take this course. Taking this class made me see a whole other side of the profession then when I was doing my research. I have learned so much about the changes in medicine and about surgical technology itself that it’s hard for me to put in all in one paper. Through the course of this paper I will go over my own reasons to take the course, things that I personally learned over the last eight weeks, what my plans for the future are, and the different qualities that are needed in the field.

Imagine waking up from kidney surgery only to realize that there are stitches not only on your stomach, but also on your chest. Imagine the doctor coming up and having to explain to you that his surgical tech got a weak stomach and with scalpel in-hand, fell and put a puncture wound large enough for stitches on your chest. You would be shocked at the severe lack of professionalism by the surgical technologist, and you would question the hospitals inequity.

Surgical Technologists have an important role in the operation room (OR). There are different positions within the Surgical Technology field, including Scrub Surgical Technologist, Circulating Surgical Technologist, and Second Assisting Technologist. Scrub Surgical Technologists have a number of tasks, including prepping the patient for surgery, sterilizing the OR, gown and glove surgeons and assistants, and assists the surgeon and other surgical team members in a number of ways, such as passing instruments and dressing wounds. Circulating Surgical Technologists have a number of tasks as well, including checking patient’s charts, identifying patient and verifying the surgery that will be performed with consent forms, assisting anesthesia

I interned as a Medical Assistant and received my Associate’s in Applied Science Degree in Medical Assisting in December of 2015. I knew that receiving this degree was only the beginning. I thought long and hard about what I wanted to do with my life. I knew I wanted to have a better

I, Ronnishia Thomas should be selected to take part in the CLAHEC CI:Healthcare 2017 program. I should be selected because it is an exciting opportunity that I would like to take advantage of. I am a senior and I want to make sure I'm choosing the career best for me. I've been saying that I want to be an Obstetric Sonographer since the beginning of time and I'm not sure if I want to change it or not. I want to explore Radiologic Technology, Surgical Technology, Respiratory Therapy, Forensic Science, and more. One thing about me is that I love to help people. I believe that it's important to have a trait as such when wanting to pursue a career in the medical field. I think this program will benefit me because I haven't started college and this

“I began the study of medicine, impelled by a desire for knowledge of facts and of man. The resolution to do disciplined work tied me to both laboratory and clinic for a long time to come” (Jaspers , n.d.). In the past week or so, I changed the career that I wanted to pursue from being a Pediatric Anesthesiologist to being a Medical Technologist. When I first decided to become a Pediatric Anesthesiologist, I was in my junior year of high school and I was simply browsing the world wide web for a good paying job that was also helping others that are in need. Two years later and taking the college course Strategies for Success in College, I have realized that money alone cannot sustain an individual in reaching their ‘dream goal’. I needed something

The three occupations I am doing research on are: a General Pediatrician, Singer, and Surgeon. They are, in my opinion, very difficult but rewarding fields to go into.

The likely hood of me pursuing a career in the surgical field was pretty high. I enjoyed the education I received about surgical procedures when I attended dental school. I acquired a yearning for the inter-workings of the human body. Dental school was, I felt, a step in the proper direction of development. However, upon entering the operating room at the hospital, I was overtaken with a sensation of fear. I was not the one receiving an operation of any sort, but my body reacted as if it were myself going under the knife.

Personally, I aspire to teach the little ones. I believe that early childhood education is what I would enjoy best. Starting them off with a good foundation is always key in order for them to reach the next level. Now being said, because they are younger they will want to be active. From experience, I know little kids have short attention spans and tend to be very hyper. Because of this I will want to keep them moving around and I will not have them sit in their desks all day every day. I know that teaching can be a hard and frustrating job. I know that sometimes the odds might feel stacked against you, with kids not always obeying or if the class is not preforming well on tests you thought they were well prepared for. Being a teacher does not always seem

I have always wanted to be a parent. I am a newly wed and we plan to have children in the near future. I feel that I will be a great parent because I helped raise my two sisters so I have background with helping children and meeting their needs. As a future educator, I must convince students that I care. I plan to open new doors and introduce ideas that spark interest in their souls.
