I would like to know as much about the surgical tech field as possible. I have a friend who is a CST/FA who is a company rep for Smith Nephew.

Needing inspiration!

Come on you surgical techs!!! I am flailing here in my burn-out! It is time for a change. Let's unite-let's demand compensation for being certified. All hospitals require it, yet if one is not certified, they still hire. Compensate the certified surgical technologists! If we want the same recognition, and repect as a profession--look to RN's. They are compensated for being CNOR certified. We are not lower then the RN in Surgery-so let's start expecting more! I mean NO disrespect toward any surgi… Continue

WHAT IS ACCREDITATION?
