Operating Room Technician
Duties and Responsibilities:
Operating
room technicians are also called surgical technologist or surgical
technologist. They assist in preparing operating rooms. They are responsible
for having surgical tools, bandages, linens, needed fluids, and other equipment
ready for the operation. They also help doctors by handing them equipment for
doing surgery. They deliver specimens to hospital laboratories for analysis.
Average Salary: $16,000 - $22,000
Educational Requirements:
A high
school diploma or GED certificate is required.
Many colleges offer programs in operating room technology, and training
may also be taken at large hospitals.
Programs vary one year to two years.
Students receive training in medical terminology, physiology, and
sterilization methods. At the end of the
training period students must pass an examination by the Association of
Surgical Technologists to become certified.
Reflection: I wouldn't want to be an operating
room technician because I don’t have steady hands and I’m also very indecisive
when it comes to getting a job done.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
