Surgical Technologist - L&D
Your job is more than a job. As a trusted member of the Labor & Delivery team, your top priority as a Surgical Technologist is a safe surgery for every patient. You're the watchdog in the room protecting patients from harm by maintaining a sterile environment. It's all about preparation and anticipation, ensuring the instrumentation and equipment is there when the surgeon needs it. As a Surgical Tech, you're an extra pair of hands when needed, passing out surgical instruments, positioning the patient, or sometimes, holding retractors if the surgeon asks. Stress? Not a problem, you say, because you thrive on responsibility, focus on the little things, and organize like nobody's business.
