With IHC if you work 24 hours, you qualify for health care. Another perk is
that you know doctors, you can just text them and ask questions. Some
places have employee clinics on site, which make it very convenient.
You have skills that come in handy and save time and money. Lynae had a
friend who took expired suture home and kept it in her first aid kit to keep on
hand with her four boys. This saved her visits to the ER. Other techs have
been able to get surgeons to donate their time, or help with charity causes.
Just learn as much as you can, be open-minded, and be positive.
Analysis of Surgical Technologist as my Career Choice
As I interviewed Lynae, I was excited and amazed at all the wonderful things
she was able to see each day. My interest was piqued as she spoke about
specific surgeries that shed been able to be a part of. I was glad that she
was able to find ways to work in this career, and still be a present mother to
her four girls. This really reassured me, because as much as I want a career, I
want my family more. I worry a little about the intensity of the schooling Ill
go through, but I think it will be attainable, considering that its not a very
long program. I also feel reassured because Ive had some OR experience in
high school as I helped with surgical procedures in Vet Tech. I know it will be
different with humans, but I feel like I have an idea of what to expect.
Overall, I feel comfortable and like this will be a good career choice for me
and my family.
Analysis of my Interview Process
I was very nervous about the interview, I dont like meeting new people,
especially in formal settings when I feel the need to impress. I find it difficult
to feel professional with how young I am. I think, in the future I could help
remedy this by being better prepared, and maybe practicing the interview
questions out loud before the interview so I feel more confidant and am more
aware of the format and outline I want to follow. I also found myself saying
ok too much. I was trying to be engaged and express my genuine interest,
but as I listened to my interview later, I worry that I may have sounded
insincere. This is just something I think Ill need to practice more until I feel
more comfortable talking to strangers.
I feel that overall the interview went fairly well. Lynae seemed excited to talk
with me, and was glad to help out, as she did this same assignment a few
years ago. I think this level of understanding and similarity helped her be
able to overlook my nervousness and helped me feel more at ease. We were
able to laugh and relate, and she was very talkative, but stayed on topic
really well. I learned a lot from her.
