Surgical Technologist - PRN Days

As a trusted member of the operating room team, your top priority as a Surgical Technologist is a safe surgery for every patient. You’re the watchdog in the OR protecting patients from harm by maintaining a sterile environment. It’s all about preparation and anticipation, ensuring the instrumentation and equipment are 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, because you thrive on responsibility, focus on the little things, and organize like nobody’s business. And that’s what we love about you.
