Operating Room Technician
Duties and responsibilities:
Operating room technicians are also called surgical technicians or surgical technologists. They prepare operating rooms for surgery. They are responsible for having surgical instruments, and all the equipment necessary ready for the operation. They may also assist doctors by handing them needed instruments during surgery. They deliver specimens to hospital laboratories for analysis, and take patients to the recovery room after the surgery.
Average Salary: $16,000 - $22,000
Educational Requirements:
A high school diploma or GED certificate is required. Many vocational and junior colleges offer programs in operating room technology, and training may also be taken at large hospitals. 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.
I don't want to be an operating room technician because i don't like to see a lot of blood. I am too nervous so i think i would not be able to see someone risking his or her life. I think that career is a good oportunity to learn the names of the useful tools that are necessary to make any surgery.
