Do you mail out notes?
Hi, kindly recommend schools that offer Sterile processing program
No sorry, everything is done online
Its been a while since I looked at schools and as you know things are always changing. Nonetheless, subscribe and stay tuned for a video about SPD schools in the future:)
Thank God I passed it in my first attempt. It was challenging but thank God I passed with a 95%.
Just bought your study notes! Thank you so much for what you’re doing!
You got this! make sure you follow up when you pass☺️ and DM me too, I like staying on top of the game and updating any blind spots in the study guide!
I just started self learning cause i will start my volunteer hours at the end of this month.so i just bought the iahascm book ..wish me luck
good luck
More videos, plz!!! Thank you so much!
Start classes 8/12 .. 6 Month Program. The way you described the room setup had me feeling 😅 but I’ll most definitely look into your notes . And when I hear people say the test is nothing of what you learn in the actual class.. how is it different? Guessing not too much about the tools but the environment around
them plus the chemicals and things? Great vid by the way and I’ll most definitely need a solid study technique
Can you do a video on self study options⁉️🙏🏽
@6:24 thanks for the link 🔗
Do we need a new study guide for the new/provisional exam?
Great question! There will be a pilot exam first only from June 1st-15th and once they gather the data from that (about 3 months) then they will implement the new exam starting September 10th.
But don't worry! It will still be based on the 9th edition book which my notes are taken from! Additionally, I'm committed to providing the most up-to-date content, so I will be consistently updating and tweaking the study guide with personal experience and feedback I get from you guys!
@@ThatSterileTech Sounds good, thank you!!
can you make a guide video how to start an application?
Sure! Unfortunately, right now applications are closed, but I will once they re-open!
Does the test are all the same in all states
do I need to complete 400 hrs training before taking the exma ?
will the hspa book be useful in Australia?
I’m looking into doing a program online , have you heard anything about Preppy? Or any info on a good online course?
i did mine with penn foster college and i thought it was really helpful
Would your testing material and practice exams help with someone taking the pilot exam in June? Or is your material strictly for the 8th edition exam?
Hey Ashley! So note that no ones has seen the pilot exam yet. With that being said it will be based off the newest material (9th edition book) the same textbook I tirelessly studied for over 200 hours… and after all the dust cleared… stood a smoking 27 pages of notes and 150 practice questions… lol, okay maybe it's not that intense, but basically, my prep material is based not only on the most up-to-date info but also the 2024 study outline which is used as a reference for the pilot exam. At the end of the day it will help but it's not tried and tested like current exam. Hope that helps☺️
Great video! Does doing the job of Sterile Processing Tech have an age limit.to work or take the exam. I have 2 yrs exp but I'm also 53 yrs old. Have not done the job since 2008 at Florida Hospital Orlando. Tyvm.
Not that I know of, if you have experience that's definitely going to help you get hired!
@@ThatSterileTech tyvm for the reply! I've been turned down by 2 different hospitals so far! I have 2 more out.
@brianwoods457 hope it works out for you!
Hi I just have a question does the exam for sterile processing require you to be good at math or it did not ask any math questions????
Not really any math questions, besides one about Julian dates
@05:19 😂😂
Do I need a high school or GED dagree?
Yes
I need your help can I study just the book or they have different book to study for exam. They have practice exam or website to study
I'm in Qatar
I need study material
It's possible to get it in Qatar
Oh My where to start? I finished this career at at technical school back in 2008, unfortunately the school is now closed. However it helped to get where I am now, currently working in the medical field, not Surgical tech. I am recently in school and hope to get my AAS in pre nursing, then to move towards a BS in allied health at Suny, but I will need some type of certification, and I came across to your video. Not sure if it will be worth it or maybe follow a different path....
I'd say continue your education as you are now to do something you're passionate about. However, SPD is a good stepping stone for medical experience and pays well, I know a lot of people who went from techs to preoperative nurses
@@ThatSterileTech Thank you so much !!!! your course is awesome! Very Inspirational!!! Keep up the good work Kiddo!
Tried to get the study notes but says its closed ...I couldn't purchase it
It's open now:) I closed it initially bc of the testing blackout. Then decided it's better people to have them than not, soo… I extended the duration of it that way y’all can have an edge and head start studying for when it comes back sept 10th!
I don’t know if this was talked about in the video where do I go to take this test and is do I have to take this test by a certain month or time period before a blackout
and can I take this online or do I have to take it in a facility ?
Is the $37 exam only good for 45 days?
Hello! Our $37 (for a limited time) study guide comes with an interactive online platform where you can engage with the most up-to-date content and with others by leaving comments, receiving replies, likes, and even direct messages for personalized support. Yes, the comprehensive study notes along with the exam are valid for 6 weeks, however, this is ample time to master the concepts. This expiration ensures a personalized experience and allows for the smooth transition for new enrollees so they can also receive the attention the people did before them. Lastly, you can access the content on various devices, including mobile, for your convenience.
Hello Can we download the study notes onto a phone or computer ?
No, however 6 weeks from my research is more than enough time needed to study and pass the exam
@@sweetdomo1991how to get it please let me know
Do you already have to be in the field before trying to become certified or can we do this get certified and then get the 400hrs?
@0:14
So I can study your guide. Take the exam and pass it. Then go and volunteer within six months to get my 400 hours?
Yup, but I would recommend getting the 400 hours first so you’re not in a time crunch
Hello, I am currently study for the exam and was told that I would be tested on the 8th edition versus the 9th edition. Do you have any knowledge on this? Thank you....
As of now and until May both editions work for studying for the current exam but it's best to use the 9th edition.
Hspa told me to study the 8 edition if I take it before may after may do the 9th edition. The laws changed that’s the difference in the books
Seems like they possibly want to sell out their stock of 8th edition textbooks before the price tanks lol
Is there only one version for each state?
Hi, I answered this question in my 1st video - I believe there's one version
Absolutely not there is 3 versions of this test for each state, I just passed my exam and others we all had different versions of the exam
Do you have a link to the real test to get this specific certificate? Like a link for if we wanted to do the test right now?
Also even though it says it is a crcst certificate. Will it count for being a Central Sterile Processing Technician?
What is the regular schedule as a sterile tech? how early do they work or late
depends on where you work some hospitals have 3 shifts or a 24/7 work cycle, some have 2, and if you work at a plastic surgery center or dentist office it can be 1 shift e.g. 9-5pm.
How to buy book?
