You will quickly discover the lifestyle you may lead as a surgical tech can be one of flexibility and control.
The operating room is not usually run just on one shift Monday through Friday.
Surgical Tech hours, shifts, and days available to work can be incredibly flexible.

day (or night) that accommodates exactly what you need.
Aside from having flexibility with the hours and days that you work, you will also have the opportunity to advance your career after you’ve put in some time and gotten a little experience.
