Sterile processing is one of the most stressful jobs. Useless information.
Deb says
You obviously have not spent time in an SPD if you believe it is one of the least stressful jobs. Chemicals used to cl a an and sterilize, pressure from the OR to get instruments turned over. Know if the instruments work properly,
Happy to share all this job is. We support the entire hospital and are not heard about unless something goes wrong.
Casey Lierman says
Really! Constantly not turning things over fast enough for the OR…. getting phone calls from the OR to send them “ the blue drape!” Ummm… they are all blue!! We have to think fast and think for these OR staff!

I do not know where u got your information. But you are SO WRONG. We hold the life of our patients and staff in our hands. While putting ours at risk.
There are other jobs that are more stressful but our job is not some cake walk.
Why do you need to know says
Idk what sterile processing you interviewed, but your information is incorrect 🙄🙅🏼♀️
