What surprise was that you might have shaved patients where they have to get surgery at.

Surgical Tech hours, shifts, and days available to work can be incredibly flexible. Some hospitals staff three shifts 24/7 while others work on a "call" basis after the main shift is finished. A normal work week for the operating room and most surgical techs, not including "call" or shift rotation, is Monday - Friday. The shifts available and days worked for the surgical tech will vary depending on the type of hospital or facility you decide to work in. Becoming a surgical tech greatly increases your chances of working a schedule during the day (or night) that accommodates exactly what you need. You will quickly discover the lifestyle you may lead as a surgical tech can be one of flexibility and control.

Essay:
A typical scenario experienced by many operating room technicians is having to stand for long periods of time, especially when a surgical procedure is going on. "There is always a great deal of pressure and stress in the shoulders of OR techs and they must be able to handle or manage them properly so that it does not affect their quality of work(Edwards, 2008)". OR technologists must have a keen eye for details and be thorough when it comes to accomplishing their duties and responsibilities. "As an operating room technologist, you also have to be prepared to be in the midst of unpleasant and stressful scenarios and experiences(Elvis, 2011)". It is not uncommon for you to be witnessing the sight of blood and organs during an operation and you have to be able to stomach all of this if you are to take on the role of a surgical technologist. During emergency situations, you must also be able to demonstrate calm and effective responses. Since you will be working with a team during an operation, you must also have the capability to work well with others and be able to follow instructions carefully.  Good communication skills will therefore be beneficial for any candidate of this occupation. While you are in the operating room, it is possible that you will be performing multiple tasks at the same time; therefore you must have excellent presence of mind and be well-adapted to multi-tasking. Operating room technicians must also have good memory especially when they need to track surgical supplies mentally. The ability to make appropriate decisions at critical times is also needed of any OR technologist.
