Essay:
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.
