Over the past year there has been a lot of increased emphasis and attention placed on pre-cleaning surgical instruments at the point of use prior to transport to sterile reprocessing. Joint Commission then conducts their surveys/audits based on the standards that have been set for sterile processing activities. Section 7.3
There was a considerable amount of on-the-job training which included patient care, instrument sterilization, draping procedures, instrumentation and sutures. But, I will say that I never forgot what that tech said to me; this one comment affected my whole career in the operating room.
This is the group of scrub techs and nurses that I worked with for the week. Honestly, I don’t know what I was even expecting, but what I saw was a well-organized surgical department with shelf after shelf of instrument trays and sterile supplies. This was a great group of people! Inside, I was a stressed-out, hot mess.
I frequently attend nursing conferences, including AORN, OR Manager, and AORN Chapter Conferences. Nursing Conferences = Education This conference offered 2 educational sessions on Friday night, and then an entire day of sessions on Saturday. This year, the conference was approved for Nursing, SurgicalTech, AND Sterile Processing CEs!
