Excuse me for budding in here but I have to comment. What a scrub school you went to where you have 2 years of clinicals in the OR!!! I recently finished scrub school and we had about 2 weeks lab, then extern for 2 months. The rest was book, this was 9 month program at a tech school. I can totally understand why some tech's have a bad reputation from what I saw at my school. We had terrible teachers ("this is where your piss comes out"), skipped or skimmed many chapters, many open book tests, there was cheating en mass and more I'd just like to forget. Not all were this bad but its sad to say that many were. I'm glad you learned so much but it was very different for me. I'm headed to nursing school as soon as possible. I'm hoping and praying nursing school will be completely different from scrub school. I believe its the quality of the instructors that makes the difference in education, a lesson I wished I'd have learned earlier. Peace and best wishes to all.
