I am currently a ST student and about done with my 1st semester of clinicals. So far I love being a tech but the personalities are absolutely horrible. Is it just me or do people who work in the OR have sticks up their butts??? I really can't believe how rude some staff are to students. All the girls in my small class of 8 have had to deal with rude nurses and techs...... Do they forget they were once students also? I really would like to be a tech when I graduate but I refuse to become grump in order to survive in the OR. I have talked to my teacher about it and nothing has changed.

Hello, I plan on taking a CNA course at my local community college and I recently found out about OB techs. Is there more required training to become an OB tech or do hospitals hire CNA's and train them? I work as a catering associate at a hospital now (i make/deliver patient food) and the nurses in L & D say they use scrub techs. I would ask more questions but our hospital in currently way under staffed and super busy. So are scrub techs CNA's that are trained at the hospital or is special schooling? Are scrub techs and OB techs the same position? thank you:D
