Okay, I have to put this somewhere. I went to school for surgical technology. I am a Certified Surgical Tech I passed I did all the work to do it. never missed a day 3.8 GPA this was over a year ago. I still have not found a job in a hospital. Before you ask yes I have applied to many hospitals I'm not just sitting on my hands. but two months ago I had to get a job to make money and get on my own feet. I have the schooling to be working in surgery but you want to know where I am working? Walmart... it is the biggest insult of my life. here I thought this 18 month of hard work studying never missing a day of class or externship being top in the class and I am the only one out of 7 who graduated and one of the 4 of the 7 who past the CST(Certified Surgical Tech) test ( California you are not required to have the CST you just have to graduate from an accredited program. I took the CST just getting over probably the worse ailment I had ever had. the day before I couldn't even get out of bed I really felt like I had one foot in the grave. I went the next day feeling a little better but still not all there and took the most important test of our schooling and Past! I Past... and I can work in the hospital all that hard work was supposed to pay off, right? But I am working at Walmart. Let's just say today is not a good day for me right now because it is really hitting me hard right now. I'm not one to complain that is why I am posting it here because I know no one reads. The evidence below where I have ranted and no one has responded so I feel safe posting it here. I love being in the OR working in there was like I was finely where I was always supposed to be. However, I go to work every day with a fake smile on my face and no one there knows that I could be working in the operating room alongside the surgeon.
