Jay –
It is beneficial to the hospital in several ways.
1) It eliminates any of the other surgical staff from having to take call on weekends (big moral booster)!
2) The team chosen is some of the most experienced which will provide the Surgeons with consistent, experienced team.
3) Our duties will include extra things like cleaning our own rooms after surgeries (eliminating need for a housekeeper to be on call), and washing and sterilizing any instruments we use that cant wait until Monday to process (eliminating the need for a sterile processing department employee to be on-call.
4) As time allows, we will have side-projects such as organising supplies, cleaning and restocking operating rooms and other things that we always need done but never have time to do during the regular work week.Exciting Update!!!
It looks like the universe is working to help me restart eBay! My hospital has been contemplating a “weekend” shift for surgery. Today it was approved AND I was picked to be the Surgical tech on the weekend team!
-What does this mean? – Instead of working all week, I will clock in at 6am Saturday mornings and clock out 6am Monday morning. I will be in the facility for 48 hours straight but probably only work around 16-20 hours over the 2 days. I will receive 40 hour pay and retain my full-time status and benefits!!
In other words, work two days and off 5 days every week! I will be able to spend m-f on eBay!Woohoo!
Yes Sharyn, I am the guy that hands the surgeon the scalpel. I also assist the surgeon with the surgery (retracting tissue, suctioning, cutting sutures as he ties them, etc…)
Jay – I would love to build up my eBay business to the point I just work part-time in surgery. I could actually get there pretty easily because I have been focusing lowering my bills. The older I get, my mantra has become “Don’t make more money, Need less money.” My home and property are paid for and I have very few bills so we could actually get by on very little.
Ill try to keep yall informed on how it goes.
