I began in 2017 as uncertified , certified in less than a year In a smaller facility until 2020. I progressed to a very large facility for women and babies. I grew leaps and bounds. I currently work in a 400 bed facility with approximately 50 cases per day with a vast variety.  This facility is where I grew the most regarding IFU’s, censitrac computer system for tray list, printed tags, and loaner trays, 

In 2017 I changed career because I wanted to do more meaningful work. I relied on my manager’s and co workers to teach me at each facility because they were different from each other. completing the HSPA course had been the best source.  I enjoy in person seminars for the most up to date standards and all things new. I do also enjoy on line classes for CEU’s.
