You work closely with surgeons, anesthesiologists, registered nurses and other key surgical personnel in hospital operating rooms and outpatient surgery centers. Surgical Technologists play a critical role in surgical patient care.

    There are three major roles for entry-level surgical technologists - scrub, circulating assistant and second assisting. Scrub, circulating assistant and second assisting surgical technologists have primary responsibilities in maintaining the sterile field, being constantly vigilant that all members of the team adhere to proper technique.

    The surgical technologist in the circulating assistant role obtains additional instruments, supplies, and equipment while the surgical procedure is in progress. Monitors operating room conditions and assesses the needs of the surgical team in order to provide safe patient care.

    The surgical technologist in the second assisting role assists the surgeon and / or surgeon's first assistant during the operative procedure by carrying out technical tasks other than cutting, clamping, or suturing of tissue. The second assisting role is distinct from surgeon's first assistant and may be performed at the same time as the scrub role.

    Upon completion of the program and passing the licensing examination, the LVN can enter the workforce as a competent, skilled nurse. Vocational nurses as they are called in Texas and California provide bedside nursing care at the direction of physicians and/or registered nurses. The practice of vocational nursing is based on concepts from the physical, biological, and behavioral sciences. Each state has its own nurse practice act, so the scope of practice varies from state to state.

    As a licensed professional, the LVN uses the nursing process for patient assessment, to contribute to the nursing diagnosis made by the RN and for planning, implementation, and evaluation in providing care.

    LVNs are integral to nursing. They provide individualized care in a variety of healthcare Concorde - Vocational Nurse settings such as acute care, long-term care, home health care, and other community healthcare agencies.

    Vocational nurse students benefit from extensive hands-on learning in one-year programs. Much of their preparation for nursing focuses on supervised clinical experiences with real clients in real health care facilities. This clinical component of education is one of the major strengths of the vocational nurse program.

    Because of the versatility in their study, LVNs are among the most patient-focused members of any health care team.
