Traveling Surgical Tech Jobs
A surgical tech is an important member of an operating room team that assists before, during and after a procedure. In general, they prep the needed equipment and assist surgeons, OR nurses, anesthesiologists and others in the operating room. If you are ready to take your surgical tech experience on the road and experience something new, check out the traveling surgical tech jobs available with Trustaff.
Surgical Travel Tech Qualifications
Because of the physical and mental demands of being a surgical tech, having one to two years of experience under your belt before traveling is advisable. This way, you can grow your confidence and skill set before adjusting to new environments. Additionally, having an active license or appropriate accreditation in one of the 50 U.S. states is required for the job. If your current license is for your home state rather than your assignment state, Trustaff can reimburse you for the new license costs in that state.
Traveling jobs are rewarding, especially if you have a sense of adventure. If you love adapting to new surroundings and quickly learning new things, being a traveling surgical tech may be perfect for you.
