hi! i’ve applied to a cst program for next fall and am half way through the interview process. i think i have a good general sense of what being a cst is like but i wondered if someone would mind describing to me what a “typical” shift looks like in this career? i’m interested in the breakdown of tasks and what they entail and how you spend your time over the course of an 8 or 12 hour shift etc. There are some terms i understand generally like “maintain a sterile field” or “draping” but not really sure what it looks like practically.
thank you!!!!
