Surgical techs are an integral part of a hospital’s healthcare team, and act as a surgeon’s right hand. They prepare surgical equipment and help surgical assists and surgeons before, during, and after a surgical procedure. Some on-the-job responsibilities may include, but are not limited to: coordinating with multidisciplinary facility team to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate patient care plans, maintaining accurate, detailed reports and records, and providing individualized, non-judgemental, non-discriminatory care to all patients, families, and staff.
To apply as a surgical technologist with Nomad, you must have an active National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting- or National Center for Competency Testing-issued certification or active first assistant certification from NBSTSA, NCCSA or ABSA, as well as evidence of at least one year of experience as a Adult Cardiothoracic surgical tech or first assistant, and evidence of one year of experience within your specialty/modality within the past three years. If you are not certified, you must have at least 10 years of surgical tech experience, but it is ultimately up to each facility whether or not they accept non-certified surgical techs. In addition, you must have graduated from an accredited school within your discipline, and score 80% or higher on all Nomad Health competency exams.
At Nomad, we want to give you the tools you need to succeed. Our Nomad Navigators are passionate about helping you get to the bedside as quickly and efficiently as possible. They can help you with your application, credentialing, and finding housing. Our Navigators have experience working with travel surgical techs and can even help with on-the-job concerns if any arise while on assignment.
In addition to real hands-on support, we have a benefits package that was explicitly built for traveling clinicians and includes a housing stipend, partial travel reimbursement, and major medical and dental plans available on your first day of work. We also have a 401(k) program with employer matching options, a user-friendly digital timekeeping process, and weekly direct deposits.
