NCCT license in Virginia
 

Good evening, I am a Certified Surgical Technologist. I currently hold a license from NCCT. I have 19 years experience as a surgical Technologist. I have been certified through NCCT since 2009. I currently work at Pediatric Specialist of Virginia in Fairfax Virginia. I believe having a license from NCCT is just as great and rewarding as AST license. I work hard and help assist in some surgical procedures. I also am aware of my scope of practice when it comes to being an assist in the surgical Operating room. We should be recognized and acknowledged that we can scrub any surgical procedures when it come to our patients and acknowledge the safety of our patients. I would love to keep my license from NCCT. It’s a great educational, certified and utilization program. That helps worker like myself stay licensed and go travel anywhere across the United States of America as well as international. We are the first responders and the frontliner’s in healthcare. We are much needed in hospital and surgical centers as well. Please take us into consideration when it comes to being a certified Surgical Technologist, from NCCT. We are the Techs In Surgeries. Thank you, Tabitha B.
