What is the outlook for surgical technologist job listings?
I used to work in a large metro hospital in Milwaukee and received a good salary with the opportunity for advancement. Subsequently, I transferred to a smaller satellite hospital. Even though it was a so-called lateral move, I took a substantial pay cut. We do complex cases and have excellent physicians, but someone in administration doesn’t feel that we deserve the same pay and career ladders as those in the Metro region. Frankly I can’ t understand why a clinic technologist gets paid little more than a housekeeper, but in fact that is the case. The advantage is no on-call and no weekends. Here in Wisconsin, working in a solo practice as a private scrub is a rarity. How does your salary compare to surgical technologist wages?
