About Me

WELCOME TO MY PAGE~!

I’m Jessica. I’m 35. I’m a mom of 3. Wife to an amazing firefighter/EMT. I do fire photography for our local fire department. I took care of my mom for 3 years before she passed away. At 30 I went back to college (2019) to pursue becoming a (PTA) physical therapy assistant. In 2020 the Pandemic hit & I changed my career path to Surgical Technology, which I have fallen in love with & can’t imagine doing anything else! After losing my mom in June of 2021 I was forced to get a job elsewhere until graduation. I was able to get a job at the hospital I plan on working at after I graduate (where I work at now). I worked in dietary & delivered trays to patient rooms, along with many other tasks from August 2021 – June 2022, then I switched over to the operating room on June 20th! I really enjoyed helping out in dietary & making the patients smile. The floors I mainly worked on & enjoyed working on the most were Surgical, CCU, & Behavior Health. I also delivered to the medical & OB unit. The patients were so wonderful (most of the time) & I absolutely loved getting to help them.

I started this blog because I had no clue what to expect coming into the program and couldn’t find any information anywhere to help me out! I am hoping to both help others through their journey & inspire others to start their journey! ❤

I have always loved helping people and do it any chance I get! It just truly makes me happy! I knew I wanted to work in the medical field, like my husband, but I never found anything that was for me until I came across surgical technology! I never knew it even existed or that my grandma had done the same thing! The first time I looked at BHC’s website about Surgical Technology I told my husband there was no way I’d be able to do anything like that with my anxiety, but it definitely sparked something in me! A week later, however, I came back to it & decided that maybe it was for me, after all, and I wasn’t going to let my anxiety stop me from doing another thing! I was up for the challenge.

I’m so glad I followed my heart & faced my fears because I absolutely LOVE Surgical Technology & adore my instructor, she’s so wonderful! I am hoping to help, inspire, teach, and just spread the word about Surgical Techs! Surgical Techs are so amazing & often underappreciated. Not to mention, a lot of people don’t even know who they are… I know I didn’t!

I’m so excited to start my journey as a CST now that I’ve graduated!! I will be taking as many photos as I can to share & help others along their journey!
