New Subject

ok..so many of you know that I have been in the Surgical Technology program for the past 5 months...if you didn't, now you do.
Anyway, so we have finally started our clinical portion of the the program about 4 weeks ago. I really do feel like a medical student sometimes with all of the paperwork we have to do.
Don't get me wrong the things I have seen have been really interesting, but I hate doing the drawings that go along with it. Too many...however, i have nothing to complain about really because i usually have about 2-3 cases a day, while my fellow students have 6-8 cases a day. I have seen bowel, carotid arteries, uterus, behinds and much more.
I have a question for surgeons out there, what do you think makes a good scrub tech and what kind of advice would you give them to improve on instrument knowledge and procedures?
