My aunt graduated from a school ten years ago, can she still take the licensure exam? I found an info regarding this question stating within one month after training or a year after graduation. Is there more detail info than this?

Try using the search field at the top of the page. Depending on where you live there should be an online school that will meet your needs. Type in your zipcode and hit ‘Go’

Does anyone know of an online surg tech certificate program available? I live about 1-1/2 hours from nearest school. Would be glad to attend for practical, but would like to school online for the other necessary material?? Hope someone can help. Please email Vallar@AOL.COM

I have been a surg. tech. since 1985. Initial schooling was military. I went back to school and received AAS diploma. I have heard that there is a Grandfather Clause for techs who have been in the field for “X” amount of years. My question is how far back does the grandfather clause go for those who are not certified? I do not want to get certified because I am now going to school to be a nurse and not being certified is preventing me from getting certain jobs as a traveler.

I have worked in this field for twenty years myself if you did not sit for ceritifcation in March 2000, you would have to return to school to retake the entire course. Today I teach, and I have two students who have currently done so. If you do not go this route it may be mandated by your facility of employment that you complete so many contat hours of education in that field.
