MedTek College Hayward

I was working in a store as a full-time associate when my brother-in-law encouraged me to enroll in MedTek College Hayward to get certification as a Sterile Processing Technician. He was already employed as an SPT Tech and he recommended this as a greater opportunity for job advancement and higher pay.

 

He knew that would interest me. Before that conversation I was already aspiring to get a higher position at work.  I put my passion at work and I work hard in giving excellent service to customers. But time came when I realized that my salary nor what a higher position will give me, is enough to provide for all the financial needs of my family. 

​

So I took my brother-in-laws advice to take the leap forward and enrolled at MedTek Hayward.  Although I know that there's no assurance in getting a job at this field right after I finish this course, I still took the chance and hoped for the best.  

​

I learned a lot at MedTek Hayward, not only from the lessons in the book, but also on having to have actual basic training of the instruments in the hands-on Instrumentation Lab, as well as receiving encouragement and motivation from the people there who were sharing their ideas and experiences from their own careers in this field.

​

At first, it's really not that easy to get a job right away but I never loose hope.  When I finished my course and passed the CBSPD Certification test, I was given the opportunity to do my eternship in Washington Hospital in Fremont.  I changed my job from full time to part time in order to start and give more time for my externship.  Doing so affected my benefits but I considered it as part of the sacrifice and God is good since my husband was then able to include me in his medical benefits at work. ​

​

I did my best to learn and work hard during my externship, hoping that when I finish, I will have the confidence to apply for a position in SPT. So it was a great opportunity and blessing for my family when I did get hired at the hospital where I did my externship!

​

I am very thankful to our manager for giving me a chance and to all his staff who welcomed me with open arms and taught me patiently. I'm still at my probationary period right now and it has been a big challenge for me, both in building up my self-confidence and my knowledge of my new career. I will do my best up to the end of my probation and whatever the outcome will be, I will be thankful for everything.

​

I am very proud that there's a school like MedTek College Hayward whose passion is to help other people by educating, encouraging and motivating them in order to find a greater opportunity to get into this healthcare field.  

​

Thanks to the staff of MedTek Hayward!!!  Keep up the good work!!!
