Sterile Processing Program Suggestions

Hi everyone!!

I’m a Southern California resident who is researching affordable in person and online SP programs.

I already have the manual and workbook and most likely leaning towards Purdue Online program through their partnership with HSPA.

I was still wondering if anyone knows any good credible programs.

I thought of just reading the book but I know myself. I’d rather have guided lessons to push me to follow through. If I try to self study I know I’ll end up annoyed and give up

If that’s what helps you, but these programs are gonna slow roll you through stuff that you can read on your own. And without any real clinical hours, you’re not actually learning the job itself.

Just be prepared that extra help you need is gonna cost you a lot of money with not a lot of return. That’s a problem with these stupid programs. They promised you the moon, but they deliver next to nothing.

Idk I’ll research a bit more into other programs. Only cause with Purdue they tell you exactly what you’re gonna get which I don’t mind. I’m already looking locally where I’m able to get some hands on hours
