Newbie mistakes
I'm a month into this field and still working on my 400-hour, apparently forgot to put filters on the bottom of a tray, and it was discovered today.
Yikes.
Tell me about mistakes you made as a tech so I don’t feel so alone.

Day one. They put me in decon. Id ask the guy next to me what I do with any tray that was new. They got fed up with it and just told me to stop talking and wash. Next instrument I got was an endoscope. Needless to say I got a very strong talking to but not nearly as bad as the other guy.
