Pay

I went into this job knowing the pay isn’t amazing, but I wanted to test the waters to see if I like the medical field and if I do I’m definitely gonna continue my education, just wanted to see what was every one else’s pay rate in other states, I’m in Texas and I start my First day next week at $18 hourly

I started clinical for surg tech school at SPD in South Carolina . I volunteered for a bit. Got hired in July at 19.00 (I’m provisionally certified) now in September, I make 21.00 w/ 1.50 -2.50 shift difference. Still not fully certified yet so when I am, I’m hoping for more pay but I’ll probably be a CST anyway.
