Additional Information

Please keep in mind when listing your start date availability, if you can start the day Monument Health is requesting, you are more likely to be selected for an interview or offer.

Expect someone with a 501 or 605 area code to reach out to interview you for this position.

Required Skills/Experience:
CST requires Level 1 or Level 2 trauma experience.
Must be able to work independently with minimal guidance on CABG, TAVR, valve replacements, robotic thoracic cases (lobectomy and hernia repair), generator exchanges, lead extractions, cardiac organ procurement/harvesting, and fem-pop bypass.

Required Credentials:
Graduation from an accredited school is required.
An associate degree in a healthcare-related field or CST certification is required.

Special Requests:
You can only have 1 active application for the same position (same unit & shift at the same facility). Example: if you apply for day shift, you can also apply for night shift on the same unit and facility, but you cannot apply for another day shift position on the same unit & facility.
Permanent staff must wait 1 full year to return as a traveler.
Time-off requests require manager approval.

Unit Details:
Cardio and thoracic surgeries include CABG, TAVR, valve replacements, robotic thoracic cases (lobectomy and hernia repair), generator exchanges, lead extractions, fem-pop bypass, open vascular cases, AAA, carotid procedures, conversions, and cardiac organ procurement/harvesting.
The unit uses a two-technologist model with two techs in every case: both scrub in, set up, and drape; the primary tech hands instruments, and the second provides helping-hands support to the surgeon and team. Technologists routinely rotate through these positions.
The CST role is circulation-only; no scrubbing.
Equipment includes Omnicell and Alaris.

Floating Requirements:
CST could float to Main OR.

Shift & Scheduling:
Shift length may be 8 or 10 hours; the final schedule will be determined during the interview.
Weekend rotation is on-call only; on-call is required for one overnight per week (7p-7a) and every third weekend. The ideal call schedule is 1-2 days/week (1500-0700) and 1 weekend every 3rd Friday (1500-0700 Monday), subject to change as department needs change.
A sleep room will be in the Pre-Op/PACU area when that area is closed, with couches available in the break room. The response time is 15 minutes.
Potential to work every holiday.

Pre-employment modules may be required for this role. Please upload any certifications or health documents you have to your profile to expedite your on-boarding process.
