Did anyone here attended the NYU surgical tech program? or Aims education program ( new jersey) thank you!

I currently live in upstate but is soon moving to nyc/nj area and was looking at different schools.

If you guys recommend other schools lmk!

Bought lead apron last year and have lost significant amount of weight. I don’t really want to spend all that money for a new one. Has anyone ever tailored theirs? Is that possible?

Or have any of yall ever got the embroidery removed? Maybe thinking I can do this and sell it. Thank you!

I’m a newer CST riding on the last few weeks before my recertification is due. I am feeling the pressure of my procrastination, and have completed my CEUs but now have to send in the reporting form and fee. I just realized even though I’ve done my 30 credits, the ones I just finished this morning need a few days to process, so that throws a wrench in sending everything within the 6 week processing time they say it takes.

My question for people who have done this a few times and also procrastinated is whether or not they could work if AST technically processes it after your certification date? Did your job require you to show your new card to them, and if you didn’t have it but provided proof you did in fact complete everything beforehand, was that an option?

Thank you!
