Best Answer:
Generally not that well for the amount of schooling that you need. It's not a lot, but may not be worth it unless you're interested in the field. I'm in Canada, we call these "Central Sterilizing/Processing Technicians". Basically, you sterilize medical instruments and pack carts and kits all day. Your job may be easier working in the setting that you describe. For that reason, they may have you do other duties as well. The program is offered by local technical colleges. You may not have to be certified in your case. You typically WILL have to be to work in a hospital. I have seen pay ranges in about the range from $15-18 per hour. You could always try it and see if you like it. It's may be a good way to get your foot in the door. If not, at least it's an experience. Here's a website that displays the courses that you would take: http://www.sait.ab.ca/pages/cometosait/continuingeducation/health/sptcertificate.shtml Good luck!

IT BETTER BE GOOD. AND DON'T FORGET TO GET H-CARE
