Know Your Worth – Don’t Let Anyone Tear You Down!

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the harsh realities facing sterile processing professionals across the country. From being underpaid despite increasing responsibilities, to unrealistic hospital demands with little support, this episode dives into what it really feels like to work in SPD today.

We confront:

• Why SPD techs are still fighting for fair compensation

• The dangers of the “do more with less” culture

• The risk and impact of relying on untrained temp workers

• What happens when SPD is first to get cut during hospital restructures

• The fear of being replaced by automation and AI

If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or undervalued in your SPD role—this episode is for you. It’s time to talk about it, strategize around it, and push for real change.
