Operating Room Circulator
I prepare patients for heart surgery and help during post-operation.
As a circulator, I work on the outside of a patient's surgery. I gather the supplies for surgery, position the patient, and make sure all the paperwork is correct. I also complete all of the charting for the patient and prepare medications.
Here's the first step for high school students
Before you go to college, I recommend trying to figure out what major you want to pursue and how it will apply to potential careers in the future before you actually dive in. If you don't know what you want to do, I suggest taking a bunch of different classes to figure out what you're interested in before you put a ton of work into the one subject you declare for your bachelor's degree. I also highly recommend shadowing someone who works in the field or position you want to pursue.
