Night shifts with no backup. Leaders who say help is coming but never deliver. New SPD techs stuck in the no experience, no job cycle. In Episode 7 of SPD911, Dr. Jake, Sharon Green Golden, and Derek Jones break down what really happens when sterile processing professionals feel alone, overworked, and undervalued—and how to actually change it.


What you’ll learn in this episode:




  • How to document, communicate, and protect yourself when left solo on shift




  • Why hospitals keep hiring for experience but won’t create experience




  • How to balance respect, advocacy, and leadership without losing your team




  • The truth about hero syndrome in SPD and why it hurts more than it helps
