New Home 656a Manual Lymphatic Drainage. Each member shall exercise conduct becoming to the professional position as an Orthopaedic Technician and Registered Orthopaedic Technologist.

I am currently an LPN, and I have taken the course work that is needed to become an Ortho Tech, the classes are not too hard, kind of challenging, there is lots to learn, but it is very good knowledge, you take your first class in anatomy and physiology, and the other one is one pathology and related nursing interventions, as well as trauma and rheumatology, as well as how to order and interpret x rays and do casting, splinting, etc. You need to make sure you are aware that you get a whole new scope of practice, and you leave your previous scope behind completely, like you wont even be able to give tylenol. You will order and interpret x rays and apply orthopedic devices to patients in a cast clinic or emergency. The pay is much better, starting at 29, and going up to 39.82 i believe. Good pay, but you have to like your scope of practice.

You do get much more autonomy and pride that you are very specialized and know a lot about MSK stuff. The ortho techs that I know are smarter then the GP they work along side with in emerg in regards to diagnosing and treating MSK issues. Hope this answers your question.

You've got to be covered under the HSAA contract to get that hourly rate. There are a few Ortho Tech jobs that fall under AUPE and they make roughly the same as an OR Tech. So watch out for who is employing you and what contract you're working under. Ummm LOTS of Ortho tech jobs are offered throu AUPE!!!!!! And she is right about the pay, you start at like 30 dollars an hour and go up to forty an hour.
