Mindset is everything in sterile processing, where the difference between fixed and growth perspectives determines your ability to thrive amidst complex challenges and high-pressure situations.

• Growth mindset believes abilities improve with effort while fixed mindset assumes skills are static

• Real-world examples show how perspective transforms workplace challenges into learning opportunities

• Catch negative self-talk and use the power of "yet" to reframe limitations as temporary

• Surround yourself with growth-minded colleagues who encourage questions and constructive feedback

• Handle mistakes with grace and responsibility rather than defensiveness

• Ask better questions about the "why" behind sterile processing procedures

• The whole department benefits when individual technicians commit to continuous growth

• You're not stuck or behind—you're in a process of development like instruments being prepared

Keep growing, keep believing, and keep showing up because the cleanest tools come from the strongest minds. Follow us on Instagram @sterilization_station52 or email questions to [email protected].
