NRST vs TS-C Certifications: Which is Right for Me?

When choosing between NRST (Nationally Registered Surgical Technologist) and TS-C (Tech in Surgery – Certified), it’s important to understand their differences. The NRST, awarded by the NAHP, is valued for its accessibility and alignment with modern training programs, making it ideal for those completing bootcamps or accelerated courses. With a comprehensive exam focused on real-world surgical skills, NRST offers a faster, flexible path into the profession—perfect for those seeking state eligibility and career-ready preparation.
