Scrub nurse sounds fun 😭 can you go from nursing school to that? (Probably different in aus though 😭)

Don’t forget your RNFA’s…registered nurse first assistants…more learning and certification, but very cool if you want to assist the doctor during surgery like a PA or NP would and you learn to suture wounds closed. My mom retired as one :-)

As a fellow OR nurse - thank you for shining a positive light on our speciality! I feel like our specialty is often misunderstood because we don’t perform common nursing tasks. However - as someone who can scrub and circulate, we are a valuable team member to the entire healthcare system 😊

Can you share more about your training experience for scrubbing? My hospital wants to train me to scrub but I’m terrified bc we didn’t learn anything about scrubbing in nursing school 😭

Do L&D nurses also help during C sections since they’re considered surgeries?

Do you workout on the days you work? I work 4 10s but it’s more like 4 11s and I’m exhausted. I came to the OR this past summer from 3 12s on the floor and it’s been a hard switch although I love it but I’m wondering how ppl come home and work out after such a long day or do it so early!!
