Re: Future of endoscopy nursing?
we only use pill cam endoscopies and agile patency studies for people who are unable to have an EGD for whatever reason or for people who need small bowel evaluation. the CT evaluation of the colon is still in the works but does not really prove as an alternative as it can miss small polyps, microscopic colitis, etc..... our endoscopy business is still going strong...
i work in an outpatient endo center, hours are great, but lots of standing and lots of charting.....
