cysto?

Thank you for you replies....we get no scrub tech... the surgeons do the case , along with the residents, but the issue is set up and the constant turnover of the instruments, wash, wrap, etc. I find this hard especially when you have up to 6 cases, and you have to steris instruments with no scrub tech, and then at the end of the day you are responsible for the build up.....plus, I am really not trained to do the processing, am I, as nurse? and please dont take this the wrong way, but from a financial standpoint, isnt it a wAste of monry to have RN's washing and processing instruments? This seems not - kosher to me.. and this is at a major university hospital.....I just dont get it......

Laser ? You get another person for that? wow
