I work in the Birting Suites at our hospital, I am a L&D,Circulator and scrub for our department... We had our coordinator of our OR (an registered nurse AORN certified) step down from this postion due to pollitics.. Any way there wasn't many to willing to take over this position..so our illustrious leaders changed the wording of the posting to make the position a Facillitator of the OB OR...and gave it to one of our LPN-scrubs... I don't like this because as the RN in the room every thing rides on me... this has to go against AORN standards...
I like this person as a person but she has no management skills and does nothing but scrub for scheduled CS and occationaly when we have a emergency when she is there... she leaves at 3pm..very rearly letting us know she's going and those of us who scrub are left to cover..after she is gone... I have had to leave my laboring patient with someone else go scrub, clean the OR and then go back to my laboring patient..... any way I am rambling just wanted to know where I can find some concrete information to take to the administration that this is not right ...or maybe I am wrong.
Please let me know..........................thanke :)
