Re: What's the easiest job in the operating room?
Wow, I just stumbled upon this post and all I can say is that I am completely astonished and amazed. Everyone in the OR works hard, from the PST's up to the Surgeons. We ALL have a job do, and no body should have to feel as if they need to defend their job. Most everyone takes pride in what they do, and how they do it. I was very offended being an OR nurse myself to see one of my own belittling so many people and forcing them to defend their jobs and positions. The OR is all about team work, how can anything get done in an environment such as the one that has been brought up by Linda2097? A circulator has their own scope of practice, same as a CST, and a First Assist. We all have different jobs but they are ultimately dependent on one another.
