strictly imho - so much about circulating cases is facility- and case-specific, even physician-specific as to what you do, when and how, it'd be hard to make too many generalizations about how it's done and put it on a website - even who does what can vary from place to place. like if there are two circulators to a room, or two scrub techs, or even an anesthesia tech present to assist anesthesia with induction and intubation, running for labs, fluids and whatnot....

it might be a good idea to get the p&p book (policy and procedures) if you can and consult that, plus a written copy of the or rn's job description. that would probably be your best bet as a basic reference, in addition of course to working with someone with experience. some facilities have this information available on their website in the employees only section........good luck! ;)

in my orientation we had to read a book by cynthia spry about the OR- circ, scrub, and the basics of both- including instruments and positioning. anyway it was a bit outdated when I used it but there might be an online version or something updated that you could get from a college library. hope that helps.
