Bay Area circulating

I'm currently a CVOR circulator. I'm thinking about moving to Northern California. Do Bay Area hospitals make you scrub- specifically Stanford, kaiser, UCSF? To be honest, I have no interest in scrubbing. If it's a requirement for these facilities, I'm open to learning- but is this a role I will be forced into all the time?

    I work in one of those hospitals you mentioned. If I remember right, because this was years ago, I was moonlighting with the Cardiac Surgery service and there are dedicated Cardiac Surgery first assist RNs and there are dedicated circulators. They don't seem to cross over for both roles.

    Im at Stanford and in my service line , you have to be willing to be trained to scrub and be assigned as a scrub nurse on shifts . There are some nurses who were grandfathered in , but for the last 5-6yrs its become a requirement . I don't think that is the case at Kaiser and am not sure about UCSF.
