Call Schedule Question

At my facility, the policy states:

"Emergency call will be covered by one RN and two Certified Surgical Technologists. If an RN does not return the call within five minutes, a third CST maybe scrub in the RN's place."

What does this mean? Will the CST have the same duties as the RN r/t practicing under the surgeon's license? I don't really understand how everything works in surgery w/ call and all that, so I'm just wondering.

I don't see how this could work...the RN would be needed to circulate and in many states(not all, though) a circulator has to be an RN. :uhoh21:. You can't delagate that to an unlicensed person.. The way that paragraph is worded is strange..it makes it sound like all 3 people are scrubbing?
