Job Roles

Published

I will be graduating nursing school this May and got hired onto the OB unit at the hospital were I'm currently employed at the same unit as a Certified Surgical Technician. Should it be my obligation or role to still cover for scrubbing C-sections while being a nurse? What if the unit needs me in a emergent situation or when they are short handed, and don't give me a choice that I have to be the scrub tech? I worry I won't be able to give the adequate care to my patient I will be caring for if I have to worry about doing a C-section, or get pulled away from my Pt for a C-section.

If you get pulled off your unit, another nurse will take your assingment. They'd most likely avoid this, as they would have to pay you RN pay to perform duties of a scrub tech.
