Not a lapdog! would like input

I have worked in 3 facilities in the OR. One as a CST and the other two as an RN circulator. I currently work in a level 2 trauma center that sometimes feels like a day surgery center. Recently our boss, upon feedback from surgeons, requested the entire OR staff be waiting in pre op within view of the patient's room ten minutes before the first case of the day is scheduled to start for the surgeon to view us. The typical first case is a 0700-0715 room time and the staff meeting does not conclude until 0645-0650. The cases can range from total knees to a robotic total hysterectomy, and everything in between. They are really pushing for no delays also.

I have never heard of this implemented and find it to be an incredible waist of time. Furthermore I find it somewhat degrading. I am an RN not a lapdog. I really put priority on patient care and want my room to be absolutely prepared and all care aspects addressed before rolling into the room, not sitting on my larels waiting for a physician to see me doing so.

Am I wrong in my thinking? I'm really confused at why this is even being aloud to occur. would love to hear your thoughts.
