Do most travel jobs require you to scrub? Or, can you specify that you don't scrub, only circulate?

Thanks

Bump. Fishing for a reply.

No, most are perfectly fine with you just circulating. Just make sure you tell them this during your phone interview.

If you do know how to scrub, they will probably let you scrub sometimes.

Much thanks for the response.

I have worked with many travellers who do not scrub. However, it is to your benefit if you can do both. I had a charge nurse who nearly fell off his chair when he found out that I could scrub. It made a huge difference in the way I was treated in the OR after that. Show them that you're flexible, they love it.
