I work in the operating room as a circulating nurse of a smaller rural hospital (5 ORs). We are on call throughout the week and on weekends. Currently, when we are on call we are also on call for the...
I have also stated the solution numerous times which you think isn't the solution apparently. Adequate training and competency. But apparently you would rather keep accusing me of "just making...
