Yes Plastic Surgeons higher RNs. I work for one in Florida. We have an ambulatory surgery center. There are 4 doctors in the office and each doctor has an RN assigned to him. We are responsible for the H&P's prior to surgery patient education, fielding patient calls, clinic flow, OR flow and many other things. In our office, we also circulate in the OR. We have 2 OR suites so 2 doctors have surgery each day. There are scrub techs that help them and we also have recovery room nurses. In the clinic, there are MA's that help with clinic pts as well. The pay depends on the office you go to. I think many are finding that inorder to get a good RN, they need to be competative with the hospitals. Hope this helps...by the way, I love it!!!! I worked in the ER for 10 yrs. It was a pleasant change.
