Alisabeth's post in Can the NP assist in surgery? was marked as the answerYes, nurse practitioners can first assist in surgery. I am a Family Nurse Practitioner, and I specialize in neurosurgery. I was an operating room nurse for several years and knew how to scrub and assist. I do not have my RNFA, which I will probably work towards in the future. Some hospitals where you will either work or have privileges require you to have your RNFA. I am at an HCA hospital, and they do not.
