    Full time and per diem? NICU/postpartum. Help please!

    klone replied to NurseBAP's topic in General Nursing

    Is NJ considered compact now?

    No, I'm saying the delegation of assisting/assessing an infant during a circumcision should not have been given to the scrub tech. This should be a nurse role, not a scrub tech
