I have been a circulator in the OR for the past 4 years and I am interested in trying something new. Lately, working in endoscopy has been on my mind. Can any Endo RNs out there answer some questions for me?
What is a typical day like? Are the procedures all scheduled or are there any emergencies? Are IV starting skills necessary? (In my OR, the CRNA always starts the IV). I know all hospitals are different, but does endo usually require being on call? Working weekends? Holidays? Would my experience in surgery help me in endo?
I appreciate any response. Thank you!
