    Will there always be an RN in the OR?

    Fun2 replied to ruralgirl08's topic in Operating Room

    AORN is big, and with AORN and ANA joining forces, I'm sure it will be a long time, if ever, that RNs are taken completely out. I guess you should always ask if there is a nurse in the OR if you have...

    Fun2 replied to Owensaunt's topic in Operating Room

    He has earned the right to have LPN on his badge, but should only be allowed to do scrub duties. We have an LVN who is a scrub. I give her the respect she deserves, she is a scrub nurse. However,...
