Thank you for your quick response..duly noted!

Has anyone worked at two facilities, one as a per diem (8 days per month) and the other as a part time OR nurse (8 hour shift)? I am currently in that situation. So this is my first time picking up a per diem position. I am required to give 8 days..but if they (per diem facility) call me in, can I just say I am not available that day if I am working at the other place? Or will I get dinged? I just don't know how to schedule myself.

Thank you for your response. I was thinking of talking to HR too. The sad thing is, the chief of anesthesiologist knows the incompetency of this surgeon because he sometimes facilitates the anesthesia for her cases too. So I can talk to him about my discomfort, but I do not think he will say anything about the surgeon's ethics of responsibilities. So did you talked to upper management and what did they do?

Has anyone been in a situation where you think your doctor should retire and not practice anymore, especially if they are surgeons? I am an OR nurse and was placed in a room working with a surgeon (who is well-respected) who appears to be incompetent. She asks the tech their opinion and such and it makes them feel awkward. Not only that, the patients are under MAC anesthesia. By the time the sedation wears off, they are quite awake during the procedure. I've talked to my colleagues about it, and they all refuse to go back into that room to circulate in that surgeon's cases. What should I do? I've also talked to my supervisor and understands my situation, but has not taken any action.
