Well, if you have accepted it, you will soon find out it is for you! Big hospital, and the OR has a rep for bouncing travelers. So mind your P's and Q's!

I noticed this post is a few years old but was wondering CVORBOY how do you like traveling with CVOR. I'm considering to start traveling. I started in Texas but am now in Phoenix area and I'm looking to travel in the CA area. I just circulate, no scrub. Any advise or help its appreciated.

Lots of CVOR jobs out there and I've worked a good number. Scrub skills are required at some hospitals, and a plus everywhere else. Some scrubs want help with rinsing valves, or an assistant to help cannulate, or holding the heart.

California has a law mandating two circulators for CVOR (I hate sharing personally), but hospitals can get waivers. So pretty cushy perhaps, and sometimes valuable if the case turns ugly.
