Wow. Congratulations! Sounds like an amazing opportunity.

Wow what an amazing opportunity. Sounds like the perfect job for an adrenaline loving RN (like myself). Hope you are enjoying it. What did you choose eventually ?

Are you liking it? Where did you train to scrub? Our hospital does not have scrub nurses, but I been wanting to hop in. I'm thinking of switching hospitals that have scrub nurses in it.
