I’m in a very basic urology case and we have an anesthesiologist, rad tech, surgeon, two scrubs (barely need one) and two RN. I’m charting and the other RN is circulating the room.
I need to replace my lead because it doesn’t fit right so I step out to find another set, and when I get back the board manager is in the room telling me the second scrub had gone and reported me for abandoning the patient because I left the room.
Maybe strictly we shouldn’t do it but circulators leave the OR all the time without a second RN to run for meds, get missing and replacement supplies, etc and nobody says anything about it.
Board runner told me not to worry, I did nothing wrong, and the scrub who reported me doesn’t get along with anyone; but I always thought we got along fine so I’m pretty upset that she reported me for that.
