So, I've been circulating for 3 days now and here's what my preceptor trusts me to do:
Pre-op interview, set up the room, count with scrub, poor solutions and medications, position the patient, prep, hook up the cords, wires and tubes to start a case, and the Time Out. That's a bunch!
So far she has been showing me the charting, though I can't do it since we haven't been trained yet.
She is really pushing me...but I feel that it's a good pushing. It feels good to actually start doing what I feel is the goal of this period of nursing in my life. Next week I will get to do another 3 days!
I've had several nice complements made and some think I am further along in the orientation process (they are very surprised when I say that I have only been circulating for 3 days).
So far, it's awesome!
