CRISTINA: "I'm coping. I'm coping. So... uh... shut up and look at all my crap!"
Scrub nurse
The scrub nurse works directly with the surgeon within the sterile field passing instruments, sponges, and other items needed during the surgical procedure. The sterile field is the area closely surrounding the OR table, and the Mayo stand, or instrument tray. Surgical team members who work within the sterile field have scrubbed their hands and arms with special disinfecting soap and wear surgical gowns, caps, eyewear, gloves, and shoe covers.
RN first assistant
The RN first assistant has gone through extensive additional education and training to deliver direct surgical care. The RN First Assistant directly assists the surgeon by controlling bleeding and by providing wound exposure and suturing during the actual procedure. The RN first assistant also is involved with your care before and after your surgery.
