Job Summary:
The Operating Room RN is responsible for managing all nursing care within the operating room, observing the surgical team from a broad perspective, and assisting the team to create and maintain a safe, comfortable environment for the patient’s surgery.

These critical nursing functions of the RN circulator are not delegable in the operating room.
