Does anyone have data or recommendations supporting staffing OR with 1 RN and 2 CSTs?
It is very surprising to know that it requires quite a large staff to perform even the simplest of surgeries. Doctors perform operations, but nurses and surgical technologists ensure that operations in the operating suite run smoothly. RN plays a very important role in the operating room. The CSTs work along doctors and nurses so that the operations proceed smoothly. The Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts an increase of 26% growth for registered nurses between 2010 and 2020, while positions CSTs can expect job gains of 19 %. Persons investing training in this field can enjoy a bright employment opportunity. Going with some good physician staffing agencies like usmedicalstaff. com, indeed. com, doctorschoiceplacement.com for seeking a career in this field can be of great assistance.
