>> My name is Beverly Ann [inaudible].
I am currently a registered nurse in the operating room.
And my duty entails anything that comes across from management.
So anything to do with the operating room, the endoscopy suite, anything to do with radiology,
anything to do with same-day surgery, those were my areas.
Right now, currently as the clinical RN, what I do -- I will do cases.
I will train new employees.
I will train the students, whatever it is that they want me to do so I'm basically tossed back
and forth, you know, to whichever needs that they have.
I am the charge nurse on the weekends, but I only do that like every other weekend.
And during that period on the weekend, I run, literally run the operating room.
I get all the emergency cases done.
I delegate duties and responsibilities to the staff that I have.
I also oversee the central processing department where instrumentations, you know,
where we get that sterilizing clean.
I liaison with the doctors.
I liaison with the reps because sometimes we may have cases that involve laser or instrumentation
so I have to have a dialogue with them.
I have liaison with the PACU nurses because I may have to call them
in because they're not usually on the campus.
They are on PRN, you know, need.
And if we have a case we call them in.
So those are all tasks that I do in a normal day.
