Scrub Nurse
MedGen is looking for experienced Scrub Nurses in Bristol on a part-time basis. We’re looking for an experienced professional who can work quickly and efficiently in a fast-paced environment and provide our patients with the care and support they need prior to surgery.
The Role
A Scrub Nurse is responsible for preoperative patient care and should be calm and responsive, have the ability to perform under pressure, and be an effective communicator. Ultimately, a high-quality Scrub Nurse should be up to date with the latest developments in healthcare best practices.
Scrub Nurse Responsibilities and duties
I’m not going to tell you what a Scrub Nurse does, because the truth is – you probably already are one if you’re looking at this! However, some of the common duties you can expect to be carried out are:
Giving preoperative instructions
Preparing patients for surgery
Assisting the Anaesthetist and Surgeons when needed
Sterilising and marking incision sites
Intervening when there are complications
Administering medication
Preparing the operating room
