Circulation nurses have many similar responsible, although they are to insure that the operating room is clear and non-contaminated by previous surgeries or other infections. They are also there to collected, open, clear and sterilise packets containing surgical equipment. RN First Assistant: Surgeons often depend most heavily on the RN first assistant, who provides direct patient care. She watches for possible complications by monitoring a patient’s vital signs, including heart rate, pulse and respiration.
