Summary
I currently hold the title of Circulating Registered Nurse in the operating room, where I have enjoyed caring for patients in the perioperative setting (inpatient and outpatient) for the past 2+ years now. Most of my expertise lies in the specialties of gynecology, urology, and general surgery. However, I have also been involved in a number of orthopedic, neurologic, and ENT/plastic surgery as well. From my experiences so far, robotics have been a favorite!
