Mercy presently staffs 15 ORs and covers all specialties except
open heart and transplant. Staffing is a 1:1 nurse/tech ratio. Our
computer system automates the O.R. nurses' notes, surgeon specific
preference cards and supplies.
A tech is in-house for nights, Monday through Friday. At this time,
call occurs approximately twice in a four week period. One weekend
shift worked or one weekend call is expected every four week period.
Experience is a plus, but we will take RNs with no OR experience
at certain times during the year. Those times coincide with the
Chesapeake OR Consortium didactic classes. The duration of the internship
is six months. There are 15 suites serving both Inpatients and Outpatients.
OR specialties include the following:
Breast & Reconstructive Surgery
Cosmetic
General Surgery
Gynecology
Gynecology/Oncology
Neurosurgery
Ophthalmology
Orthopedics
Otolaryngology
Plastics
Podiatry
Vascular
