For those that work at a multi speciality facility, how long did it take you to become proficient at scrubbing everything?
I'm asking because at my current hospital Im starting to scrub again and will be doing general- mainly lap appe's, lap choles, hernias, ortho totals as well as arthroplasties, podiatry, cystos. I'm primarily circulating now and the last time I scrubbed was about a year and a half ago. I have about 5 months of total scrubbing experience at a Level 1 trauma hospital but almost entirely Ent although a little bit of hybrid cases mixed in with some neuro, crani's, stuff like that. I filled in a couple months ago for a general excision and although it was minor, It felt like I just picked it right back up again like I never stopped. I'd like to move more into scrubbing and less in the circulating role but still keep a decent balance to protect me physically.
