What is a Surgery RNFA?

A Surgery RNFA (Registered Nurse First Assistant) is a specialized registered nurse who assists surgeons during procedures. They provide hands-on support by handling instruments, controlling bleeding, suturing, and ensuring patient safety. RNFAs work closely with the surgical team to improve efficiency and outcomes.

Outside of the operating room, RNFAs may participate in patient assessments, documentation, and post-operative care. The role requires flexibility, as case volume and surgical complexity can vary, and strong teamwork is essential for adapting to the dynamic surgical environment.
