What is a Flex RN Circulator?

Flex RN Circulators are registered nurses who work in the operating room, primarily responsible for managing the overall environment and ensuring patient safety during surgical procedures. The 'flex' designation means they are not assigned to a fixed schedule or surgical specialty, allowing them to fill in as needed across different shifts or specialties. Their duties include preparing the operating room, coordinating with surgical teams, documenting patient care, and ensuring all necessary supplies and equipment are available. Flex RN Circulators play a critical role in maintaining efficient surgical workflows and adapting to the dynamic needs of a hospital's surgical department.
