Registered Nurse First Assistants, commonly called RNFAs, are an important member of the surgical team. As an assistant in surgery, they practice under the direct guidance of the surgeon, and they collaborate with the surgical team to help achieve optimal patient outcomes. We're really going to dive into the value that the RNFA provides the OR on today's episode of First Case as we speak with Michele Kuznitz, CRNFA. Join us as we talk about the RNFA role, the benefits of RNFAs within the OR, and discuss the differences between hospital-employed RNFAs and independent contractors. You don't want to miss it!
