Re: EN>IT: Circulating Nurse

[Guest guest]

I suppose that's what was once called the District Nurse. That is, the

nurse delegated officially to oversee patients. Could it be 'Visitatrice

Sanitaria'?

I can remember ours: she wore a navy uniform, a funny hat, and men's shoes!

<< I guess it's my fault as I haven't provided a context. However it

is a nurse working in an operating room (and it is NOT the scrub

nurse), that's why 's suggestion maked perferct sense to me.>>

<<Infermiere di Sala Operatoria?>>

So how do you differentiate, in Italian, between the scrub nurse and

the circulating nurse both of whom work in the operating theatre? The

scrub nurse has scrubbed up, wears sterile clothing and hands

instruments to the surgeon, while the circulating nurse " circulates "

around the operating theatre to fetch whatever instruments are needed.

Dear Stefania,

considering your hurry... I called my nurse friend and she explained, as I

told you in private, that there are at least three nurses. Only the one that

passes the instruments ( " strumentista " , not ferrista) is scrubbed. The other

ones are: " infermiera anestesista " and " infermiera di sala " (also called

" infermiera circolante " )! See the link below:

Hope it helps
