Hi, just started my surgery rotation. I am rotating on cardiac and I am not scrubbed in watching a screen for 6+ hours. My OR nurse told me to go to the room next door as they were closing and I could possibly help. My resident was in the room and asked me why I left the previous case and I explained why. We then got the pt a bed and he gave me the option to go back to the original case or go home. I am doing literally nothing and learning nothing, so I decided to go home. Is this reasonable? Did I come off bad by leaving the original case and going to another to help close?
