At that time they were estimating that NASA would employ 17,211 full-time equivalents (FTEs) in fiscal year 2016 (which ended on Sept 30, 2015). NASA releases a new request every year, usually in February. BTW, a single full time equivalent could be one person working full time, or two people working half time.
What is a Surgical Nurse? A surgical nurse is a nursing professional that is trained to be able to assist during both routine and difficult surgical procedures. These types of nurses can be found around operating tables all across the word, assisting surgeons with both elective and life-saving procedures.
The term surgical nurse practitioner is one that can be applied to many different situations. For instance, a nurse practitioner that works in trauma surgery would be a surgical nurse practitioner, but so would one who works in cardiothoracic surgery but their experiences would be quite different.Therefore, it is hard to say that a surgical nurse practitioner has a standard patient population.ll types of surgery can be physically demanding and require many hours of work, paying constant close attention. More complex surgeries, such as heart transplants or neurosurgeries, may take 24 hours or more. Aspiring surgical nurse practitioners should be aware of this if they want to spend time in the operating room.
