Mollie, RN, FA

Mollie comes to HHNW with 38 years experience in the OR and the past 25 years at St Luke's
Hospital in Boise, Idaho. Originally from Indianapolis, she and her husband moved to Boise for the
outdoor activities. She enjoys hiking, biking and downhill skiing.
Mollie works as an RN FA (first assistant) having many of the responsibilities as  Bethany. A first assistant also has some of the responsibilities as a surgical assistant like Jason (see 2013 blog post) . Washington state does not have the designation FA. She likes heart surgery because it is "clean".
Mollie has traveled to Europe but this is her first trip to Africa. She has been most surprised by the age of the medical equipment used at King Faisal and that there are no railings on patient beds!
