Doctors' satisfaction with the endoscopy nurse: support offered, preparing the right materials, handling highly complex materials, communication. Endoscopy nurse satisfaction: pleasure, satisfaction, challenge, attention to training and development, knowledge exchange. And we have 100 nursing actions, such as: from cannulation in the papilla to anticipating bleeding with clips to removing the body to changing a G-Tube.
