Re: Nurses in Dental settings
I worked as an LPN in an oral surgeon's office for 5 years then went back to get my RN. I loved working there. As an RN in that setting, you would be starting IV's, pushing meds for sedation, assisting during the surgery etc. You could also be going to the hospital to assist with surgeries that can't be done in the office setting. The group I worked for did a lot of jaw reconstruction, Fx's, dog bites that needed lot of facial fine suturing. It would definitely be a lot of surgery setting. I don't know about just the dentistry end of it.

What meds were you using for sedation and did you have a CRNA on staff or was it the OS directing sedation? What monitoring was going on during surgery? Were you one of many nurses on staff or just you?
