  1. Favorite OR specialties

    Neuro and cardiac but I find it more enjoyable based on the doctors and staff I work with more.
  2. Should I go for hearts?

    Have 8 months under my belt at a very very small hospital. 3 ORs and was getting called off alllll the time. So I'm at a place with 10 ORs now and they have a heart room. I love it in the heart room. This place is severely understaffed with only two ...

  5. Charge nurse issues

    Thanks... Apart of me thinks, don't let her win because this is clearly what she wants. But to me thats just sick to think like that and I've worked so hard the last 9 months. I don't need to suck up to anybody or feel threatened by them. But then I ...

  9. New Grad OR Nurse Feeling Alone and Unsupported

    I find the or staff to be very territorial. There was on one anesthesia provider that I felt "comfortable" with. It was like none of them trusted me or thought I didn't know what I was doing. And I didn't and still have only a little clue. Haha. But ...
  10. Resources for the OR ?

    I struggle too. Spent 80,000 on an education and I know little about the operating room. I just bought the care of a patient in surgery. Very good book although expensive. My OR has a few videos as well, have thought about speaking them home for a fe...

  12. question for OR nurses !!

    I love it. I've only been there for 3.5 months but loving it. Although at rhe same time it is very challenging. I really don't think that OR nursing is for everyone though. You have to be able to stand up for yourself and most importantly for the pat...
  13. Should I quit nursing school?

    Or nursing is nothing like clinicals or floor nursing. Maybe one day you will go back.
  14. Vag prep

    New grad nurse here with 2 months experience in the OR. So I'm having issues understanding the whole Vag wet prep technique. Every nurse has their own technique and its confusing to me. I find it very difficult to find material online about it as wel...
