  1. Taking picture of patient?

    I did not recall anywhere in the original post where it stated this 'celebrity' gave consent, there is no guarentee that this said photo does not have someone in the background whose privacy it may violate, would you as an RN take a photo of every pa...

  4. Pt's mom asks to you lie to the pt---What to do?

  5. Taking picture of patient?

  6. Probably a dumb question from a nursing student

    Yes the state I am in requires a certification in order to pass surgical instruments. If a person is not an RN they are a CST (certified scrub tech) It is a patient liability issue not a student nursing issue. I am not discouraging just surprised tha...
  7. New Grad to the OR....good decision?

    I too went from nursing school to the OR however, the hospital I worked at also required a rotation in other areas prior to being soley in the OR. I did ER, PACU, NICU, ICU, Gen floor, and cardiology...I feel those rotations did help me.

  10. Reading the questions and answers, I got them all correct according to what I know as an RN and what your instructor claims is the most correct answer. I would have to ask you if maybe you are analyzing your answers too much when deciding what is cor...
  11. UHmmmmm.........WHAT? That is NOT something I have EVER seen...I think that could classify as patient abandonment. You were a student? alone ? in the OR with a patient under anesthesia? and no one else???
  12. I will NEVER EAT AGAIN....Blechhhhhhhh:uhoh3::sstrs:
  13. Funny things said by ortho surgeons in the OR

    *GASP*...............(sucking air into lungs)......I think I hurt myself from laughing!!!!!!:loveya:
  14. Why did you retire or become inactive?

    I am inactive right now because I was told by my former employer that I would not have any accomodations granted to me (I used to work in the OR with profound hearing loss) but one day very suddenly I lost the rest of my hearing (which was very littl...
