   The only new policy our OR has adopted is the cloth jackets. They prohibited us from wearing them and after a while of allowing us to wear nothing, they have provided us with disposable scrub jackets. Long term, they have said they want to get matchi...

   adzam08 replied to Dtermnd2Bgreat's topic in Operating Room

   If it is a very low volume case day, they will try to ask people the day before if they want the day off. Then as the day progresses, they will allow people to leave early if they want. If it is just a regular day and my room finishes before the end ...

   adzam08 replied to Whitewlf00's topic in Pediatric

   I would suggest you just apply to any positions you see that interest you. HR will be the ones who decide if they want experience or not. Sometime even when it says Peds experience required/ preferred, you still may be considered depending on the amo...

8. Lightweight or Classic II?

   adzam08 replied to ilovemythreeguys's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I prefer the classic. I would second the previous poster by saying to get it engraved. You would swear that stethoscopes have feet the way they will disappear in the hospital. Between doctors, residents or fellow nurses, someone is always asking to b...

    adzam08 replied to adzam08's topic in Travel

    Thanks for all the advice! Driving my lease car cross-country is not an option due to the overage of miles I would have on my car. I like the idea of Zip Car if I am in an area with decent public transportation to supplement it, I had never heard o...
