  1. Warmer on Boom??

    We're in the process of redesigning our OR, and I suggested that we add a radiant warmer on an overhead boom instead of free standing that way it can stay on until draped and won't get in the way. I googled it at one point and found a company that ma...
  2. Military Nursing Questions Answered

    I'm toying around with the idea of joining the Navy, but the only specialty I want to do is OR nursing. I'm a RN, BSN with 1 year OR experience (at a level 1 trauma center if that helps?). What are the chances I end up in the OR with the Navy? Do y...
  3. gowning and gloving technique

    I don't understand why you'd need someone to hand you the gloves. Can you explain their rationale? I was taught to open gown my gown off the field and place my gloves on top. I scrub then dry and Avagard (because I hate coming in drippy), so no need ...
  4. Operating Room Interview- New Grad

    I would definitely bring multiple copies of your resume in case it's there's more than one person interviewing you. The only question I was really asked was why I wanted to get into OR nursing. The rest of the interview focused on how life works in ...
  5. Interview attire

    Congrats on the PRN offer, even though it wasn't what you wanted. Could you still do the PRN gig if you got the PCT position?

  8. Have interview for dream specialty tomorrow... Advice ?

    Just remember - They already like you or they wouldn't have offered you the interview! (That's what I told myself to help calm my nerves before my interview.) Good luck!

    Canesdukegirl is my nursing idol. She's so knowledgeable - plus she's a Caniac!

  11. Interview attire

    You applying at MUSC in Charleston? I wore a suit for both my interviews there. I have some links for interview prep and thank you note etiquette that I can send you if you'd like. I used them when I was looking for my RN job, but I'm sure you could...
  12. Starting pay for new grads in Charleston?

    Who is hiring new grads wasn't the question. I would be happy to volunteer which hospitals in the area have hired new grads, but that wasn't asked. (But if you really want to know, classmates have found jobs at MUSC, Trident, Trident Summerville, and...
  13. Holy Abscess! Not for the faint of heart

    Love it! I would've paid good money to be the one that was squishing it out with their hand!
  14. Being a Vet Tech to becoming a RN

    I was a vet tech (not licensed) through high school and college(s). I applied, got accepted, and *poof* was a RN. Ok..maybe it was a little more difficult than that. School was perhaps a little easier because of the background knowledge I had, but ...
