  1. Looking to become a CRNA

    Hey folks! I am currently an OR Nurse at a children's hospital. I have been a nurse for 3 years now and I have prior experience in med - surg and cardiac stepdown. I must say that when I got the OR I was looking for something different. I was not thi...
  2. Hey Guys! I have been a RN for 3 Years in the adult world. I worked a little over 2 years in an "extended care" hospital where we mostly dealt with wound care, trachs/vents, and patients on long term ABx. Last summer I moved to a cardiac stepdown at ...
  3. Hopefully Moving From Floor Nursing to O.R.

    Ok thanks! I'm gonna be working Mon-Fri and I was thinking I could pick up if I had to during a Fri night. To me working 8 hr shifts is gonna be better for me than the 12 hr shifts
  4. Hopefully Moving From Floor Nursing to O.R.

    Hey guys just wanted to let you guys know I got a job offer for the OR!! I'm excited but of course nervous at the same time. I'm happy to get away from the floor and try something entirely different but at the same time I feel like my 3 years of expe...
  5. Hopefully Moving From Floor Nursing to O.R.

    Hey guys I had my interview for the OR position today! I think it went pretty well. They told me they may get me to shadow someone soon to make sure I like it. Funny thing is as soon as I left I got a call to schedule an interview for a Hospice Home ...
  6. Do you work 8 hours shifts in the OR? I think that is a big plus over working allllll day shifts on the floor!

  8. Regrets about Nursing?

    I have been a nurse for nearly 3 years ( come Jan) and have been on the floor. I like nursing but I'm wanting to get out of bedside nursing and maybe get into case mgt or home care
  9. Money Management

    That's awesome that you don't have to work OT! I find that I don't have to work overtime to pay bills but If I don't then I would easily find myself eagerly waiting until the next payday to have some money.
  10. Money Management

    Hey guys I was just wanting to get people's perspectives about how to make the most out of a nurses' paycheck. I am a RN of nearly 3 years and I needed some advice on how I can stretch my dollars. I don't live an extravagant lifestyle but I get paid ...
  11. Bedside Nursing and Families

    Hey guys, I was curious how do you deal with obnoxious family members of your patient?! At my hospital we are adopting "family-centered" care. In theory this is great but I must admit that it sucks when you have annoying family members that write dow...
  12. are nurses satisfied?

    Yea I can definitely relate. I've been on a unit where patients stay for about a month or so and its soooooo easy to get bored! No...I don't want to feel like I"m walking on pins and needles all the time but variety can be good!
  13. My Preceptor Hates Me (need advice)

    Hey Man! While reading your post I was reminded of my preceptorship that just ended not too long ago. This was my final quarter and I worked at a pediatric ICU with a nurse who graduated school herself a couple years ago. I swear we have a lot of thi...
