2. Who controls the certification of scrub techs?

   DawnEyes replied to at your cervix's topic in Operating Room

   I've never minded "scrub tech" for what I do. Surg tech, scrub tech, OR tech, they're all the same to me...someone who's on duty to be able to scrub OR cases. As Lonman said, it really depends on what your state regulates. I know that Washington requ...

4. Surgical tech duties beyond our scope of practice?

   DawnEyes replied to DawnEyes's topic in Operating Room

   Thanks much for your replies. I'm going to go in on Monday (when I work next) and speak with the HN and wardmaster about my concerns again, and see about bringing about a change/amendment to that description. I'll point them to Aorn.

5. Surgical tech duties beyond our scope of practice?

   DawnEyes posted a topic in Operating Room

   Hello all, sorry this is so long! I need some information and I'm hoping that some of you can provide insight. I'm not sure if this should go here or in the L&D forum because it covers aspects of both specialties. And please let me say ahead of t...

6. Can a surg. tech. "circulate" a case -give medications?

   DawnEyes replied to Linda J's topic in Operating Room

   Mare, I know you didn't mean your last post to go to anyone in particular, but I just wanted to clarify...I've never told anyone I am a registered nurse, nor will I until I complete the nursing program and pass the NCLEX. Then (and only then) will th...

7. What will YOU do with your first "real" paycheck!?

   DawnEyes replied to DZcarrie's topic in General Students

   This just cracked me up. :chuckle First paycheck as a RN...I have the bmw I want - specs, color, and all - chosen and saved at bmwusa.com. I can't wait to hit the *purchase* button after graduation! After that, money will be spent on "Conceiving for...

    DawnEyes replied to azebe00's topic in General Nursing

    When I started taking classes, I wasn't required to take the SAT for my school. I had been out of high school for 5 years at the time. I had to take the college placement exam for math and ended up taking college algebra. In fact, I've never taken th...

12. Wishes Regarding Students in Birth Plans

    DawnEyes replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didn't differentiate either. I certainly wouldn't mind having a student nurse or OB course RN in the room with my regular nurse. Me, my hubby, the cnm, and a nurse (and one student, if they are there) I could handle...I know everyone there is worki...

13. Air Force Nursing Questions

    DawnEyes replied to Meco's topic in Government

    For a direct commission (ie: you did not do ROTC in college), you can have your first duty station and/or a specialty school written into your contract. Don't let the recruiter tell you differently!! If you know you want to go to ICU or ER, make su...

14. Airforce nursing critical shortage specialties?

    DawnEyes replied to Toby's mum's topic in Government

    That's very good to know indeed. :) I'm planning on joining the AF sometime after graduation, as well. I still haven't made a decision yet on when, though. I know I want to be a CRNA, so I could either join right after grad and have ICU course p...
