    Hard Time Finding OR Jobs

    Definitely keep your eye out for OR residency programs, Also, look into any schools that offer the PeriOp101 program. Some do, you will have to pay out of your pocket, but once clinical/final exam is completed you will have an easier time.

    Linen between local only procedures

    When I work in the pain clinic side as opposed to being assigned an OR, that is exactly what we do. We will se an upwards of 24 pts per day and will fill a dedicated linen bin. If I am in an OR, the linen goes down after each case.

    Periop 101 books/ resources

    What are medics doing in your ED?

    I am sure that it is different depending on the hospital system. In the field, medics can give almost 125 medications independently and do a few interventions that even us RN's can't do such as intubation, king tubes, cardiovert, pace. Medics do tho...
