  1. USA AGACNP Fall '21

    Anyone headed to South (University of South Alabama) in the Fall 2021 for Acute Care NP?? Just got accepted Friday!! Stoked!! Holler if anyone else is starting then.
  2. Hiring spouses? illegal?

    What about a scrub tech who is married to the surgeon and father in law is surgeon, too. She scrubs for both of them. They met on the job and are newly married. There have been two awkward moments one with a count and the other where a tray was quest...
  3. Curiosity Killed the Cat and Got 50 Hospital Employees Fired

    As a 17 year RN in ICU and ER, I would have known not to access any patients chart that was not in my direct care. No celebrity is worth a job, especially Smollet...Surely we are training our new nurses that this is not allowed? One should know bette...
  4. OR travel nurses

    SO, I wanna go back to my travel life. I'll just keep it short and sweet. Been an RN for 16 years. 10 years ER, 2 OR and 10 ICU. I worked ER/ICU often times concurrently so that's how the exp. works out. My 2 years of OR was 13 years ago, about 2 yea...
  5. Newbie OR Nurse

    We get 10 weeks of rotating though each service. Then we get roughly 3 months of orientation once we're assigned a team. If you have any previous experience at all you get pulled off sooner. They say orientation can be extended if need be. We are req...
  6. I concur!!! Shut it down over a year ago. Best decision I ever made. Sometimes I do miss the networking with my travel nursing and those whom I've worked with in the past but overall worth it. My whole family retired their accounts, hahaha. We're jus...
  7. Remind me NOT to go to that hospital if she's the one running it. Was that comment published? I wonder sometimes how people get in those positions. It makes zero sense. Praying it comes to fruition. We desperately need the same in the south. Thanks f...
  8. Ohio RN nurse applying to California. Denied. Help?

    Maybe do a few travel gigs to get your foot in the door. I've traveled all over CA for the last 5 years and never had a problem getting any contract. I did adult ICU both Cardiac and Surgical. I also have all the certs and alphabet soup. I know sever...
  9. Roller board vs slider

    I just wanted to say, grrrr!!!! That stinks, we all use roller boards and have no intention of going to a slider board. Slider boards are good if going from stretcher to bed but NOT OR table to stretcher! Curious as to why they changed...evidence bas...
  10. Operating Room Rules

    SO, I'm at a teaching facility. We scrub, so no nail polish and definitely no fakes of any kind, including gel, etc..ANd nails are expected to be kept short and in neat order. We can wear the cloth hat but we have to cover with the bouffant style cov...
  11. open visitation in neuro ICU

    The open visitation is irritating and somewhat dangerous. It can be very distracting to have to respond to family when administering meds, titrating gtts etc...They do not have a clue what you are doing so they think they can just ask questions and c...
  12. CVOR and travel

    Would like to know how long I'd need to spend in CVOR before I take a travel gig? I'm 16 year RN with 10 ICU (last 5 years traveling all over and and handful of strikes), 10 ER and 2 of OR (mostly vascular, gen gi and have helped circulate hearts). R...
  13. Etiquette in the OR?

    Our regular OR tables hold 675 pounds, excluding Jackson and fracture tables, of course. The bariatric certified table holds 1000. I can't believe they make on OR table that only holds 375...The noise level can get quite loud but the critical comment...
  14. A Pause at the Moment of Death: Your Thoughts

    Excellent idea. After 15 years, the last 10 of which have been in ICU, I wish this had been thought of sooner. I'm now in an OR at a teaching facility where we do a lot of transplants. Nothing could be more appropriate than prior to operating/harvest...
  15. I did not make that assumption, you did. I simply stated 'God has made a plan for your life'. I suppose if she passes boards it was meant to be. Do you think the way things play out is His will being executed or not? Do you really think you can do an...
