  1. University of Tulsa Nurse Anesthetist Program

    Does your application not appear under your login too at this point? Eitherway that is peculiar
  2. University of Tulsa Nurse Anesthetist Program

    So I had applied for this upcoming year and recently my completed application no longer appears under my account. Has this happened to anyone else? Does this mean anything? That I've been rejected? That my application has been processed? That s...
  3. Any way to set (regular) reminders in EPIC?

    Thanks I'll try this! I'm trying to picture this in my head, but not sure if I've seen it or not. I'm honestly leaning towards just getting a smart watch and setting up an app with that, as I'm sure it'll be easier!
  4. I recently started a new job which uses EPIC as its MAR. If I wanted to set regular reminders in my MAR (not patient specific, not something I'd have to set everyday) is there a way to do this? IE if I wanted a reminder at 10pm every shift to pop up...
  5. Leaving the OR/management for a major icu

    Well the higher expectations wasn't really because I was a manager, I'm well aware that most are out of touch and clueless. I more anticipated higher expectations because I'm an experienced nurse with 5 + years under his belt who will be a notch abo...
  6. I've worked ONLY as an operating room nurse/coordinator/manager for 5 + years, never having done bedside nursing. Later this month I will be leaving the OR to take a job in a level 1 trauma center high acuity major ICU as a beside ICU nurse. Obvious...
  7. What's the justification for having surround speakers in a room? Is there anything other than just for staff pleasure?
  8. Basically I have a fairly significant amount of influence in designing two new operating rooms in my OR, which will primarily be doing robotic/laparscopic cases. What are somethings I could ask for that you find as significantly improving your qualit...
  9. What chloraprep does everyone use?

    Well I didn't mean blotting towels even though I said it. More like towels to shove under the sides of the patient to catch drippage so it doesn't pool under the patient and be an extreme fire hazard
  10. What chloraprep does everyone use?

    Well we have the sticks as certain specialities use it. I was just wondering if there was any creative products out there for chloraprep not just sticks. Maybe a chloraprep kit similar to the betadine kits. With gloves and blotting towels all include...
  11. My hospital uses mostly betadine still, but we're trying to get everybody to use chloraprep. Other than the regular sticks, does anyone use anything else chloraprep wise for general surgery preps? I figured if we made it as simple as possible it woul...
  12. Roller board vs slider

    My hospitals roller boards don't support bariatric patients, but our slider boards do. So I don't think one or the other is preferable for heavier patients. I imagine they likely make both for larger patients
  13. Securing arms during steel reverse trendelenberd

    We never tuck at all Do you use eggcrate or foam when positioning any/most surgical cases? Or is that another bizarre habit of my facility, we use foam for everything
  14. In the last few weeks my organization has two arm/ulnar injuries after cases where the patient was in very steep reverse trendelenberd. Our current process involves using velcro and wrapping the arms in kerlix (on top of egg crate on the arm boards)...
  15. Circulator Presence on Induction?

    Ive never seen a circulator leave the room during induction (unless theyre asked to get a glidescope or something for anesthesia) But when a CRNA is inducing there is always an anesthesiologist next to them as well. Sometimes they will not need the c...
