  1. Surgeon's Preference Card

    Good to read about preference cards/fad books and how we all end up the same but different approaches. Where I work we have migrated from the "Floppy disc" (last century!) to the USB stick. Eventually it will be totally computerised I guess. Each sur...
  2. Nurses Week

    Just reading through a few of the comments is giving me ideas for next year. So thanks for that all of you. We're a tad behind with the "celebrate all week" thing in my part of the world but something we could work on cultivating I am sure. We start ...
  3. Please tell me how to learn to circulate!!!!

    I go along with having a pocket book too. Don't worry about the comments or funny looks - they may be stuck in quagmire of their own making and apathetic as to how to get out. People who are new to OR come in with fresh eyes and ideas. I fully unders...
  4. Surgeon's Preference Card

    We still use the hand written one and it is my job along with my Charge Nurse to maintain the acurateness of them. I recently updated the Registrars folder and made that a KISS one. Operation (in a plastic sleeve) on one side in an A4 folder and on ...

  7. age of an OR nurse?

    Age should never be a barrier! You are as young/old as you feel. Somedays you will feel is it worth it and other days you'll be saying, I'm glad I made the change. Go for it, you only live life once so make the change.
  8. Advice For Nurse New To The Or

    Welcome, new to the OR, you're going to love it if you can get over the first 6 months. Some good advice a surgeon gave to his registrars/interns years ago (yes, some of them do give out good advice) was " to search out the LPN/EN who has been there ...
  9. Where do you put your used sponges? L&D RN in NJ

    With some of the responses I am wondering how big your OR rooms are and what type of surgery you do? I am picturing our OR room when it is packed with equipment, people and the patient (I know Patient should always be first!) and I can't imagine spac...
