You're right Ac caring & sweet RN the waiting is the worst!

I had my interview today and I have a really good feeling about it! I was told I should hear within a week or two. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Ummm, because not everyone wants to be a CRNA

Thanks and 4_Sq & MissM! My stomach is in knots and its still 3 days away. :nailbiting:

Thanks guys, yes I plan in researching the company job, etc, I'm a member of AORN and read the magazine to try to learn about the OR, even if some of it seems over my head. I'm practicing...

I finally landed an interview for a surgery position I've been networking for 2 year to get. I'm want this so bad I'm afraid he's going to smell the desperation on me. lol I've been doing med/surg...

Thanks Kguil, I appreciate your post, the hospitals here don't have traditional internships, if no one applies for the OR positions with experiance then they will put the new hires through peri-op...

I've been trying to get on with a teaching hospital for 2 year with no luck. I feel like I've failed. I know I can't give up...but I don't know what else to do.

I would gladly take peri-op 101 but the only way to take that here is to have a hospital hire you and put you through the class. I wish there was a way to specialize in it in school because it truly...

Thanks kguil, I will try that but I'm not confidant. My hospital has a reputation for not bending on their requirement rules. (ie 2 year OR experience for OR job etc.)

I want to be a circulating nurse, it's why I returned to nursing school. I was unable to find a job in the OR when I finished school so I took a telemetry job. I've been on the floor for 2 years and...

Yes, I really did want to know the color of your poop.

Thanks for all the replies, I'm glad to see that it does happen, that there are some that will wear the mask and stand their ground.

Who said I was fed up? You may disagree with my reason, but it still MY reason. I think that fighting for what I believe in is important. I'm not quitting bedside nursing just because I disagree with...

LadyMystic, My first position after graduation was a position that advertised 1 year floor experiance required. Some hospital are firm on their requirements others are not. Put in your application...

Thanks for your posts, as I stated originally, I don't want to turn this into a Vaccine debate. I have made my decision regarding it, and no evidence based studies have shown that mandatory...

I don't want to turn this in to a debate regarding the flu shot. I have made my opinion and until some more evidence based studies are performed I don't want to get it. Up until now I have been...

Wow, that post brought tears to my eyes. Many of the Doctors I come in contact with are so mean and grouchy, it warms me to the core to think that some doctors actually appreciate nurses.

Thanks Becca, I'm not going to give up, I was just feeling demoralized and needed to vent. It really irked me that a new grad got the job when I have been working at this hospital for a year. I...

I'm feeling very discouraged, the reason I went to nursing school was becasue I wanted to be a circulating nurse. When I was a new grad, I got and interview for the OR, I didn't get it because I...

I have the manger's email address and snail mail. Where do you think is the best place to send the "thank you for your time and consideration" letter. Email or Address?

nothing?

Anyone have any advise regarding and operating room interview? What might an operating room nurse manager be concered with? For example when I had the interview for my current telemetry position I...

I take the NCLEX tomorrow. Starting to panic. I'm going pretty well all the practice test question. I'm doing the Hurst Q review and the questions from the LaCharity book. Deep breaths.
