drive time

I am applying for a position in the OR tomarrow and was wondering how far do you think is too far for an OR nurse to live from the hospital. I have heard thirty minutes or so.

    Varies facility to facility and specialty to specialty. I have 30 minutes from the time I receive the call to be in the room. That includes driving, parking, walking to the locker room, and changing. Heart team (not here where they also have 30 minutes, but at nearby hospital) has response time of 20 minutes.

    At our facility you need to be in-house and ready to go in thirty minutes. Those who live too far away take their call in-house. We're lucky in that we are pretty well staffed and don't have to take an awful lot of call.

    We also have an apartment that those living more than 30 minutes away can use, shared with anesthesia staff and the residents, so they don't actually have to take call and sit in the OR itself. (Not that I'd ever stay there, apparently the fridge is growing things from the food people leave behind.)

    We have 30 minutes from getting the call to be in the OR and fully check in the patient. So we have to call SPD while we are driving in
