Finally in the OR!

Specialties Operating Room

Published

I accepted a position in the OR today and I am so excited! Bedside nursing was not my cup of tea. I'm so unbelievably excited for the things to come :)

I'm doing my scrub rotation now and I feel like I suck!!! I want to just circulate at this point but I know I need to learn this skill.. So many rules and so much pressure! I'm feeling defeated

I am learning how to scrub right now too and I TOTALLY feel your pain! I feel so dumb. I can barely figure out how to hand instruments the correct way. I wish I could practice in a simulation environment because there is so much pressure to perform well during real surgeries. I also don't want to slow everyone down.

Anyway... I'm only 2 weeks in so I'm sure it will get easier with time. We just have to keep on learning and trying our best!
