Hi All
I recently transferred to labor and delivery and really love it, but whenever I have to go back for c-sections I feel like a fish out of water. Literally my hands get cold and clammy and I break out in a cold sweat. I do ok and am told that by the staff I do ok but I can't help but feel like I am not giving the patient my all because I still feel like a foreigner in the OR and also when I take the patient to PACU where I am the only nurse as well.
Is anyone aware of a website with a quick review on OR nursing and PACU nursing?
This would be helpful and very much appreciated. I don't need a textbook since I would always only circulate in the OR and never scrub in and then recover in PACU.
Thanks to anybody who knows of any, I have looked but did not find anything short of a textbook.
