   Can I be an OR nurse once again?

   nurseee24 replied to DYMaui's topic in Operating Room

   I guess I don't see why you wouldn't be able to! I would go into it of course with an open mind/attitude as things have definitely changed....but if you're a quick learner, I am not sure why someone would not welcome you back into the OR!

   SCDs on vascular patients

   nurseee24 replied to Guest 1152923's topic in Operating Room

   At my facility, we usually do not put SCDs on our lower extremity vascular surgery pts, even if its just something endovascular... this has a lot to do with our surgeon groups preference though. If it is a carotid or something upper extremity, we gen...

   Question- OR to PACU

   nurseee24 replied to Birdsofprey's topic in Operating Room

   I work in the OR currently...however, I did start at my hospital as a new grad in the PACU. I do not think I would recommend any do that, as I feel like I struggled because I did not have any sort of baseline. I agree with above though, that it is fa...

   nurseee24 replied to emtb2rn's topic in General Nursing

   Some of these results are just incredible. I'm a new nurse and I still get a little nervous about anything more than a just a little bit out of the norm. lol

    LVN Charge nurse with no LTC Exp is it worth it?

    nurseee24 replied to Life22feb's topic in General Nursing

    I was a charge nurse for a LTC facility as a brand new LPN, before I became an RN. I took care of 50 residents by myself, with the help of a med tech and 4-5 CNAs. Luckily, most of the people I worked with were wonderful...as a charge nurse, if you h...

    "Overhire"

    nurseee24 replied to nurseee24's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. I did not think that I was coming off like that. I specifically said "it seems like" & that I planned to talk with my manager about it. That is actually why I wrote this post in the first place...because I am not sure.

    "Overhire"

    nurseee24 replied to nurseee24's topic in General Nursing

    The charge nurse did not elaborate, however that is what it seems like (from talking with other people with hospital experience, starting at the same hospital). It just seems like the word has been used very negatively, overall. I just do not want to...
