  1. "I was seriously thinking of joining AORN to help with advice and networking. I see for a standard membership it is $125.00. If I do it I will see it as an investment in my future and know that it is a step in the right direction." It could be the ...
  2. I would apply to other hospitals even if they don't advertise OR residency programs. There are so many hospitals in the NYC, just keep trying. You mentioned Princeton. Do you live in Jersey? Just curious. I'm originally from NY but live in NC now. Al...
  3. "Neutral" sharps passing zone

    I've seen the orange plastic "thingy" at my previous hospital. Everyone hated it and hardly used it.
  4. OR Nurse Educator

    I hate using "uh" and "hum", but unfortunately, they still come out on occasion. Thanks!
  5. OR Nurse Educator

    I like this idea. I had never thought of that. It might have helped in my job interview last July. At a different interview I had given the nurse manager a copy of my MSN Capstone project to show her what I was capable of; plus it showed photos of me...
  6. OR Nurse Educator

    Any OR Nurse Educators out there? I've been trying to find a job since I completed my MSN. I had one job interview in July and didn't get it. However, I now have a phone interview on Friday (it's a start) for a job that I didn't apply for (applied fo...
  7. CNOR

    I concur! I would suggest getting the AORN Standards & Recommended Practices to study. When I took the exam, a lot of the questions were based from this book.
  8. I just had to rant

    I think it's the dishonesty that gets to me... partly because she's always using her pregnancy as an excuse for everything.
  9. I just had to rant

    So you wouldn't get angry that someone used you? I see that highly unlikely. Who cares? glad you have $50 to give someone so easily. If you were in the OR on call and stuck there, you wouldn't be upset? You're a very rare person. You should come wor...
  10. I just had to rant

    Two weeks ago or so, I was asked/begged to take a surg tech's call because she had to do something important after work... she is a high risk pregnancy. Anyway, it was busy all day and people had to stay late. I saw her in the hallway and found out f...
  11. Electro dispersive pads over tattoo's

    You are not supposed to place grounding pads on tattoos because of both reasons already mentioned. Although newer tattoo inks supposedly do not have metal, it is still good practice to assume that all tattoos contain metal. I also think that tatoos a...
  12. Unlicensed OR personnel

    There is no license, only certification.
  13. All my documentation is missing....

    All I can say is WOW! Glad you're standing up for what's right! Also, do what caliotter3 wrote, it's a very smart idea. Keep us posted!
  14. calling report to ct icu.. to the secretary?

    It's also a confidentiality issue. Only the nurse taking care of the patient either in PACU or a unit should know the specifics. The unit secretary doesn't need to know anything. HIPAA.
  15. Unlicensed OR personnel

    Otis Elevator... LOL.. that's funny!
