We currently use disposable bovie pads and are looking at switching to the Megadyne gel pads. Would love to hear your feedback regarding likes and dislikes of each.

My biggest pet peeve in the OR is when a surgeon sends you running for something, you quickly get it, open it, and then it just sits there on the field. They never use it!! That drives me BONKERS!!!
Not completely true...Yes there is a lot of paper writing but you also learn more about whole person nursing, critically thinking, and using research guided nursing practices.
I completely understand your frustration. I worked as a scrub tech for 7 years (4 of which I was in nursing school). I am now an RN in the OR, I have a bachelor's degree and I work at a Magnet hospital. Our supervisors must have at least a bachelor's...
In our ORs, reps are not allowed to open implants or instruments; however, some reps continue to open things when permission is granted by the circulator.
