  2. Anyone worked at St.Agnes?

    hondurena replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    St Agnes is also known as St Agony-- but i will keep this professional. I worked there briefly in the AICU and hated it but on the flip side their benefits are very good, and they do promote...

  5. Think I've Done All I Can for This Person?

    hondurena replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    If open cases are too much for her perhaps she do lap chole's, lap gastric bypass, lap prostates, and maybe some "lumps & bumps". Don't know if this will be fair in terms of staffing--- what are...

  6. Techs and MEDS?????

    hondurena replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

    CST's like sunnyjohn and LPN's who scrub in the OR like Marie seem to be conscientious, confident and secure in their role and very knowledgeable. I'd be comfortable knowing that you guys were...

  7. Techs and MEDS?????

    hondurena replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

    Sunnyjohn, you could'nt have said it better "vigilance" is truly important-- the OR is definitely team oriented if i am scrubbed i depend on my circulator. I must trust that my team members have...

  8. Techs and MEDS?????

    hondurena replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

  9. New OR RN needs help

    hondurena replied to RollingThunder's topic in Operating Room

    I left out one important thing----- you may find it helpful to refer to your med-surg textbook. It is said that operating room nursing is totally different IMHO certain things are basic to nursing....

  11. LPNs in OR?

    hondurena replied to Mistify's topic in Operating Room

    GLN35 I think its awesome that you get to scrub as a student great experience. Too bad many schools don't bother most nsg instruction seems to be so much based on passing NCLEX and unfortunately...

  15. OR Orientees

    hondurena replied to hondurena's topic in Operating Room

    Marie i'm assuming that you scub as an LPN in that respect RNs, LPNs, and ORTs function the same (scrubbing)--- once you get your RN should you remain in the OR you will just be oriented to the role...

    hondurena replied to ortess1971's topic in Operating Room

  17. WHY are nurses so catty??

    hondurena replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  20. Commissioning Process

    hondurena replied to PickyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Clarify things with your recruiter first. Don't know much about Navy--- but Army is "hurry up and wait" meaning hurry up to get your paper work in and loose all the weight you want then put the lbs...

    hondurena replied to robin29860's topic in First Year After Licensure
