If you get a copy would you mind sending me one. I too work in the OR and nothing seems to line up to our service. I can't get help from my supervisor because everything is a big secret. [email protected]

I'm sorry that things are not going well. I have worked in a couple of different ORs and they all have been the same. It usually takes at least a year to become baseline competent and a solid 2-2.5 to get good at certain things. It will get better. In the OR we are all a little bit crazy. My suggestion is if there is a particular person that is giving you grief pull them to the side and ask them what they think that you could specifically improve on. If you try to do things their way for a while they can't be mad at you. You have enough experience in nursing that you can add value to their department. Stay strong!

Hello everyone. I'm still fairly new to the VA after starting in private practice a few years ago. Nursing is my second career after spending most of my life in the military. I've got to say that I was extremely naive when I came to the VA. I thought I was here to help my brother and sister vets. I was so wrong. It seems like my management is mostly concerned "optics" and "playing the game'. At my facility there are a few "keepers of knowledge". I was hired as a 2 step 3 and I am finding it nearly impossible to get help finding out what my board wants from my eval. It's almost as if someone gets promoted it makes others who have been around longer look bad. I am so frustrated. Any inputs or suggestions would be helpful. Examples would be awesome.
