    Am I looking at OR nursing the right way?

    Rose_Queen replied to ColoradoRocky's topic in Operating Room

    My first question is what were you focused on during your OR experiences? A lot of the people I've dealt with are not focusing on the duties of the nurse, but rather on the surgery itself. If that's...
