    Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    Rose_Queen replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn’t say scared but really more uncomfortable- donation after cardiac death. In the OR, we just don’t deal with comfort care, but that’s what these patients get in the OR after they’ve...

    Rose_Queen replied to Twm2021's topic in General Nursing

    Well. It’s a safety check. Does the consent match what the patient says they’re having done match the H&P? What other quick tidbits can be gleaned from a quick look through the H&P? In my...

    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    Rose_Queen replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    No, but again, if a nurse only stays with the organization for 1 year, that’s more costs the organization has to put out. And isn’t reimbursed for. I’m not a fan of new grad contracts personally...

    100K seems high. We do a 25 week orientation for new OR nurses. At 40 hours per week (all of our orientees do orient 7-3 M-F up until the last couple of weeks) with the starting RN pay about $26.50,...

    Pull out the standards to back you up. If they still won’t make a change, then they’ve shown their “dedication” to safety and it may be time to move

    This is what is in the 2017-2018 standards (my current year book is.. at work): Wow. That copied weird. But standards say 2 RNs, one of them Phase I recovery competent. Either the OR nurse...

    Rose_Queen replied to rcb114's topic in Operating Room

    As a traveler, the expectation is that you will be up and running independently from the get go. Without that experience on your resume, it's unlikely a place in need of someone who can cover that is...

    Rose_Queen replied to Ready4theOR's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Ask 20 nurses this question, and you'll get at least 20 answers if not more. A lot of people swear by Danskos, but they literally kill my feet. Get something comfortable- you could even go to some of...
