    Scope of practice in the OR, am I the only one that sees a problem with this?

    Rose_Queen replied to jamiebell's topic in General Nursing

    It really boils down to training. Unlike the RN, the ST in most states will not have a legally defined scope of practice. We do allow our STs to suture provided they complete our established process,...

    The expectation is that staff are removing blood and bioburden during the procedure with sterile water. At the end of the case, the instruments are checked for a need for another rinse. They are...

    What do I do? What would you do?

    Rose_Queen replied to Junebug59's topic in Operating Room

    Sadly this is nothing new in nursing. Loyalty doesn't mean much anymore. In order to get a boost in pay, you pretty much need to go elsewhere. There is so much focus on recruitment, but nowhere near...

    Nursing Student Question

    Rose_Queen replied to Cinthia L's topic in Operating Room

    Someone who understands that it's going to be a steep learning curve and grasps that they don't know much. I'd much rather hear an interviewee tell me they don't know how to use a bovie rather than...

    Nursing Student Question

    Rose_Queen replied to Cinthia L's topic in Operating Room

    Chaining Stopcocks instead of Y-Siting Multiple Lines?

    Rose_Queen replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Critical Care

    Part of that second photo looks like what we use in our critical patient drips in the OR- a pre-manufactured manifold with 3 stopcocks, each with a port for a line to connect. It just looks like they...

    Rose_Queen replied to MRaza's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Up until a few years ago, it didn't matter what your degree was where I work. There is now a decent boost to have a BSN- they are up one pay grade over diploma/ADN. BSN + certification required for...
