  1. Consent issue

    TurismoDreamin posted a topic in Operating Room

    So I wanted to get people's feedback on this. My hospital originally had one consent which covered the surgery and anesthesia. Now, we have a separate consent for the surgical procedure (wording had...

  2. Consent issue

    TurismoDreamin replied to TurismoDreamin's topic in Operating Room

    And that's absolutely my concern. I spoke with my team leader today and she just said to go ahead and fill out a variance anyway so I did. But she said that it's still covered under the operative...

  3. Suction cannister disposal required?

    TurismoDreamin replied to NedRN's topic in Operating Room

    I personally change them out all the time, every time. For MAC's or mod/sed's, they're usually set up, but set off to the side just in case we need to use them and that's the only instance where I...

    TurismoDreamin replied to nique281's topic in Operating Room

    I live in the Midwest (or South depending on who you ask), am a new grad, and got hired on to the OR. There are also 5-6 other new grads orientating with me in the OR as well as 2 travelers, 3...

  5. When to reposition the pregnant mother. NCLEX tomorrow!

    TurismoDreamin posted a topic in General Students

    I am trying to study for NCLEX and can't find many instances in my notes or the book where you would need to reposition the mother. Since OB was never my forte, I'm struggling to remember when it...

  6. When to reposition the pregnant mother. NCLEX tomorrow!

    TurismoDreamin replied to TurismoDreamin's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone! I took my NCLEX on Thursday 2/24: 75 questions with 7 of those being SATA questions. Our board of nursing must work fast or something because I checked under license verification...

  7. Reasons for hemorrhage post CPR

    TurismoDreamin posted a topic in General Students

    I was taking care of a lady a while back in the ICU and I decided to wait for some time to pass to ask this question here. It was my first day of clinicals for the semester and what better way to...

  8. My first care plan

    TurismoDreamin replied to RadioJenn's topic in General Students

  9. ATI questions

    TurismoDreamin posted a topic in General Students

    So our school is making the switch to ATI and moving away from ERI. We will be the first class to take it. I was just wondering if during the proctored tests if they are similar to the practice tests...

  10. From Nursing to Dentistry (DDS)

    TurismoDreamin posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I've come to the conclusion that nursing just is not for me. I hate the work and am overall, just not very happy with where I am at in terms of a career. Mind you, I am currently a student still in...

  13. 3 nurses laid off

    TurismoDreamin replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Firstly, I highly doubt that there will ever be a health care crisis that results in lay offs because of the imbalance between supply and demand. Sure there are plenty of fluctuations, but you can...

  14. Anyone heard of Diastolic BP being higher than Systolic???

    TurismoDreamin replied to WSU_Ally_RN's topic in General Nursing

    NCLEX question: As a nurse, my initial response to this woman would be: (A) Assess the patient for mental retardation (B) Assess the patient for dyslexia © Both A and B (D) Neither A nor

  15. 3 nurses laid off

    TurismoDreamin replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Under that same token, how convenient must it be that you can be laid off from a field in such high demand that it doesn't take any time at all to find another job. Certainly the times now are rough,...

    TurismoDreamin replied to 2bRnKim's topic in Oklahoma Nursing
