  1. Steroids before surgery?

    mare-mare replied to bioniclewoman's topic in Operating Room

    Where I work, as a general rule anesthesia and surgeons really don't like people to be on steroids before surgery, unless of course they are long time steroid users. Actually, I just had surgery (18...

  2. Can a surg. tech. "circulate" a case -give medications?

    mare-mare replied to Linda J's topic in Operating Room

    General society does not know what the difference is between a LPN or an RN. They think "nurse" means registered nurse, look at studies it's a fact. When you tell people that you are a "nurse" they...

  3. Can a surg. tech. "circulate" a case -give medications?

    mare-mare replied to Linda J's topic in Operating Room

    Boy, what a heated thread! Ok, I work with some awsome CSTs and I work with some horrible ones too, just as I work with some awsome nurses and some terrible ones also. Carcha has said that CST's are...

  4. STAPLED drape to patient?!?!

    mare-mare replied to truern's topic in Operating Room

    I cringe everytime I see a surgeon staple a drape to a patient, but by and large only our general surgeons do it. They say that sticky drapes just don't cut it and they want the towels to stay where...

  7. preceptor stories

    mare-mare replied to Simone Hill's topic in Operating Room

    I went into the OR a little over a year ago, yep straight out of nursing school, and I love it. I do get a lot of flack (for being the baby mostly), but I also get a lot of support. I have no problem...

  8. "The View" insults nursing

    mare-mare replied to SandySummers's topic in General Nursing

    I too wrote a letter because of all the reasons everyone has said. We need to demand respect for our professions, other professions that require far less education and devotion would never be...

  10. What Freaks You Out?

    mare-mare replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    At work we often discusse the grossest thing we have ever seen at work, well one nurse won hands down (even worse than the chicken feathers) She was taking care of a disoriented older man with many,...
