  1. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    TravORNurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. Verbal Abuse from surgeons in the OR

    TravORNurse replied to spineCNOR's topic in Operating Room

  7. Count Sheet help

    TravORNurse replied to tareq's topic in Operating Room

    No, we don't keep count sheets in the pt chart. If the count is off from the initial count I might keep them to send to sterile processing so they know what was missing to start with. That way they...

  8. Verbal Abuse from surgeons in the OR

    TravORNurse replied to spineCNOR's topic in Operating Room

    TravORNurse replied to tareq's topic in Operating Room

    I've worked as a traveling nurse in 6 ORs and in 3 as staff. At all of the facilities we used the instrument processing sheets that came with the sets also. If there was something missing or extra...

  11. Do You Circulate All Specialties At Your Facility?

    TravORNurse replied to IsseyM's topic in Operating Room

    During my time as staff with a hospital, I worked the evening shift. Because the evening people couldn't specialize, we did everything. I think it made me a stronger nurse because now I circulate...

    TravORNurse replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Operating Room

    I am having a horrible experience in the OR at Stanford. I have gotten no support from the administrative/supervisory staff and it seems like the nurses just want to pick eachother apart. I have...

  14. Would you want your children to go into nursing?

    TravORNurse replied to 2rntish's topic in General Nursing

  16. Travel Nurse Companies

    TravORNurse replied to m_chatelaine's topic in Travel

    HRN has been one of the best for me so far. Travel Nurse Across America was good also. Medical Express/American Mobile was a nightmare and I ended up losing money working for them. I've heard good...

    TravORNurse replied to EMTPTORN's topic in Travel

    TravORNurse replied to abusedtravelnurse's topic in Travel
