  3. Have any OR Travelers taken the PBDS?

    Alisabeth replied to calliesmom96's topic in Travel

    Alisabeth replied to dac111's topic in Operating Room

    Alisabeth replied to galenanurse's topic in Operating Room

    I met my husband in the OR. I started as a new grad in 2006 and we met shortly after I started working there. He only has 2 neurosurgery days a week, so it's not like I had to be around him every day....

    Alisabeth replied to nursebrandie28's topic in Travel
