  1. Surgeon and Nurse - conflict and how would you handle it? Roles of circulating nurse, scrub nurse, float nurse? Roles of Anesthesia, support workers (porters, cleaning staff) What are your strenghts? What are your weaknesses? Why should we hire your? What can you bring to the OR? Have you ever been involved with an ethical delima and how did you handle it? Be calm. Think before your speak. Do not rush your answers. Shake hands with those that interview you before you leave. Good luck and let us know how it went.
  2. decline politely and offer to take a picture form them that works for me
  3. It is great. I just finished it. My SIL lent it to me. I read Tilda's first book. I couldn't put either down. She has great humour and warmth. Enjoy
  4. Hello Try these http://www.healthstaffrecruitment.com.au http://www.canadianrn.com (gateway to nursing in Canada) http://www.cna-nurses.ca http://www.nursing-guided.com http://www.ona.org (Ontario Nurses Association * every province in Canada has there own) http://www.cno.org (College of Nurses of Ontario) Hope this helps.
  5. Case Room # Time in OR Time Anesthetic Time Surgery starts Time Surgery ends Time leave OR Time arrival to PACU Document surgeon, assistant, anesthesia, circulator and scrub nurse and anyone else in the room (sales rep for medical equipment, students, paramedics, etc) Procedure: Total abdominal hysterectomy Ditto: positioning devices, pt. position, solutions used, IV sites, foley, cautery pad and setting, count, etc...etc... Our OR record is carbon copy. Hope this helps. What are you looking for AlisonBSN? If you want a copy, let me know.
  6. Not allowed where I work.
  7. Sorry can't help you with that. What is an MDS coordinator? Curious. Thanks,
  8. Our ER dept. has 4 hr. shifts 19 -23 every F-S-S. Our OR dept. has 4 hr. shifts 10 -14 M - F (to cover breaks, lunch). The negative is that if you work past it, it isn't o/t. For o/t to accumulate you have to have worked 7.5 hr. tour or longer. Staff do not like them and we are trying to get our union to get rid of them.
  9. Our RT's in Ontario, Canada insert arterial lines. They are very good.
  10. The only ones I know of are: dilantin mannitol Are there others that someone can share? Thanks, Sarah
  11. What is on this? Can you describe it? Sarah
  12. Hi I work in Ontario at a district hospital. I am at top level for RN wage at 35.80 / hour. I have been nursing since 1993. My paystub that I just found, issued for Dec. 8, 2006 with my YTD earnings of $84 633. 71. I work in a job share position which enables me to pick up extra shifts if I want to, and rarely do in the summer. Hope this helps. Sarah
  13. VSR 10 and 14 since 0600 hrs. nightshift just did them Post op q15 min x 1 hr. q1/2 x 1 hr. then q4h. if stable x 24 hrs.
  14. As with the above post, read the book. It is important to know A-I. Get involved during the mock practices, it will help. Review the case senarios in the back of the book. Follow that process and you can not go wrong. Sarah
  15. I work with 2 ladies who had gotten a BN and MN from University of Phoenix. The one for the BN liked the delivery method and pace of the BN program. The MN one needed to obtain in order to continue to teach theory at the college/university. She found it expensive but well worth it. Hope that helps.
