  1. Role of LPN in OR

    KayceeCA replied to yoo jin's topic in Operating Room

    I've worked with quite a few LPN's who scrubbed. Quite a few of them were travel nurses. I don't know if any states allow LPN's to

  2. Is an unmonitored sterile field considered sterile?

    KayceeCA replied to buck70's topic in Operating Room

    The difference between a room that has been open for hours and attended versus a room that has been open and unattended is me - it's part of my job, as well as the rest of the team in that room, to...

  3. Is an unmonitored sterile field considered sterile?

    KayceeCA replied to buck70's topic in Operating Room

    Our policy was always to have available staff monitor the setup or, if no staff was available, tape the door shut. I personally wouldn't be comfortable with an umonitored setup in a room that hadn't...

  4. Spine Surgery so Scary

    KayceeCA replied to sheisbb's topic in Operating Room

    I've never scrubbed spines (the only thing I like to scrub is hearts - yeah, I'm crazy) but I love circulating spines. Maybe it's just my experience - excellent surgeons and really helpful

  5. OR Internship

    KayceeCA replied to nessajune21's topic in Operating Room

    My OR internship (in Kentucky) took both ADN's and

  6. Jewelry in the OR

    KayceeCA replied to quetepye's topic in Operating Room

    OK, for all you experienced OR nurses...what's the worst jewelry/piercing you've had to remove? I always thought tongue piercings were the worst to get out - until we had a trauma patient with a...

  7. OR travel nursing

    KayceeCA replied to forest2525's topic in Operating Room

    I've never been a travel nurse, but I've worked with several in the OR. I think your concerns are legitimate. The travel nurses I've worked with definitely had the problems you listed. One of the...

  8. Is it FATE???

    KayceeCA replied to LUVtxNursing's topic in Operating Room

    I totally agree about getting a spiral and writing everything down. I can't tell you how many people have asked to make copies of the spirals I've kept. It's so hard to remember what each surgeon...

  9. OR positions for new grads?

    KayceeCA replied to NatashaFromOregon's topic in Operating Room

    I was lucky because I knew that I wanted to do OR nursing early on, when I was still in nursing school. I got a job as a patient care tech in the OR while I was in school and that hospital hired me as...

  10. Is it bad etiquette to accept extra money from a coworker who wants you to take call?

    KayceeCA replied to linda2097's topic in Operating Room

    I don't think it's bad etiquette, but I've never seen anyone accept money to take someone's call. Usually they just make a trade. Also, in the places I've worked I've noticed two kinds of people -...

  11. Advice from the vets please

    KayceeCA replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

    From what I've seen, the people who jump in and start doing things are the ones who get accepted. The ones who hold back, act like they're not interested in the cases or the other members of the team,...

  12. OR Music

    KayceeCA replied to NiteRocker's topic in Operating Room

    Just my personal observations...orthopods seem to prefer metal/heavier rap, plastics guys prefer 80's or techno, hearts prefer classic rock or country, general same as hearts - classic rock or...
