  1. How much OR experience do you need?

    FlyOR replied to FlyOR's topic in Operating Room

    So basically 2-2.5 years. That's kind of what I thought too. Would you say that the CNOR would add to that, meaning would you be competitive with a 6 year experienced nurse who didn't have the CNOR?...

  2. set up how do i proceed to work with these people

    FlyOR replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

    How much experience and what kind do you have? The reason I am asking is there is one fact here: OR nurses take a long time to train. They aren't just laying around out there. I realize that no...

  3. Scrub tech breaking scrub without permission

    FlyOR replied to nmred's topic in Operating Room

    If everything that you are saying happened, and you have corroboration from other people, you now need a lawyer. You need to make an appointment with HR, and tell them that you're bringing your...

  4. differences between or nursing in usa and uk

    FlyOR replied to fusionfire32's topic in Operating Room

    We-ell, I will give this a shot. I work at a 20+ room OR in the states and it sounds somewhat similar, just the names change. Ours is a teaching hospital, so usually the surgeons have a Fellow/...

  5. Perioperative Nurse Intern......

    FlyOR replied to LuvScrubs2's topic in Operating Room

    Christiana Hospital in DE usually offers a Periop program at least 1x/year. I do know that Christiana considers themselves "overstaffed" at this time, but if you wait I know that they like to "grow...

  6. Periop RN marketability

    FlyOR replied to CW1978's topic in Operating Room

    I guess I am wondering about what your goal is in nursing. The OR is not the place to escape the needs of the patient. If anything you need to be more intuitive. You are that patient's defense...

  7. Why do you put up with the abuse?

    FlyOR replied to lilla_fjaril's topic in Operating Room

    I don't disagree with anything that you have written. Upon starting the OR, I was amazed that people with so many psychoses could congregate in one space. Cold, hard facts? It's a lousy economy,...

  8. Changing jobs

    FlyOR posted a topic in Operating Room

    Hello all, it's me again needing advice! So I really love what I am doing. I love the OR, I really like the hospital I work for and I am looking forward to the completion of my first year....

  9. Changing jobs

    FlyOR replied to FlyOR's topic in Operating Room

    Thank you for the replies. My problem isn't really the hours that I work, it's more the amount of days. For some reason my OR is just bullheaded about keeping new people to 7-1530 five days a week....

  10. Question for Those Experienced!!!

    FlyOR replied to U12beme's topic in Operating Room

    Would anyone comment on the best specialties to be proficient in? I am able to scrub and circulate and soon I am going to have to choose a specialty. My hospital moves everyone through every...

  11. Beginning Periop course

    FlyOR posted a topic in Operating Room

    Hello All, I have learned so much from this site, it has given me a clear idea of where I want to be in nursing, and what it will take to get there. I am an RN now, passed the NCLEX in June. Due to...

  13. New and tired

    FlyOR posted a topic in Operating Room

    I need some feedback from relatively new OR nurses on their orientation and hours. I feel like a jerk, I am about to complain about a schedule that new grads dream about. It's five days per week,...

    FlyOR replied to FlyOR's topic in Operating Room

    Thank you very much for the advice and links. I have been repeating Slow is smooth, smooth is fast to myself. Thanks for the support. It means a

  15. relatively new and stressed

    FlyOR replied to Ames24's topic in Operating Room

    Hi Ames, Well we have a lot in common. Here's the deal, and what I try to focus on when the people in the OR get me down. How do you feel about the actual work of the OR? Do you like being...

  16. New and tired

    FlyOR replied to FlyOR's topic in Operating Room

    Assuming that I get through the orientation, a different schedule is possible and believe me, I am counting down the days. Like I said, I feel like a jerk. This is a really great hospital, and most...

  17. New and tired

    FlyOR replied to FlyOR's topic in Operating Room

    Thank you all for such kind replies. I've been reading the First Year Nursing board and if anything it just makes me feel like I've got nothing to complain about. I knew that going to the OR was...

  18. R U Serious.Signing Out for lunch...

    FlyOR replied to TopazChick81's topic in Operating Room

    I have only been in the OR for a short time, but I am perplexed by something Nursing-wide anyway. What's up with the time clock? I have three degrees now, and I have never had to punch a time clock...

  19. Independent Route to the OR-my result

    FlyOR posted a topic in Operating Room

    Hello all. I promised I would recount my experience on my independent route to the OR. There is only one hospital in my area that has an internship to the OR for new nurses and I got close to a...

  20. OK who else is dealing with Universal Protocol?

    FlyOR replied to sbnursing's topic in Operating Room

    I am a new RN coming from an aviation background and while I understand the frustration of change and concern about time that the new protocols take, but I can tell you where they're coming from....

    FlyOR replied to FlyOR's topic in Operating Room

    Hi Kerry, I am going to get back to you, since I really can't comment yet. I will tell you that the material is fascinating and different from nursing school. The class environment is vastly...

  22. Beginning Periop course

    FlyOR replied to FlyOR's topic in Operating Room

    They are not plentiful, as far as I can see. The way that I found out about mine was through the internship that I was interested in. They use this college. After the internship was over you owed...

    This is my first post. I have been lurking for quite some time and I thank you all very much for the vast amount of information that is here. This is where I learned that I want very much to be an OR...

    FlyOR replied to FlyOR's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am truly grateful for all of you and the information that you have provided. This issue is a very difficult one. When I went into nursing I only had the idea that I would help save lives. I have...

  25. Sensitive Subject: D&E in OR

    FlyOR replied to FlyOR's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So if I understand this right, you're talking about a membrane rupture that could be repaired but instead is aborted? Sorry if this is stupid, once again, new to all of
