GotTraumaRN

Volunteer to take on difficult cases, be professional at all times, instead of just hanging out when you don't have an assignment, go into a room and help the other nurses (even the ones you don't like) and don't complain. In a short period of time, the experienced nurses will respect your skills, and your attitude, then they'll respect you. I know it's hard but I've been an OR RN for 12 years and this formula works...it really does. Hang in there!

Anyone else out there working in a hospital where they are "conserving" OR masks? Our leaders have decided that we need to start conserving masks and have placed them in 1 central location so they can make sure people don't waste them. They say its related to a national back order. Just wonder who else out there is working in a hospital doing this?

I was taught that you test the foley balloon prior to insertion to make sure it DEFLATES...that's the important part.
