  1. Yet another burnout thread

    I have been an OR nurse for many yrs now. I worked in a hospital with 5 OR's and a serious micromanager. I left there and went to a larger hospital and loved it. There were a bunch of rules but...
  2. Can't we all just get along

    Yep. Not an easy task for me. Surely I can do long enough to find another
  3. Can't we all just get along

    Oh...I have better....since I have brought these issues to the attention of our surgeons, I have been given a final notice (which means...and she wrote it out...if I talk to any staff or surgeon about...
  4. Can't we all just get along

  5. Can't we all just get along

    Sadly, I have blown my top! (a few times). It is pidly garbage. I can honestly say that I have NEVER emailed or visited the mgr with anything that was not pt safety related. Even worse.....I can mark...

  9. Can't we all just get along

    Can't we all just get along????NO!!!!The dept I work in is fairly small. What is aggravating is the attitudes of goody-2-shoes nurses that think there is no need to place blame or discover the real...
  10. Does your OR have an educator?

    Wow!! We may work in the same OR. Our educator does NOTHING!!! She eats alot of p'nut butter and crackers and makes LOTS of posters and signs. (like any of us have time to read them!) Or for that...

    Some things I have already made copies of. I learned the hard way that some occurence screens seem to
  12. frenemies

    Thanks for the valuble info. I intend to seek legal counsel in the am. I am not sure if I should resign (not already having another job) or quietly ride it out until I get all my ducks in a row....

    How do you handle frenemies in the OR? I know it is always hard for a group of (primarily) women to all get along. I work with nurses that engage you in conversations about issues with-in the...
