  1. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    I actually go to school in their city on the Utah/Arizona boarder. They call themselves sister-wives. It does become very difficult in certain situations. I work in the OR and we have to have a parent...
  2. Can I ask you a question?

    Okay, two questions. I have to do this survey for a Psych class I am taking and need 12 responses. If you wouldn't mind, I would be very appreciative. 1)What do you worry about most? (Can be as many...

  5. Ghostly presences in the hospitals?

    Okay, I know this one sounds strange, but hear me out. We just moved into a brand new hospital, and the locker room (to the OR) always sounds like there is someone in there changing (Lockers closing,...
  6. Stolen scrubs

    I work in an OR and everyone is constantly stealing our scrubs. Everyone thinks one pair won't hurt. But when everyone in town thinks the same thing, it really deplenishes the supply. It is almost a...
  7. Alan, as I read this I thought "Does he work at my hospital?" Then I noticed your location, and though I won't mention any names, there is one major provider here, and I think we both work (or worked)...
  8. Anyone got 75 questions on Nclex and failed.

    Not to be a downer, but a coworker of mine who JUST passed the NCLEX (on on his 4th try), failed one of those times with taking only 75 questions. I don't know this to be true, but I heard you can...
  9. A, B or C?

    Don't have it myself. But I did see first hand discrimination for it. A coworker found out she had Hep B after several years working in the OR. She was a scrub tech, and once they found out she had...
  10. OR nursing possible?

    I know if you work in the OR at my facility as a CNA or scrub tech when you recieve your RN you go directly to circulating (an RN in the OR). I don't believe they will hire a new RN grad with no OR...
  11. OR nursing possible?

  13. Did You Know???

    I thought about licking my elbow, decided it was to make us look like fools. But now after reading everyone's replies, I want to try it, just to see if I
  14. Arizona Program??

    From their website: "The Nurse Anesthesia Program has applied for initial accreditation from the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA)." How hard is it to recieve...
  15. The only write ups I have had were ridiculous. Once about 6 years ago working in LTC a patient had washed her face with a wash cloth and hung it on the rail in her bathroom. I was written up for not...
  16. I am writting a paper for an English class and decided to do it on CRNA vs. MDA debate. I know this is a hot topic, (that is what my professor is looking for)and I don't want to start yet another...
  17. Info on the ongoing "debate"

    Thanks for your reply Berliner. I have worked in the OR for 5 years. When I started we had 2 CRNAs and 6 Anesthesiologists. I kept hearing rumor of the battle between the two (with on MDA in...

  19. Pregnancy and Nursing School

    Just another thought. I had an uncomplicated pregnancy. In fact, I loved every minute of being pregnant, no morning sickness, ect. When, out of the blue, my water broke at 7 months. No explanation for...
  20. Clogs <dansko?>

    Be careful when buying colored clogs. A bunch of my coworkers and I bought clogs (KLOGS brand), I asked when I bought them about fading. I was told all of the clogs were painted, yes PAINTED! So I...

  23. past mistakes

    I have a friend who recieved her RN 2 years ago. She had a felony that was around 10 yrs old at the time. You need to be honest about it, and let them know if there was an explainable reason behind...
  24. I think I'm done!

    I agree with dphrn. I have worked many different places, and until I left the floor and went to a specialty area (O.R.) felt exactly as you do. I dreaded the thought of having to drag myself to work...
