Future O.R. Nurse

Oh! Don't get me wrong. I want to be a nurse for other reasons. I also found that Surgical Tech's do not have a voice in the O.R. I was unable to advocate for my patient during an assignment as a Surgical Tech. This angered me so much. I was thrown u...

I am wondering the same thing. I have been under review for 2 weeks now. Who do we go to see about that?

BTW...........Congratulations! We are no longer hopefuls, we are R.N. Students!!:yeah::clpty::clpty::dncgbby::dancgrp::anpom::ancong!::stdnrsrck:

Hello, I just thought I'd drop some info on the worksource program. I went earlier this month to the orientation. Got all my paperwork in and they pay up to $7000 dollars for the R.N. Program. All the paperwork they ask for is already in your posessi...

I am a Surgical Tech. My passion is in the O.R. I found that there were not enough jobs for ST. and I was crushed. I decided to go into the nursing program, with the intention of going back into the O.R. However, I loved the hands on surgery with the...

I am interested in O.R. nursing. I love the one on one patient contact. Something different and exciting everyday. I am also a Surgical Technologist and only changed my career path so that I can advocate for my patients without fear of losing my job.

I would suggest that maybe between cases, grab a quick snack. Do not take a lunch break in the middle of a case. I think so many things can go wrong and you can be blamed for when working with difficult people. If you started the case, finish it! Had...

O.k. Forgive me, now I understand, she was new to the O.R. on orientation. Did she have a preceptor or did she do the TAH on her own? That is a big case when you are just starting out.

Yes, I totally agree with you! It is not ideal in every situation, nonetheless, it is a very important aspect to have practically mastered before you go into the O.R. and I stress practically. When I started out as a CST my biggest fear was all tho...

that is a hot mess!! smdh!

NO YOU WIN!!

Just wondering, aren't we trained to count needles laps and anything countable before surgery, during and after?:confused: This is one of the biggest safety issues in the O.R. and counting is where a lot of the hands on training is concentrated. Pard...

I am a pre-nursing student and have been following this thread for sometime now. I am also a Surgical Technologist. I am a minority with very good grades and a very high GPA. I applied for and I was accepted into the Diversity Program. I believe I wo...

Hello, I am a Nursing Student in Jacksonville, Florida. I am also a Surgical Technologist. I have a mid-term due on Monday. Part of this project is to interview an Operating Room Nurse for about 10 minutes regarding the job. I know I can do this ...

Bleeding from the eyes suggests that her cappilaries had some kind of pressure on them. Everyone knows that the capillaries are the smallest veins that branch off larger veins. Sometimes a small scratch on your arm can cause a bruise. Brusing is t...

Thank you so much. I found someone in my church who has been a nurse for forty years. She helped me through the mid-term paper. That was so nice and thoughtful of you. If I need anymore help can i call on you?
