  7. Stretching the truth...

    NP Sam replied to FaithGurl93's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  13. New Nursing Job

    NP Sam replied to KLRODGERS's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    NP Sam replied to legaleagle30's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The OR is awesome by the way. Every CRNA I work with here LOVES their job. Maybe shadow a CRNA in the OR(if that is possible) and see what you think. As mentioned earlier it will take a couple years...

    NP Sam replied to bestallaround's topic in General Nursing

  25. New OR Nurse Here

    NP Sam replied to betty67's topic in Operating Room

    Scrubbing is going good. I have had to help circulate at times so I call myself a scrubulator. Before scrubbing in (unless I am doing a case by myself) I help with getting the patient situated in the...
