1. "blame the nurse" in the OR??

   divanhixrn replied to HurricaneRN's topic in Operating Room

   I definitely agree but I also want to add that sometimes it's not just the surgeons you think about being angry with you, it's also the anesthesiologists/CRNAs and scrub techs who you may have to anger as well. Scrub techs are technically working und...

   divanhixrn replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm sorry but those two above are just too sad for the kids, especially, dry mix!! It's a baby not some cat food. Anyways one of my closest friends' cousin is named Jewelry. Yes, like the jewelry you wear.

   divanhixrn replied to ashfost's topic in New Nurse

   Medsport, my $37-38/hr is for a RN not an LPN/LVN. I'm not sure what LVNs in CA are being paid. I worked a bit as a CNA about 3 or 4 years ago and got about $10 with no experience. I'm sure it's gone up so I think LVNs probably make like you said upp...

   lol JoPACURN, if I know they're coming I might do the same. I just started working and haven't had a JC visit yet. The OR bell, I think one of my perioperative professor was telling me a nurse uses a gong to let people know it's "time-out." She told...

   divanhixrn replied to law3576's topic in General Nursing

   divanhixrn replied to made27's topic in NCLEX

    divanhixrn replied to love2shop's topic in Operating Room

    losangeles213, it's normal to be scared about the surgery but don't worry yourself about the surgeon having to use the bathroom as well. Everyone involved in the case will be thinking of your safety and health. If you're anxious because you're unsure...

    First off, keep up the hard work! You'll pass for sure! Second, I used Kaplan and Learning Extension (NCSBN) but I preferred learning ext when I was taking the quizzes. It gives you the rationale right after you click an answer then since you rememb...
