  1. Should Surgical Technicians Circulate

    orrnlori replied to Rnn2003's topic in Operating Room

    Any tech that wants rights to all domains in the OR needs to go to school and get their RN. It's not about

  2. Sad for my neighbor, didn't know what to say!

    orrnlori replied to lilbiskit78's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did a great job too. Also, get used to being called upon by family, friends, and neighbors for medical advice. It will happen more and more. My neighbor recently had me over to look at...

    You have unknowingly just proved why family members will never be allowed in sensitive areas of the

  4. Your Thoughts Requested

    orrnlori replied to weezieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I believe you all are incorrect. Weezie is an RN. After I received the unambiguous personal remarks that were so out of character for one RN to another (well, now that I think of it, it's pretty...

  5. Trying to get Pediatrics position

    orrnlori replied to etmx5313's topic in General Nursing

    Is your current position with peds? I find pedi based practices to want pedi trained nurses. It's kind of the closed club secret society thing, lol. I find web based applications to be inefficient....

  6. Life beyond BSN

    orrnlori replied to Dixiecup's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse paralegal is a long way from the Juris Doctorate, but maybe it might be a good way to see if you would like the law. Again, though, legal nurse consultant (or paralegal, which is used...

  7. Can OR Nurses just work for plastic surgeons?

    orrnlori replied to RNStudentMary's topic in General Nursing

    Plastics is my first love, I would pick a plastics case over any other case to work in, I even like the the big bloody burn cases. If you work in a hospital, most likely you will have to work in all...

  9. Have any of you left the OR only to come back?

    orrnlori posted a topic in Operating Room

    I'm entertaining a very good possible offer with our College of Dentistry within the medical center where I work. It would be a quasi-management job with lots of varied responsibilities. The...

  10. What is Nursing?

    orrnlori replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    I felt the way you describe when I worked in trauma step down in terms of giving all. That's why I left it. I was also a new nurse and expected to be perfect in my own mind, so when things didn't go...

  11. Your Thoughts Requested

    orrnlori replied to weezieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry I've made you so angry. I don't think I'm God nor do I have a chip on my shoulder. I thought since you were a nurse, you would have an understanding that the reason the rules are what they...

  12. What is Nursing?

    orrnlori replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    Nice article. I didn't choose nursing for any of the reasons you wrote about. As a lay person thinking about becoming a nurse at the age of 38, I never thought of the "calling" that we read about....

  13. Why do nurses get Masters in Public Administration degrees?

    orrnlori replied to t2000JC's topic in General Nursing

    I looked strongly at a MPA for a while. I thought it could lead to working at a high level in the city with the health department and other projects the city does with healthcare. After watching my...

  14. Your Thoughts Requested

    orrnlori replied to weezieRN's topic in General Nursing

    In my hospital, within the body of the consent form, it is indicated that we are a teaching hospital and there may/may not be students in the room during the surgery. This is entirely different than...

  15. Should Surgical Technicians Circulate

    orrnlori replied to Rnn2003's topic in Operating Room

    No. surgical techs are not nurses, therefore they do not and should never be the circulators in the

  16. Your Thoughts Requested

    orrnlori replied to weezieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and unless you are extremely unhealthy, thyroid surgery is very very successful. There is no reason to think you would pass away during the surgery. I know surgery of any kind is scary, I've had...

  17. Last Question right theory?

    orrnlori replied to yvonneRN2B's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've never heard of the theory but if you think about it it makes sense, especially at 88 questions, but maybe not at 265

  18. some of my coworkers are spending way to much time on personal phone calls

    orrnlori replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Try being in a busy OR with everyone needing everything RIGHT NOW and the phone rings, it's the teacher of the scrub nurses's 7 year old wanting to discuss the child's homework. Helllllloooooo!!!!!!...

  19. Your Thoughts Requested

    orrnlori replied to weezieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I work in an operating room and I can't imagine any reason or rule that would allow a spouse into the OR just because they demand it. Your husband is not being reasonable. We have a job to do in the...

  20. Survival Tips for First Year Nurses

    orrnlori replied to rosemadder's topic in General Nursing

    By the same token, if you find yourself in tears at the end of every shift, if you pray you'll wreck your car on the way to work so you don't have to go, THEN MOVE ON. I wouldn't be a nurse now if...
