  1. God Bless Each and Every One

    orrnlori posted a topic in General Nursing

    This morning I answered a thread to a new nurse who had chosen to go into the OR and was receiving a little flak from her nurse friends because they felt it wasn't real nursing. I got to thinking...

  2. I've left the OR

    orrnlori posted a topic in Operating Room

    Hello folks - I haven't posted in a while due to moving and trying to finish my degree. I just wanted to post that I left the OR and am now managing the Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic with the...

  3. How many RN's scrub?

    orrnlori replied to Chrislynn2003's topic in Operating Room

    This is one of the funniest things I've read in a long long time. I'll have to watch for the surgeon that runs around begging a scrub tech to help them. What a hoot!

  4. STAPLED drape to patient?!?!

    orrnlori replied to truern's topic in Operating Room

    Wow - I guess it depends on the area of the country you practice in. We staple quite a bit. But when I'm scrubbed, I always insist on removing the staples myself so they are removed correctly....

  5. cosmetic laser therapy/surgery

    orrnlori replied to andreaJ's topic in General Nursing

    We train nurses to be laser nurses at the hospital where I work but the nurse is not the one who uses the laser, she just turns it on and tests it and does the paperwork so I'm not sure what it is...

  6. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    orrnlori replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm off to grad school too. But not everyone who goes to grad school agrees with this. And the message is lost in the tone and words big time here. If you want more nurses to agree with your...

    orrnlori replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Okay, so now we are all a bunch of blue collar trailer trash. I love

  8. A Nurse's Lifestyle

    orrnlori replied to Lauren3249's topic in General Nursing

    This is really a relative question and you have to define what a good income is. If you are willing to put in the overtime you can make some real good money. If you have a life outside work (like I...

  9. Should Surgical Technicians Circulate

    orrnlori replied to Rnn2003's topic in Operating Room

    Good luck with school Kitty.

  12. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    orrnlori replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Oh, I see. We only generalize when it's to our benefit, such as this degree will make everything rosey for everyone. Okay, I didn't know the rules here. Sorry for the

  13. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    orrnlori replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Okay, so I guess no one can write effectively or speak correctly unless they've completed 4 years of college? Puuuullllease! I was an Assistant Vice President at several banks, wrote extensively...

  15. Day surgery nurses

    orrnlori replied to joannep's topic in General Nursing

    Doctor's wives can be some of the b*tchiest females in the world. I don't think I'd consider working for a doctor that is in partnership with his wife. If your little voice says this isn't the job...

    Ear, Nose and

  17. Day surgery nurses

    orrnlori replied to joannep's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of positives. I would ask if the surgery center is surgeon owned or not. The one negative I will tell you is that in surgery, as far as the surgeons go, no one can ever do it well enough or...

  18. Specializing and Contuining Education.

    orrnlori replied to Salus's topic in General Nursing

    There's no extra pay where I work for all the different certifications and continuing education out there, although my hospital will pay for some of the national certifications if you

  19. meaning of doctorate degrees

    orrnlori replied to andreaJ's topic in General Nursing

    The PhD trumps them all. A PhD requires a thorough and definative dissertation on a topic never covered before. It's original work that takes several years to complete and can run into hundreds of...

  20. Need help again. UUUUUUUUUUUUH!

    orrnlori replied to Ted1's topic in General Nursing

    It's measure, you have two nouns, if you had one it would be measures. Think it measures or they

  21. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    orrnlori replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Again, excellent post. I agree. Why is it that only the education in a nursing bachelor's degree valid? There's a multitude of degrees and higher college education (and that's what the most recent...

  22. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    orrnlori replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Excellent response. I agree with you 100%. I am finishing a bachelor's degree this summer, but it's NOT a BSN because a BSN will get me nowhere outside of my hospital. But it WILL get me into my...

  23. New Grad in OR?

    orrnlori replied to prairiegirl's topic in Operating Room

  24. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    orrnlori replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If anyone were to simply sit down and read several college catalogs they would see this is true. I've looked at at least a dozen BSN programs in several different states and this statement is exactly...

  25. What is Forensic nursing?

    orrnlori replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Most forensic nurses are SANE nurses (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners) and are certified as such. Do a web search to find the descriptions of various forensic nursing
