  1. Sterilize hair

    JenJen82084 replied to cruisin_woodward's topic in Operating Room

    Hair can most certainly would not be considered sterilized because it is biological material and would need to undergo a different sterilization process than surgical instruments. You did the right...

  2. Wars between the specialties

    JenJen82084 replied to Rose_Queen's topic in Operating Room

    CVOR is a separate entity from the main OR at my facility, so they have their own call. In the main OR we have 2 call teams - general call and liver call (which can be transplants, washouts,

  3. Organ transplant orientation

    JenJen82084 replied to midwestRN01's topic in Operating Room

    We have a liver transplant team consisting of six nurses and techs who take rotating call. Our facility currently expects all staff to be able to do kidney/panc transplants and get oriented during...

  5. Incorrect counts at shift change

    JenJen82084 replied to lisa203's topic in Operating Room

    Perhaps your scrub was angry at herself for getting an incorrect count? It takes two to tango/count, so the fault cannot solely be placed on you. I disagree with the previous post about fiscal...

  6. Giving a urology inservice, need sujestions

    JenJen82084 replied to lnp0205's topic in Operating Room

    Hello. This seems like a really simple topic, but I know it's an important one. When I started learning the urology service, I had a hard time getting a straight answer regarding which fluid to use...

  8. scrub tech= scrub nurse? hmmm....

    JenJen82084 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Um yes it's illegal. Felony = crime = against the law = illegal. But of course there's no "false nurse" department of law enforcement that can prosecute such offenders. Such people have to be reported...

  9. scrub tech= scrub nurse? hmmm....

    JenJen82084 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's actually illegal in the state of California to describe yourself as a nurse when you are neither an RN or an LPN. We worked hard to get our licenses, and it just bugs me when people call...

    JenJen82084 replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with HP. Honestly, with the shifts we'll be working, we'll be missing the bulk of the traffic. While it is a good idea to be within 10-15 miles of the hospital (especially when you're...

    Interviewed with OR... and it is officially "early February" so I am glued to my phone waiting for ANY news.

  13. UCLA New Grad Program 2010

    JenJen82084 replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So what units haven't made decisions yet and/or who is still waiting to hear from these units? I know the OR won't until "early February" - keeping my fingers crossed! This wait is

    JenJen82084 replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Interviewed today for the OR with FIVE ladies - wow was that intimidating! Probably won't hear back until February - this wait is going to kill

    JenJen82084 replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hello, I have an interview in January for UCLA. I was nor hired for the Fall 2010 cohort even though I interviewed with one unit manager. Some advice - even though your dream job might be in the ICU...

    JenJen82084 replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wouldn't hold my breath for an updated status on their website. I applied for the last new grad program (Fall 2010) at UCLA and it still says "we have contacted you for an

    That's interesting that they decided to forego the Nurse Recruiter interview and go straight to the unit

    JenJen82084 replied to Challengeyourself's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The X was a link for you to click if you wanted to withdraw your application, which you could only do up until HR received and processed your application/documents/survey (which from my experience was...

    JenJen82084 replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The application closes November 1st, but I have a suspicion that it will go into a waitlist soon. Apply now and hopefully by the time you have your HR interview (end of November) you can proudly let...

  20. UCLA New Grad Program 2010

    JenJen82084 replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No - you only need to have your RN by the time the program would start (Feb/March), but having it at the time of applying/interviewing probably looks

  21. Is bedside report a HIPAA violation with 2-4 patients sharing a room?

    JenJen82084 replied to Paulieg69's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Bedside report in a roomful of other patients IS a violation of HIPAA guidelines because it gives detailed information about a patient's diagnosis, treatment, and plan of care while it is linked to a...

    JenJen82084 replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I must post in the hopes that I can help allay some degree of anxiety for those who took the NCLEX and waiting to hear their results. I took the exam last Saturday in CA. I got about 10 SATA...

    JenJen82084 replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is my understanding that the only ICUs that have interviewed individually were PICU and NICU, so all those who applied to ICUs other than that can still keep waiting for that phone

    JenJen82084 replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hello Prospective UCLA New Grad RNs! I just called the HR department because it's been a month since I've interviewed with the senior nurse recruiter, and I just wanted to let you all know that they...

    JenJen82084 replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If units don't have the time/manpower to interview us individually, then they certainly could. Wouldn't that be wonderful? I'd imagine any further interviews would be much more stressful. But again,...
