Hi all, I'm a newly licensed nurse and was wondering what characteristics you think make a good OR nurse. The reason I ask is because I only recently started to think about which specialty areas I want to get into, down the road. Also I hear that starting out as a dialysis nurse is not recommended for new grads. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Great! Thanks for clearing that up for me. I checked my lab book and it does make that distinction about creatinine clearance. Now my mind can rest easy about that :).

I'm not understanding how, in my lab book, BUN is said to be increased in CHF while creatinine levels would be decreased (due to decreased Cardiac Output resulting in decreased GFR). Can someone explain both to me. Thanks in advance!
