Thank you for your response Rose_Queen. My charge did notify our maintenance department as soon as I brought up the change in temperature and humidity. I am not sure if IC was informed. I did fill out a variance report once we were finished. Unfortun...

Good morning! I am looking for information on safe temperature and humidity ratings in the OR. I live in south Texas and just like most of the country right now it is very hot. Last night, right before I was to take back a patient for an orbital/maxi...

Thank you everyone for your input, I am very appreciative of it! I wanted to update y'all. After patiently waiting these last couple of months, I was finally able to interview for a position at the hospital I am currently employed. I am excited to sa...

Hello all! I have been interested in working OR long before I became a nurse. I currently work on a busy ortho/neuro floor. I have been a nurse for three years. I have been trying for over a year to get into the OR where I work. I have submitted appl...

Thank you for that information. I am located in South Texas and am not looking to move just yet. I appreciate the thought!

Thank you all for the information. I am currently employed in the largest hospital in my area, a level 2 trauma center. As previously mentioned, I have been shadowing circulating nurses in our OR. I received a text message from the OR director last ...

Thank you for this. I am fully aware of not having as much patient contact as I do now. I have no disciplinary actions on file. My DON has told me I am an excellent nurse whose patients are always satisfied with my care. I did ask if there was anythi...

I work on an ortho/neuro unit. We're at 5:1 with the charge nurse at 4:1. When we're short staffed we're 6:1.

Thank you for this thread. I am currently working on an ortho/neuro unit in a hospital in South Texas. I graduated last December and do not yet have a full year of nursing under my belt. I am very interested in going to the OR. Does working in the O...

I got your email. Again thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you so much! Lol. No worries about forgetting names. I'm right there with you! Lord knows I'm no spring chicken anymore. Lol

OK. Now that you said that, I think I sat not quite next to you in lab when we were with *** *****. Did you sit in front of the tub with the gait belts? I looked under documents and could not find it. My email is [email protected] if you don't mind ...

Ah OK! Lol. I'm gonna have to look for you now! Hey, by chance do you have the conversion sheet? I can't find mine and am starting to panic! Lol

Oh OK. Lol. Which Tamara are you? I think I spoke to a Tamara Wednesday afternoon. We talked about financial aid and books. I'm sorry I'm having a hard time remembering right now.

So now that we've had orientation, what's your name? I'm Jessica

Yes I am! How about yourself? I'm very curious as to who my fellow classmates will be. The 2011-2012 school year is the only year I've spent at Del Mar and I don't know many people, so I'm kind of nervous.

Sorry about the double post.

No worries about the response time. I took the HESI today and am relieved I passed! Now to navigate the application process. That is making me nervous too since I have some not so impressive grades from 1997-1998. I retook some course to improve and ...

Thanks for replying and Congrats on completion of the program. I understand the sacrifice everyone will be making. I was in a nursing program in another state before moving here. I had passed my first semester but not the second. Had to do a lot of s...

I am just curious how difficult it is to be accepted. I have one class(chemistry) and the HESI left to take. Grade wise I have 2 B's and the remaining A's. Any info is appreciated. Btw, I do know about their current situation.
