    mrsilly replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

  7. Do I need to maintain my CST after nursing school??

    mrsilly replied to SC APRN's topic in Operating Room

    I had thought the same thing when my CST was expiring. I let it go. Unless you plan on teaching surg tech, I don't see the need for it. As a nurse, you want the CNOR. Hospitals won't care about...

  14. RNFA

    mrsilly replied to boo_loveya's topic in Operating Room

    You need to get experience in the OR first before actually taking any RNFA courses. You also have to either qualify to take the CNOR exam or already have it. As far as I know, teaching hospitals do...

  20. Same high maintenance scrub tech question

    mrsilly replied to canesdukegirl's topic in Operating Room

    I've had nurses that act like this tech. What bothers me the most is the fact that the tech wants to sit down (I have this issue too). When you are scrubbed in, you are not to sit down. It's a...
