  1. I ask this GREAT Nursing Community to Please Help Me with Picking Up the Pieces

    mrsilly replied to To Help and Learn's topic in Operating Room

    "I was seriously thinking of joining AORN to help with advice and networking. I see for a standard membership it is $125.00. If I do it I will see it as an investment in my future and know that it...

  2. I ask this GREAT Nursing Community to Please Help Me with Picking Up the Pieces

    mrsilly replied to To Help and Learn's topic in Operating Room

    I would apply to other hospitals even if they don't advertise OR residency programs. There are so many hospitals in the NYC, just keep trying. You mentioned Princeton. Do you live in Jersey? Just...

  3. OR Nurse Educator

    mrsilly posted a topic in Operating Room

    Any OR Nurse Educators out there? I've been trying to find a job since I completed my MSN. I had one job interview in July and didn't get it. However, I now have a phone interview on Friday (it's a...

  4. "Neutral" sharps passing zone

    mrsilly replied to fezzin's topic in Operating Room

    I've seen the orange plastic "thingy" at my previous hospital. Everyone hated it and hardly used

  5. OR Nurse Educator

    mrsilly replied to mrsilly's topic in Operating Room

    I hate using "uh" and "hum", but unfortunately, they still come out on occasion.

  6. OR Nurse Educator

    mrsilly replied to mrsilly's topic in Operating Room

    I like this idea. I had never thought of that. It might have helped in my job interview last July. At a different interview I had given the nurse manager a copy of my MSN Capstone project to show her...

  7. CNOR

    mrsilly replied to canesdukegirl's topic in Operating Room

    I concur! I would suggest getting the AORN Standards & Recommended Practices to study. When I took the exam, a lot of the questions were based from this

  8. I just had to rant

    mrsilly posted a topic in Operating Room

    Two weeks ago or so, I was asked/begged to take a surg tech's call because she had to do something important after work... she is a high risk pregnancy. Anyway, it was busy all day and people had to...

  9. I just had to rant

    mrsilly replied to mrsilly's topic in Operating Room

    I think it's the dishonesty that gets to me... partly because she's always using her pregnancy as an excuse for

  10. I just had to rant

    mrsilly replied to mrsilly's topic in Operating Room

    So you wouldn't get angry that someone used you? I see that highly unlikely. Who cares? glad you have $50 to give someone so easily. If you were in the OR on call and stuck there, you wouldn't be...

  11. Electro dispersive pads over tattoo's

    mrsilly replied to ORMurse's topic in Operating Room

    You are not supposed to place grounding pads on tattoos because of both reasons already mentioned. Although newer tattoo inks supposedly do not have metal, it is still good practice to assume that all...

  12. Unlicensed OR personnel

    mrsilly replied to CAORRN's topic in Operating Room

    There is no license, only

    All I can say is WOW! Glad you're standing up for what's right! Also, do what caliotter3 wrote, it's a very smart idea. Keep us

  14. calling report to ct icu.. to the secretary?

    mrsilly replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

    It's also a confidentiality issue. Only the nurse taking care of the patient either in PACU or a unit should know the specifics. The unit secretary doesn't need to know anything.

  15. Unlicensed OR personnel

    mrsilly replied to CAORRN's topic in Operating Room

    Otis Elevator... LOL.. that's

  16. RNFA

    mrsilly replied to boo_loveya's topic in Operating Room

    I don't really want a pay cut (which is more than likely), but I'm thinking of contacting surrounding hospitals and asking what my chances are of doing an internship there and if they know any...

  17. Excelsior College MSN Degree Graduates

    mrsilly replied to Info(RN)matics's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Good luck to you too! I hope everything works

  18. What would you do?

    mrsilly replied to canesdukegirl's topic in Operating Room

    Knowing that moving is out of the question, I would talk to some of the other team coordinators and see what they think. Or, better yet, speak to the director and see what her opinion is....

  19. Excelsior College MSN Degree Graduates

    mrsilly replied to Info(RN)matics's topic in Post Graduate Students

    To Military Spouse, there was one class that I hated (can't remember which one) because the professor was not so nice. I had a heated debate with her because I couldn't do my assignments while I was...

  20. Excelsior College MSN Degree Graduates

    mrsilly replied to Info(RN)matics's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just curious, what program are you in that allows you to complete projects, etc on your own time? Online schools that I've checked out (besides graduating from EC) all had requirements of posting...

  21. Ever felt dizzy in the OR?

    mrsilly replied to sameasalways's topic in Operating Room

    It's normal. I've seen many surg techs, RNs, med students, and residents faint or get vertigo. Sometimes it's because the person hasn't eaten anything. Other times, no one knows. I've almost fainted...

  23. Excelsior College MSN Degree Graduates

    mrsilly replied to Info(RN)matics's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Excelsior is accredited by NLN so there should be no problems with credibility, etc. Some people haven't heard of the school, however, it is the first online school. I didn't really speak to the...

  24. Excelsior College MSN Degree Graduates

    mrsilly replied to Info(RN)matics's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I chose nursing education and live in NC. I have been looking for a new position but sadly, I don't have the experience hospitals are currently looking for. I still may go for my post-MS in...

  25. Recommended BSN online degrees

    mrsilly replied to Fitnflorida's topic in General Nursing

    Check out Excelsior College. They offer ADN, BSN, and MSN. You do have clinicals, but you do them at a hospital in your area. Contact them. I'm sure they'll give you some good
