I haven't had to put anyone out of my room yet, but I have a feeling it will happen. I am a new RN in the OR but I worked as a CST for almost 9 years before going to nursing school. I was more comfortable as a tech to put someone in there place because I had "been there, done that" . Now, being in a new role, I have found myself to not be as outspoken as I was in the past.

I do mostly orthopedics and not a day goes by that something is said that is turned into something else, usually naughty. I work in a hospital that has a good number of surgical tech students almost daily and the first thing I warn a student about is the conversations that can go on in the rooms. Sometimes we can get down right nasty. It is all in good fun.
