***throw**** opps stupid smart phone!

Where I work I can bid shift up on a medical floor to keep my nursing skill set! So i work in the OR and once or twice a month I'll pick up a shift on a medical or tele floor so I dont lose my skills :). When I do work up on the medical floor with 5 patients ..it really reinforces the fact that OR nursing is the bomb!

hey ya'll!!! :heartbeat I've been a nurse for 6 years and through these last six years I have been a med/surg telemetry and Cardiac telemetry nurse. I am getting way way way to burned out...and in all honesty its waaaaaaaaaaay to soon to be feeling burnt out! The only reason I have stayed on the Tele units is because its my comfort zone and I am terrified to step out of the box. It's to the point now though, where I need a challenge, I need to get out of my same ole routine and try something new! SoooOOooo I accepted a position in the OR and i am soooo very excited, but kinda nervous too!!! I have zip zero zilch experiance in the OR or PACU. What I am wondering {after all my rambling :) }is if anyone has any kind of advice they could give me. Any books I should pick up. Anything in praticular I should buy. Whatever you have for me as a new OR nurse through at me! I would appreciate it! I hope ya'll have a fantastic weekend thanks:heartbeat
