I agree, I wish I was being taught to scrub but only circulating. In our hospital it's just not feasable.

Interesting question and I never thought to ask that! It it because death doesn't scare me as I came from working Hospice the last 5 years or because I'm green in the OR with only 6 month experience?? @Rose_Queen provided such a great detailed respo...

Hello As I previously mentioned, this is a small hospital so there is no set routine. With that said, I am finalizing periop on-line modules independently and being precepted elsewhere (OR and some PACU). I have one module left to complete and w...

Any recommendations for a good study guide?

My original post I mistyped so I edited it. I had CNOR (goals) on the brain but I'm in Peri Op 101. Sorry for the confusion!

I just don't understand why some of the nursing community is not supportive. Yes some are but some are just down right mean and not supportive and it boggles me because we all benefit when we succeed and it's about the patient!! Anyhow, I wish ...

@Rose_Queen - thank you! I was wondering as I saw they were texts books. I just started training this week in the OR of a small hospital. I have a preceptor and have been told we will start periop soon so I'm trying to get an idea of what's to come s...

@RickyRescueRN Were those text books you mentioned a recommendation from the periop program or a preceptor? Did you use them in conjunction to the program ?

What state are u from? 9 weeks is loooong! Lol. I was the sole nurse for 180 campers and about 35 counselors! For only 2 weeks...How do I get a camp to realize they need to hire more staff?

I'm curious to hear how everyone is doing? As you saw from my diabetic thread, I had that issue to contend with. No major (knock on wood) issues. Had a counselor pass out; toe nail ripped off that then became infected and have since learned that is...

Wow, so many of these responses are well thought out and just all around valid complaints. Thanks you all.

Thanks for all the replies. The short version? I had the parents obtain a MD order stating meter and strips should be on her at all times and that she is monitoring BGS w/o medical supervision (as they wanted her to randomly check in). All insulins,...

Okay -- so I leave for camp this coming weekend and I am all ready faced with an issue :::sigh::: I have a camper, 15 y/o who is a controlled diabetic on a pump. I have been in contact with the parents and they have informed me that in the past, thi...

Just looked -- my results are in and I have a lic #!! Let me tell ya -- there's nothing cooler than seeing your name with a lic #!! Hope you all get to see yours today too!

Wondering who is going to test on Tuesday, June 25th? My test is @ 2:00pm. I am currently an LPN so I'm sitting for my RN. I am using ATI and Saunder 5th edition comprehensive review and I'm feeling VERY overwhelmed! Lets start a 'support' group a...

Done @ 75 questions and felt confident the whole way through! Got good pop up and enjoying a HUGE glass of wine ::sigh:: it's a long road and I'm confident with the PVT (did with LPN and it works)... good luck to all!! My advice -- take the time an...

Took it today! 75 questions and good pop up -- honestly, I felt like I rocked it today! I feel confident. However, I may have an advantage on some of you as I've taken the boards before for my LPN. I TOTALLY feel confident in the PVT ... enjoy!!

Well tomorrows the big day for me. I've been mainly studying content and test taking strategies. I'm remaining confident and will spend the remaining of the day just 'reviewing' I hope I have a good PVT to report...my test isn't until 2 pm Good luc...

You are SOOOO lucky it turned out positive for you! I can't tell you how many times we are told not to bring our phones. PEOPLE -- leave your phone in your cars!! lol -- phew for you!!

I would definitely go get your margarita -- who cares what time it is I am also feeling the same way as you and will be humilated if I don't pass. Also, I don't know if I'm over doing it but seem to be tanking @ my questions... arg, I was never th...

Here ya go -- Main Menu - NCLEX-RN 3500 - Institutional Version

That's the good pop up -- sounds like you passed to me
