Hi There everyone i need some advice on operating room nursing. I have been in the OR for 2 months now and I have good days and bad days. I feel like i will never know where anything is or what it is. There is so much to know. I feel pressure from my...

Thanks so much for that. It is funny that we all feel the same way and that makes me feel better. I'm like you I like to be in control and run my own show. Today was a good day I didn't have any dumb moments so that was good. Just when I think about...

Thanks for that reply. The thing is where i work they don't have a proper oreintation program for the OR. I have no feedback. But like you i write down every procedure i'm in and i make a copy of the preference card (scrratch out the pts name) and wr...

Hi Guys and thanks so much for the support. It has been almost 3 months now and i am still not confident. I am doing a lot more and beginning to stand up to the doctors haha.. but i still don't feel confident setting up a room by myself. Once everyth...

Thanks Gary for the support it truly make me feel a lot better. I think i need to give myself time as it has only been 2 months so far. time will tell. :)

Thanks so much for the reply. It makes me feel so much better to know there is a light at the end of then tunnel. The reason I am being rushed is because we are short staffed. I want to really like it and hope that after another 4 months i can feel m...

Hey Icechick How was the training? What hours did you do for the first week. I start tomorrow....Thanks Smiggers

Yes please let us know, you never know we may get to meet each other. Kudos on the many interviews i only heard back for one.

I wouldn't give up yet. it seems like others have waited longer than a week for there call back. If she said that the program wasn't full that is a good thing. I will have my fingers crossed for you... Good luck!!!!!!

Hi everyone, Well i had a phone interview today which must have gone well because she asked me in tomorrow for a in pperson interview, thing is it has happened so fast i am not prepared at all. I really want this job as i did a lot of my clinical ro...

Yep I start on the 29th. So happy and excited.

I got my second interview right away but others have had theirs after a week or so and still got the position. the start dates are 15th and the 29th. Good luck to you.

Well i have just got off the phone with HR at Weiss and guess what i got the job!!!! i cannot believe it, so happy i can't even think straight. Thanks for all the support it meant a lot. Thanks

Can anyone answer this qusestion for me please? If i wasn't chosen for a position in the new grad program would they call me to let me know or would they not bother. Thanks

Icechick i can not reply to you privately so to answer the question basically yes that is what they said to me and the n checked my references also.. Really losing hope because i called HR and they blew me off in 10 secs that the position hadn't bee...

Thats great news!!!!, Good luck tomorrow.. Let us know how it goes. I still haven't heard yet will be 10 days since my face to face interview tomorrow.. Think I will call them tomorrow to see what's going on.. Good luck

Hey LizardRN, Congrats on getting the job!!! When do you start? How long after the interview did you have to wait? I'm such a worry wart with things like this, mainly becasue i have applied to about 50 jobs and haven't had any reply. What school did...

I also had an interview at weiss this month and they haven't called me back yet its been 8days hahaha i'm freaking out because i so want this job. I know they have checked my references a few days ago which i have heard is a good sign. Any info you ...

Oh thats so good to hear from you. people keep saying that they wouldn't bother with references if they were not interested but as you are probably aware of this is a very stressful time because i REALLy want this job. Thanks again for you reply

So i went for my interview last week. I think it went well but can't be sure. I met with the director of a floor that i had done 2 rotations of my clinicals on so the 2 nurses that were also present i had met before. The interview lasted about 35 min...
