    Yet another burnout thread

    Fun2 replied to inspir8tion's topic in Operating Room

    There's a sign-on bonus where I work, and we get lunches, and most of the time breaks too. Sign-on bonuses doesn't always mean 'stay away from us!' I hope you find a place that cares about their...

    What does the abbreviation in "SSS/PACU" mean?

    Fun2 replied to ARRR10's topic in Operating Room

    Hmmmm.....good question. I've never seen that. If it were only 2 S's, I'd say, "Surgical Services", but the

    How many hospitals did you apply to?

    Fun2 replied to NursingGeek's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That is not going overboard. She will only send out the same letter to each place anyway, so it's not extra work for her. I may have applied to 4 or 5, but I only interviewed at one place. (I...

    Mind is fuzzy, poor memory

    Fun2 replied to shhnack's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I keep a little notebook with me, or put notes on my PDA. Every now and then, I read through my notes to keep the information fresh in my mind. I also agree that when I am eating healthy, getting...

    Pregnant and no one seems to have any compassion.

    Fun2 replied to Tiffany, RN, BSN's topic in Operating Room

    I'm sure your hormones have you 'boiling' more than you would be normally, so try not to say anything in a harsh tone to your coworkers, or employers! I can see your point on some issues, then...

    Scrub Tech Clinicals starting...nervous!!!

    Fun2 replied to TiggerBelly's topic in Operating Room

    I am a little nervous when I know I'll be scrubbing, but once I'm there doing it, I'm ok. I briefly look at the instruments as I go along, and name them in my head. It helps when the surgeon asks...

    "No self- respecting nurse"

    Fun2 replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

    I realize this is an older thread, but I believe that "no self-respecting doctor" would not appreciate an RN's duties in the OR. I know the RNs save the MDs hides often! Then again, maybe this...

    can a nurse refuse to give vaginal cream to a patient?

    Fun2 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    An patient who is able-bodied, should do this herself. Who is to say this patient isn't looking for a reason to sue the hospital and/or RN for sexual abuse????? I would talk to the prescribing...

    Does your OR have an educator?

    Fun2 replied to linda2097's topic in Operating Room

    We have one educator. She actually may be getting a helper, though. She works full-time 'at least'. She is on salary. Edited to add: No, she doesn't work in the OR at all to do cases or give...
