    carcha replied to Chrislynn2003's topic in Operating Room

    carcha replied to Diving Nurse's topic in Operating Room

    carcha replied to asolomio's topic in International Nursing

    When I had my interview I had to do a 10 minute presentation, that was fine. A lot of the quesitons had to do with why I felt the course would benefit me, how the other students would percieve me, how...

  9. STAPLED drape to patient?!?!

    carcha replied to truern's topic in Operating Room

    yeah, we used to have that, but rarely now. Now I've only seen it done if the surgeon feels the sticky drape may "crinkle" up, in areas such as the shoulder, neck, ect. However as I said its rare....

  10. What do ya think? New drop down menu?

    carcha replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm in the minority here Brian, I HATE IT. Why do we constantly have these changes going on. I loved the old format, it was unique to "ALLNURSES". This new format is bland, bland and bland....

    carcha replied to Linda J's topic in Operating Room

    carcha replied to Linda J's topic in Operating Room

    Same old, same old, we have this question every week about the role of the tech vs the role of the rn. I'm surprised people are not hostile towards the whole thing. Just a few observations here from...

    carcha replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

  18. Nurse Charged with killing patients

    carcha replied to tamar2020's topic in International Nursing

    carcha replied to nursebedlam's topic in Operating Room

    Hey Meridith, "EVERYONE SMOKES THERE". I hope your joking. I work in a hospital which has no smoking facilities at all for staff or patients. If I light up anywhere within the hospital or grounds I am...

  23. Should Surgical Technicians Circulate

    carcha replied to Rnn2003's topic in Operating Room
