   c_loveya replied to belindalou's topic in New Nurse

   Wonderful article! Thank you so much for recognizing how OR nurses act as patient advocates and the unique challenges we face. Definitely NOT an easy job that just involves passing instruments as some are lead to believe.

9. How not to barf during assessment

   c_loveya replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

   I was sooo nervous for my head to toe assessment too! So much to remember but just tell your instructor what you see on your partner and you'll likely fly through it in plenty of time. Best of luck to you. It is very nerve-wracking! :uhoh21: Love -...
