It's totally irrelevant if one thinks RN's are needed in the OR. AORN standards specify otherwise. I worked in the OR, at a Level I Trauma Center for many years. I've also worked Med-Surg\Oncology, long term care facility, and now I work in Urology as the Procedure Nurse. Urodynamics, cystograms, cystoscopies, RUG'S, BCG tx, assist with vasectomies, and a few other procedures that my role as a OR nurse prepared me for. I personally respect ALL areas of nursing and realize it's diverse. I still get daily calls, and emails for OR positions (very high demand)! Nursing skills are definitely needed in the OR, this I know. Thanks

Imagine that, Black People! Lol Oh Wait! I'm Black! I'm an OR Nurse as well.I know, as well as have atleast 1 year of ICU experience, just was curious if anyone else gave it thought.Ok, i realize alot of scrub techs go back to school to become rn's in the or, but how many of you ever thought about going back to school to become a crna?I say this about everyone, RN's, LPN's, EMT's, CNA's, Scrub Tech's,Dialysis Tech's,and yes even Doctors, we are all needed, we're suppose to have one common goal, when we learn to RESPECT eachother's position things will go alot smoother!ALWAYS LOVE FOR ALL CHARITY GRADS! PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE! HATS OFF TO CLASS OF DEC. O8!!!!!! :heartbeat:redbeathe:heartbeat:redbeathe:yeah::yeah::yeah:I've worked at both. The state has wonderful benefits, and if you go to their website, you can view the information for loan repayment, it's not automatic, but it is an option. Honestly, I think a teaching facility is a great place for a new nurse to start. Good luck with your decision. :redbeatheHonestly it was hard for me. As mentioned in a previous post, you must be self motivated and FOCUS. The only thing I can compare to nursing school, is my experience in basic training. However, I am a mother of seven kids:16,15,13,12,11,4,and 2 years old. (Class of May 05). If I can do it, so can you. Good Luck!You and your son are in my prayers. God bless.I WAS ALWAYS TOLD AN OPINION IS LIKE AN A**HOLE, EVERYONE HAS ONE. HOWEVER, WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO BEING DISRESPECTED, OR JUST PLAN IGNORANT. IT WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THAT INDIVIDUAL TO KEEP THEIR IGNORANT COMMENTS TO THEMSELVES. ONE NEVER KNOWS WHO THEY ARE TALKING TO, AND WHAT CAN COME FROM THOSE UGLY REMARKS. LORD HELP US ALL!very well said, a veeerrrrrrry true! Thanks to all cna'sWell, I know alot of things have changed since the hurricane, but I graduated from CSN May 05, and I do know that MOSTof the staff is understanding, even in the admission office. If you are really worried, I would attached a letter explaining your previous situation that led you to stop attending school and resulted in you receiving F's. You would be amazed at how far a little communication will go. I remember when I applied, some one told me, if I had not completed my Hep B, that I would not be considered. Well, I wrote a letter and explained my circumstances, and well I got a phone call not a letter, cause I was the last student accepted that semester, at the last minute. I just want you to truley know ANY thing is possible when you're persistent. Good Luck!:confused: :confused: WOULD IT MATTER IF THEY HAD ANOTHER TYPE OF INSURANCE? DO YOU THINK THE TYPE OF INS YOU HAVE TELLS WHAT TYPE OF PERSON/PATIENT YOU ARE? WOWI don't know you, but I'm impressed with your courage and persistence. :yeah: :monkeydance: You go Amy!In all fairness to some of the nurses comments, as a mother it is hard to understand or stomach this type of behavior. Unfortunately, child abuse is so common today. You don't know who or what to believe. However, IF she is mentally ill, even as a healthcare provider it's still difficult to understand, no matter what book knowledge, skills, or experience you or I may have as a nurse, some cases are extreme. But my job is not to judge, it's to care. Honestly, I don't want the job of judging. IF she's not mentally ill, God help her. She has to account for what she did and live with it.The only advice I have, is to think positive. The computer cut off at 216 for me. After hearing everyone else say they only had 75 questions and passed I freaked out at 76. Thank God , I passed, but it reminded me, not to compare my experience with others. Good luck, Im sure you did fine.:icon_hug:You can do the same on the LSBN website in 48hrs. I did.I had a nurse tech job once. The position was new to this particular hospital, and it was always 8hrs, sometimes 12hrs of confusion. It was always controversy about our job description and duties(from the nurses and cna's). I did end up leaving, but not before speaking to the nurse recruiter who always seemed interested (in how things were going). She agree the program needed to be re-vamp. Not all hospitals have this problem and hopefully, things will turn out better for you. Hang in there:icon_hug:Again, I understand hopeful:thankya: :thankya:i totally understand the reason and the moral behind the process the bon puts applicants through. however, most of the nursing programs are similar, depending on the type of degree offered, and we all have to pass the nclex. so why do requirments vary so much from state to state? i was charged (never convicted)with a misdemenor while in nurisng school, reported it the bon, and was granted permission to take the nclex. i did obtain my license in my home state. unfortunately, i've relocated to the state of texas, as a result of the hurricane, and unfortunately i'm still working as a clerk instead of a rn. my case is still pending, but like my mother says "delayed but not denied." a little different than the original posting, but just as frustrated:angryfireCONGRATS NOLA :balloons:waiting is always the hardest part, hang in there guys and girls. Good luck and lots of love to all of you, I'm from the class of May 2005. Unfortunately, I'm displaced as a result of hurricane Katrina, but I'll be home soon as possible.:kissatleast some one has the guts to be honest:mad:
