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 Urolog...

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?

Imagine that, Black People! Lol Oh Wait! I'm Black! I'm an OR Nurse as well.

Those words have been echoing in my head since I read this post a few days ago. You're so right, that's what help me through nursing school as a single mother of seven, after going through a divorce. However I almost forgot, and would have aborted th...

I know, as well as have atleast 1 year of ICU experience, just was curious if anyone else gave it thought.

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!

Thank you so much for this post!!! From one circulator to another, it's appreciated!!

Okay it was the day before Hurricane Katrina, I was working on the postpartum unit. We were instructed to discharge the patients who were stable. One family member response has kept me speechless," Oh no, her and the baby has to stay here, cause they...

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 t...

Honestly 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 year...

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...

very well said, a veeerrrrrrry true! Thanks to all cna's

Well, 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 pr...

: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? WOW

I 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 h...

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 wi...

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...

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 v...

CONGRATS NOLA :balloons:
