Does your application not appear under your login too at this point? Eitherway that is peculiar

So I had applied for this upcoming year and recently my completed application no longer appears under my account. Has this happened to anyone else? Does this mean anything? That I've been rejected? That my application has been processed? That something was wrong with my application and it's invalid? I just find it odd as I've not experienced something like that applying for grad schools before. Figured I'd check here before giving them a call tomorrow

Thanks I'll try this! I'm trying to picture this in my head, but not sure if I've seen it or not. I'm honestly leaning towards just getting a smart watch and setting up an app with that, as I'm sure it'll be easier!

I recently started a new job which uses EPIC as its MAR. If I wanted to set regular reminders in my MAR (not patient specific, not something I'd have to set everyday) is there a way to do this? IE if I wanted a reminder at 10pm every shift to pop up saying record patient weight. I think something like this would be infinitely useful to a nurse with less experience Ina new specialty, but I have no idea how to do it Also in advance I'm aware that there's some sort of way to add patient specific reminders on the brain. But having to do that every shift seems rather tedious

Well the higher expectations wasn't really because I was a manager, I'm well aware that most are out of touch and clueless. I more anticipated higher expectations because I'm an experienced nurse with 5 + years under his belt who will be a notch above a new graduate

I've worked ONLY as an operating room nurse/coordinator/manager for 5 + years, never having done bedside nursing. Later this month I will be leaving the OR to take a job in a level 1 trauma center high acuity major ICU as a beside ICU nurse. Obviously this is going to be a challenge as I'm effectively going to be the equivalent of a new grad RN, but expectations will be substantially higher for me because I have 5 years nursing experience and was previously a nurse manager. I know I'll have some unique strengths (communication, confidence Er sorta, comfort with patients) but clinically/skills wise and expectations will be working significantly against me. Any suggestions or advice? How can I maximize my chances for success

What's the justification for having surround speakers in a room? Is there anything other than just for staff pleasure?

Basically I have a fairly significant amount of influence in designing two new operating rooms in my OR, which will primarily be doing robotic/laparscopic cases. What are somethings I could ask for that you find as significantly improving your quality of life as a nurse in an OR doing these kinds of cases? Space is at a premium so I'm looking for novel ideas to make these rooms as enjoyable as possible for the staff doing the cases. So far the best thing I was able to get was wall mounted slave monitor TVs. What are some other great products/room design ideas to make life better as a nurse?

Well I didn't mean blotting towels even though I said it. More like towels to shove under the sides of the patient to catch drippage so it doesn't pool under the patient and be an extreme fire hazard

Well we have the sticks as certain specialities use it. I was just wondering if there was any creative products out there for chloraprep not just sticks. Maybe a chloraprep kit similar to the betadine kits. With gloves and blotting towels all included. Or anything else creative and innovative Google didn't give me the results I wanted (was typing this the same time as the post above) All of our betadine kits come with nice nitrile gloves that basically everybody can fit in

My hospital uses mostly betadine still, but we're trying to get everybody to use chloraprep. Other than the regular sticks, does anyone use anything else chloraprep wise for general surgery preps? I figured if we made it as simple as possible it would increase compliance and make the transition smoother. It doesn't make sense to me how none of our chloraprep products include gloves which adds an extra step for the nurse

My hospitals roller boards don't support bariatric patients, but our slider boards do. So I don't think one or the other is preferable for heavier patients. I imagine they likely make both for larger patients

We never tuck at all Do you use eggcrate or foam when positioning any/most surgical cases? Or is that another bizarre habit of my facility, we use foam for everything

In the last few weeks my organization has two arm/ulnar injuries after cases where the patient was in very steep reverse trendelenberd. Our current process involves using velcro and wrapping the arms in kerlix (on top of egg crate on the arm boards) for these cases. Does anyone do anything better or use products / positioning devices designed to avoid these problems?

Ive never seen a circulator leave the room during induction (unless theyre asked to get a glidescope or something for anesthesia) But when a CRNA is inducing there is always an anesthesiologist next to them as well. Sometimes they will not need the circulator as a 3rd set of hands (easy airways etc). But most of the time the circulator is right there with them. I forget that in NY laws are different, as a CRNA always needs to have an anesthesiologist physically in the room with them for induction. Presumably in other cases this isnt the case
