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 s...

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...

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'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. Obvious...

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 abo...

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 woul...

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 qualit...

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

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 include...

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)...

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

Does anyone have any creative products or solutions they could recommend for wire/cord/cable management? We had a nurse get injured the other day and I'm trying to improve the sloppy practices at my facility

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 c...

I do a ton of robotics and thoracic (just thoracic we don't have open heart ). My personal favorite is thoracic robots though,, they're awesome cases to learn and participate in. My hospital actually uses robotics as a crutch to train new nurses as a...

We have those as well. But the issue with them (according to management) is you have to rip them up and change them out after every case. So if you're in a room with several cases it ends up being a nice sentiment but an infection control issue. And ...

Basically I love the hospital I work at and would "prefer" to stay there. I am technically an ANM/Coordinator, and got a job offer elsewhere as OR manager. We are entrenched at the position so im thinking about asking them to come up with a new posit...

New grad, trying to get into Mather Hospital (port jeff) Have an interview for the new graduate program, any advice ? This is BY FAR my first choice, didnt expect an interview, want to do absolutely any and everything humanly possible to get this job...

I was hoping somebody could help me figure this out. One of of the colleges I previously offered has a DNP nursing leadership. It doesn't have any of the typical nurse practitioner classes that that are clinically based (ie advanced health assessmen...

1. I realize the OR is a place of multiple personalities and backgrounds working together, but is it normal for staff to gossip about each other constantly?? I am a no-drama kind of person and in my workplace, it is nearly impossible to avoid the gos...

AA's are borderline non existent CRNAs are out there though

At my hospital we have had recent debate about the process for skin assessment on patients in the periop period. This last month we had 2 AMBULATORY patients come into the OR with undocumented pressure ulcers (which we found in the OR prior to incisi...

Oh we are Im just trying to figure out do other hospitals do a full (or mostly full) skin assessment for patients prior to OR arrival ? I mean I know it sounds and must feel awkward for ambulatory patients to get a full body exam prior to entering th...
