    When Surgery Becomes Futile...

    I feel like this is common trait among vascular surgeons. Ours will operate literally on half dead people.

    Level III trauma

    We are lvl III and from time to time we do stabs and GSW. I think it depends on the surgeon who im on call with honestly. Some won’t operate and fly out immediately and some will take the ones that are less severe to the OR- like maybe a liver lacera...
  3. Hi, I would not suggest CST, when your done with your ADN position, go back right away for BSN and try to get your foot in the door as circulator or RN scrub nurse so you can start getting your hours in the OR. Take CNOR as soon as you are eligible. ...

    Leaving the Bedside as a New Nurse: Is It a Good Idea?

    Absolutely not!! I have NEVER worked hospital and I have been an RN for 7 years. I went from clinic float nurse to first assist in the OR. Bedside is not for me. Follow your heart !

    New grad jobs

    Fairview usually has a few new grad positions open
  8. Have you done any volunteer work? I would include that. What about 2-3 nonfamily references? Maybe add something that makes you unique to nursing.

    My patient committed suicide last night

    Its good to talk it out in a professional environment. Psych is a hard specialty to work in so i give you alot of credit for that!! It is ok to reflect on the suicide, possibly learn from it somehow?
