Will I be able to access these modules from home to review after the workday is over? Or does the PeriOp101 course offer physical material with the same content from the modules? I currently work on a medsurg unit as a tech where although I don't...

Such good advice!

Rose_Queen, thank you for responding! At the teaching hospital I am hoping to interview for, I was told by one of the circulating nurses that orientees go through all of the specialties for the first three months, and following this, are able to sel...

Understood. I hope the year's time in orientation will help me with this. (If I get the position!) Regarding booked cases, how early in advance are you able to view them? Per recommendation from one of the threads here on allnurses, I bought Maxine ...

Hi, WhoDatWhoDare! Thanks for the interview advice! Also... I'm glad you understood what I meant! I spoke to the clinical nurse educator at the hospital I am attending for clinical, and she said the same about having the right attitude for learnin...

Hello! WhoDatWhoDare and Rose_Queen, in your experience seeing new OR nurses being oriented, what seems to be the average amount of time a new OR nurse becomes accustomed to and more comfortable in the OR? I have been told the more orientation, the ...

Good luck, everyone!

Thank you for replying, Rose_Queen! I will be sure to ask when I call for more information on the program. I am debating whether or not to become an RNFA, as (I've been told) I have excellent hand-eye coordination with my previous interests and curre...

Yes it is! Today was supposed to be our first day back (first day of senior year for me), but many of us cannot even get out of our homes because of Jonas. Tomorrow's classes have also been cancelled. When I have the chance I will ask my professor if...

Hi everyone, I'm very new to the world of OR nursing. As a student nurse, I am very interested in the specialty and am looking to join an OR fellowship at one of the hospitals I work for, which trains new grads and seasoned nurses how to circulate an...

You guys got this!

This was very informative! I hope to take the perioperative elective next year, as I am interested in this specialty of nursing. I'll make sure to refer to this FAQ beforehand. This will also be helpful if I get into the OR Nurse Fellowship I am aimi...

Congrats!!! I am between OR, wound care, and infusion nursing, but I am now seriously leaning toward OR nursing just because of the post-graduation fellowship opportunity at the hospital I will be working at. I hope to be in your shoes by this time ...

This was a great article, just what I was looking for! I have an interview for a student nurse position tomorrow at a pretty reputable hospital in my area, so the information in this article definitely helped calm my nerves. Along with the second co...

Hello! I'm currently a nursing student, hoping to graduate in the next year or so. I was wondering what I should do, post-graduation, in order to pursue a career in infusion nursing. I'd love to hear stories on how some of you became infusion nurses,...

Thank you for the replies! :) I've been looking into senior practicum and have been told to do medsurg or oncology by my professors. What would you suggest I do in order to prepare myself for infusion nursing? During my first few years as a nurse in ...

Congrats, readyforschool! Welcome to the UMSON team! nover, it's okay to feel that way. Just remember that some of the people from last semester didn't hear until much later than everybody else, and most likely you are not alone in this!

Haha afowler77, I had so much to do yesterday and couldn't bring myself to do any of it because... we were off! It isn't often that we get days off like that! Gotta stay optimistic! Hahaha! And yes, everyone, if you want to come and say hi to us on S...

blessedNhopeful, I hope we'll see you as well! afowler77 and I are pretty passionate about the admissions process, and we LOVE to help people out. :) Us Shady Grovers have two days off from school this week (today and tomorrow), so we're using this e...

PinkEagle you got in?! I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU! You have worked so hard for this, I am so extremely glad!!! And to add to what afowler77 said above, I was one of those first semesters who had it easier before midterms, but as soon as we came back ever...

emilykwas I'm glad you got on allnurses, I wanted to congratulate you as well! You're all going to love Shady Grove. It is a very nice campus.

C'est La Vie don't apologize this is GREAT NEWS! CONGRATS!!! Welcome to the Shady Grove crew!

So which campus did you all apply for? And why? What made you to look into nursing? (Don't think of this as another set of 200-word essay questions. Yikes! I just want to get to know you all. :))

Yes! Also, paying the initial TU deposit gave us some security in case we didn't get into UMSON.

Love that katiep_123! "Magical deposit day" haha!
