Wow! Do I feel your pain. I've been on my own as a new circulator for about 5 weeks (never worked in the OR before). There's one surgeon who acts exactly towards me as you've described (could we be talking about the same surgeon? lol). Anyway, I'm re...
I have not taken my test yet... however I have a coworker that failed it the first time too, and she said to know the modules inside & out. Good luck! Let me know if you have any tips...
Hi! I'm preparing to take my AORN /periop 101 final exam & was wondering if anyone had tips, ideas, a study guide to study from, or perhaps even practice questions...any help is appreciated. Thanks!
