OR nurse nut

I am so sorry that this has happened to you. I can certainly understand why your upset. I would definitely stand my ground. I would hate to see this maniac get away with this behavior. I realize this is easy for me to say since I'm not in the situation, however, it sounds like the behavior will not stop unless administration stops it! Good luck and just know that ALL your fellow nurses are behind you... I hope that helps a little bit... :)

This is my first post, but I wanted to get some feedback from nurses in other parts of the country on something. As the circulating nurse, in our facility I have to "find" my CRNA when I roll the patient in the room. (yes, it's my responsibility, with no help from anyone). Page the doctor's assistant out of their "lounge" and then page the doctor to tell him we are ready for him. Is this as Assanine as it seems to me? This isn't the only hospital I've worked in, but here it's the norm. I'm perplexed at this stupidity???
