Hi Everybody, Just wondering how many OR nurses here have worked in different states/ provinces/ countries and if you've found that all in all most instruments are called the same thing....kindof doing a bit of research for a future career move :nuke:

Hi everyone, Ok so like many people here I'm new to travel nursing. I can not wait to make my way down to Australia and get started... only I'm debating between signing with an agency or registering myself and finding work on my own. Any suggestions? Has anyone here moved to a new country before having a job lined up? It would be great if anyone had the name of a travel agency in Australia (all the ones I have found so far seem scketchy at best) . Thanks!

Hi, I'm looking for any OR nurses to talk to about work in Australia. I'm a Canadian OR nurse looking into obtaining a working visa. I'm wondering if the surgical instruments we use are named differently. (examples I suppose could be: belfour, snap, tonsils, L's, kelly, rounguer???) And if they are if anyone can suggest a good book that shows images of the instruments along with the names, I'd hate to show up and be totally lost!
