Published

Im an SRNA starting full time in the OR next weekI just finsihed my 2 semesters didactic with mimial OR time. Anyone have any pointers? Im a bit nervous.

Thanks!\FLGAS

i'm sorry you feel this way. i don't agree with you, and my experiences tell me otherwise. carry on as you wish, but i can assure you where i am and have been, that this makes things much easier (for me anyway).

Then I would sure like to be where you are. Are you in a teaching facility?

The vast majority of our surgeons could not care less who is above the drapes or what is happening above the drapes. Like I said, as long as the patient doesn't move and the wake up is timely...they're happy. It's unfortunate, because the environment would be much more conducive to learning if it were not that way. But, alas, I'm stuck.

In their defense though, they likely see so many students come through (including their own residents) that it just doesn't matter anymore.
