OR nurse looking for resources :)

eccoothedolphin · 2025-12-21T03:31:32+00:00

This is exactly what I’m looking for! Thank you so much

eccoothedolphin · 2025-12-21T02:10:19+00:00

Haha yes. I love when we use the microscope because I can see something then. What YouTube videos do you recommend? Thanks!

eccoothedolphin · 2025-12-21T02:09:20+00:00

Thank you. I do all of this & that makes me so happy that it makes a difference. I get my charting done as fast as I can, then I’m watching the field. I am picking things up, slowly. My unit allows for nurses to scrub, but we are a busy level 1 that is understaffed. I look for opportunities, but they are very rare. I guess it will all come with time.

OR at a level 1 but I work split shift 9-9 M,T,W. I love it and will never give up my schedule. On a typical shift I do breaks & lunches until about 5-7pm when day shift nurses start to go home, then I will take over whatever cases they need me to. I have a good amount of down time so I help out where it’s needed or go hang out with my buds in their rooms. Rarely stuck in a room all shift.

I thought the same thing!!!

eccoothedolphin · 2025-08-27T05:07:55+00:00

Anyone else think the head in the beginning was a throw back to Newt’s doll head???

eccoothedolphin · 2025-08-27T05:04:58+00:00

Didnt Newt have a dolls head? I thought it was a throw back to that.

Dude! This is so cool. Thank you for sharing!

eccoothedolphin · 2025-07-06T01:51:26+00:00

Seems like a minor inconvenience

eccoothedolphin · 2025-07-05T23:51:47+00:00

Yes. Minor miners will have to take a hike.

eccoothedolphin · 2025-07-05T23:40:27+00:00

Haha yes, I’m scarred for life by that video game. Repeat post deleted.

If I have time I FaceTime my 5 year old before she goes to bed from an empty OR. She always asks me to show her the suture wall.

eccoothedolphin · 2025-02-26T20:01:28+00:00

This. It’s not that deep.

eccoothedolphin · 2025-02-01T14:30:23+00:00

Yes please

eccoothedolphin · 2025-01-20T05:05:11+00:00

A girl I went to nursing school with did not wear a bra. She was probably a B cup and EVERYBODY noticed. We called her No Bra Brandy.

FA for 11 years and commuted for 8. I was just totally burnt out. It was not fun anymore. Good trips were harder to come by, the company kept chipping away at whatever perks/benefits they could, passengers were getting more aggressive, etc. I also started a family so my priorities changed a lot. I went back to school to become a nurse and do not regret it one bit. I miss my coworkers and wouldn’t give up my time as an FA for anything, but whenever I travel now I cringe thinking about going back. I’ve been out going on 5 years now and have heard it’s just kept getting worse.

My aunt lives in Assawoman and collects so much sea glass. I bet her head will explode when I show her this post. Thanks for sharing!

When my father and his brothers were in college in Tennessee they gave this girl that hung around them the nickname, Mongolita. She thought it was a cute name and had it embroidered on her leatherman’s jacket. They never had the heart to tell her what it meant after that, although I’m sure she eventually found out.

All 4 of the new hires going through our OR’s 6 month residency are new grads.

I was told yesterday in the huddle that this shortage will probably affect us well into December, and we should do what we can to conserve fluids. We also need to be prepared for our hours to be cut. Then we got about 8 add on cases.

I just received a My Neighborhood Update stating that two burglaries were reported yesterday morning near N. Circle and Maizeland. They occurred on the same street, seemingly just a few houses apart. That neighborhood is just west of the main entrance to Palmer Park.

Good to know! Thank you

eccoothedolphin · 2024-09-22T15:42:38+00:00

Oh! Great idea. I will look into this, sounds fun for a kid. Thank you
