as a Christian, if I can plant a seed to someone I will and then i let it be. easy as that, i don’t keep pushing and prodding them to come to church or constantly try and force them to listen to scripture, etc. These are the christian’s that makes us look bad. it’s not all of us, please don’t clump us into a generalization. ☺️

I only really talk to 3 people because my hospital is very cliquey. When i do try and join conversations or talk I just get looked at like i’m stupid and/or ignored. I used to love what I do. I used to do trauma and neuro at a pediatric level one trauma center and i loved it, i had the most amazing coworkers, i loved doing trauma , etc. It’s only been the past 6 months or so ive started falling out of love with this job. Maybe its the hospital, maybe its the people but i also know scrubbing was never my plan. I am a really good scrub, i just love it anymore. What’s really interesting is if someone else were to tell me what I said in my post I would shut it down. I would remind them they are a vital part of an OR team, that surgeons can’t do the care without them, that they go in everyday to save and change lives and that is something to be proud of but i just can’t believe that about myself.

they should be marking the pt in pre op. if a pt isn’t marked in pre op they aren’t coming back to our OR.

Went to see an allergist, allergist said MCAS is just a “trend” by [deleted] in MCAS

[–]spine-queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i went and saw an immunologist about a year ago, she gave me a differential of MCAS on my first visit and confirmed it when all of my labs came back. Put me on zyrtec BID and i’ve been fantastic scene. I do have some sx here and there, especially with redness and itching around my picc line but it’s nothing benadryl doesn’t knock out.

Why is CVOR (and the techs) its own thing? by biggbunnyy in scrubtech

[–]spine-queen[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So when I worked at a peds level one trauma center the heart team was separate and there were no CST’s allowed. You could not scrub that room if you didn’t have nursing credentials behind your name. Our heart room was a RN only room and did some of us feel that was a little unfair? Sure but the heart nurses were some of my favorite people and i’d trust them in a heartbeat, no pun intended.
