I'm so happy for the nurses who were able to work as a circulator right after graduation.
I'm trying to get into the OR. Praying about it 🙏.
While it is amazing to jump right into your chosen specialty, I am old school. Every new grad should put in a year at the bedside. The foundation of knowledge is invaluable, and prepares you for every other unit. It won’t make you a bad nurse, but if you ever change to a new specialty area, you will suffer playing catch up.
I went straight into the OR. then Cardiac. I loved it. I also went to outpatient cardiac, and I am finishing my career as an electrophysiology nurse in the cath lab. Do what you love...dont waste time in areas you are not going to work in.
@@peachqtpi i disagree, bedside will burn out new nurses too quickly, especially now. Thats how you lose baby nurses and make them run away to other facilities if not out of the career entirely
I'm going to be starting in the OR in less than a month and I'm excited to see just a glimpse of what you do. It was reassuring to see the new grad talk about starting out in the OR since that's going to be my same experience as well. I graduated last December.
Good luck! I hope you love it as much as I did! There's a lot to learn, just stay focused.
@@ccoop3774 Thank you so much! I will, I've been studying instrument names in the meantime.
How is it?
can we get an update? 😊
@@nina1773 I'm still working in the OR, I love it! It's been a huge learning curve, especially because we had to learn how to scrub and circulate. But I am at that point where I can manage my room, even if I haven't done that type of case before. I feel more confident and I know that if I have questions I can just ask others. It's been a little over a year now and I still feel happy to go to work. There are multiple opportunities to switch things up in the OR. You can switch shifts or you can switch specialties. There are tons of choices. I really feel lucky to have started here as a new grad. Other past classmates that work med-surg are already feeling burnt out. I almost feel guilty when they ask me how it's going for me because I have nothing to complain about. There's the typical grouchy nurse and doctor here and there, but nothing you wouldn't encounter at any other job. I highly recommend it.
THIS IS MY DREAM
Same here bro
@@Losangelas56783 me too
Yeah.
ME TOO!!! I’m doing my senior practicum in the OR soon! MANIFEST IT! ♥️
Good luck
I love surgical Nursing. I’ve been a Circulator going on 20 years in January!! Great Video!!❤️👍🏽
Me too I love ascrb nurse😊😊
I'm a French circulating nurse. We only have nursing staff here, so I was wondering what are the differences between OR nurses and surgical technicians ? Thanks a lot for the info !
(same thing for physician assistants/physician associates, these providers don't exist in France or Belgium )
Way to go!👍
My thanks to all nurses... "Assist the world of humanity as much as possible. Be the source of consolation to every sad one, assist every weak one, be helpful to every indigent one, care for every sick one, be the cause of glorification to every lowly one, and shelter those who are overshadowed by fear." ~ The Promulgation of Universal Peace, Baha'i Faith
God bless these people who don’t even know you but advocate for you no matter what. Thank you guys ! Where would be without you!???
Love this video loads....Thank you so much Mrs Anika for helping me achieve my dreams of becoming a licensed nurse.
This is a great video :) I am a PA student and i love that you mentioned a possible PA. We had our surgery exam a week or two ago and I’m interested in eventually doing surgery so I’m excited for my surgical rotation. We learned (and it was a test question) that the head person is the nurse in the OR and he or she has all of the doctors orders and knows exactly what to do which will be great for us students when we go in having no idea what to do.
This is great! I am a critical care nurse of 4 years now switching to OR from ambulatory OR. I am excited! Thanks for this video.
I cannot wait to become a OR nurse. I’m currently studying for the TEAS and will be applying next year for nursing school 😭😭
I know that feeling all too well. I'm excited.
I love nursing professional. I'm 58 yrs old lady in Myanmar.Isee video remember to ot nurse for along time enjoy.l'm proud of nurse and Great job.
Great video, we love seeing a day in the life video!
Y'all are always busy. Idk how y'all do it...#I'm an EVS OR supervisor at a major hospital. Thanks for the shout out.
My OR nurse here when I had my son early was amazing!! He never left my side, constantly checked on me and kept me updated on what was going on including how my vital stats looked. Loved my surgical and recovery team!!!
Heroes of the highest order! Thank you!
You are awesome ! Thank you for sharing !
Anna Sephora Ibañez I got cured from hpv warts through herbal treatment from Dr Kasim who I met through the internet, I actually couldn't believe it at first because it sounded impossible to me knowing how far I have gone just to get rid of it. Dr Kasim send me his herbal medicine which I took as instructed and here I am living a happy life once again, a big thanks to Dr kasim, I am sure there are many herbal doctors out there but Dr Kasim did it for me, contact him (drkasim50@gmail.com) or WhatsApp +2348112527353 He is capable of curing HIV/AIDS, HERPES, HPV, HSV1&2, CANCER of all kinds, DIABETES and so many other infections.
Love how this video has so many views...! Really interesting to hear from the OR nurses at GBMC!
Great team they have it looks like, nice video!

They make it look glamorous .... it’s very hard
My undergrad university has one of the best nursing schools in the state. Very rigorous curriculum but the NCLEX pass and job placement rates after graduation are high. Not a nurse myself but work in healthcare so I know that nursing is very difficult. I’ve also had many surgeries (mostly ENT, have one in 11 days) so shout out to all the OR nurses for taking great care of me!
a lot of hard working people❤❤❤❤
@Greater Baltimore Medical Center it would be nice if you would finally have an RN 1 cohort for the operating room. I’ve been checking your site for a year and I only see operating room spots for RN 2 and above.
I miss working in the or so much....I'm retired, surgical nurse, it was my heart n soul...
Am a surgical nurse but unfortunately I live in a country where job opportunities aren't giving to new grade especially in the area of nursing for this reason been unemployed for more than a year and half now, funny enough I passed all my exams and interviews but immediately the HR founds out that I have no previous experience except school practice they turn me now. Sometimes I feel so depressed I just wanted an opportunities to practice what I studied for 5 years at the University and with all the scientific knowledge I've acquired. Well I've chosen to keep going and never give up against all odds
Any luck yet?
Normal hours typically or on-call?
Great Work People ✝️💯❤
I'm from nursing indonesia i like it seems this video
This is my dream too
Tomorrow is my interview for an OT nurse..
Btw i got selected 😀
Congrats
congratulationss
@@MarksTournaments thanks 🤝
@@amryms thank you 😊
@@afrozmajkori4977 Im fresh graduate nurse, and I want to be OT nurse :)
Stay safe everyone
Thanks.
Hello, I am a surgical technologist in Iran, which is different from an operating room nurse in America, we spend a four-year bachelor's degree as a surgical technologist, is it the same in America? Can I apply for a job as a surgical technologist in American hospitals?
I think this is what I want to do!
I wish there was at least ONE interview with a POC nurse..
If you meet the qualifications and are skillful in your area why does it matter?
@@meezuswest1781 representation matters, that’s why. 🙂
yes 🥲
I am currently a student of BSC nursing course and this is my dream job.I wanna be an OT or ICU nurse in future,In Sha Allah😊From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
When I had spine surgery 6 months ago they had me out before they put me on the table
As an OR RN all rhe nurses on the floor with they were in the OR bc its 1 pts and ppl have this idea its less work. My advice would be to leave nursing altogether
I've been a licensed RN for a while but never had a nursing job and not sure I ever will.
Don't know what to do with it😏
It's nice looking into the options and possibilities.
Don't quit looking...I lucked into an O.R. training program at a magnet hospital by looking online for available positions in my area twice a day. I applied, and didn't hear back for TWELVE WEEKS - so apply, apply, apply. Don't get discouraged.
May I ask what you're doing instead of nursing?
This is one of my dreams,be an operating room nurse,aside from being mental health nurse and respiratory nurse..
One step at a time..🙂
Hello beautiful woman how are you doing today?
I'm a rgn but who work in NH at the moment and I'd like to work as scrub.
I don't see how someone who is an employee of the facility can be a patient advocate. The only real advocate can be a person who has same values and is trusted by the patient. Such as a spouse. Personally been humiliated by opposite gender support staff that said they had best interest.
Whoever scored this video went hard.
My dream job 🥺💖
My goal is to be an excellent OT norse🎉
Do you guys have a residency program for this?
Not for them bc they are nurses. Only Doctors have residency programs
@@Ahn-mu3db Nurses do have residency programs. It’s literally called a residency. Do you think nurses are just thrown into ors? There is always training sometimes it is formal and there is a residency where we will have classes and it will be a set schedule and you have to apply to it. Or it’s an internal training and you are with a nurse. I prefer structured training and that’s why I asked if they had a residency. Anyway I did a residency for psych instead.
@@Moonmoon-rh1mc there is always training no matter where you work. I am interested in working surgery, and I talked to a nurse and they said that it's a 12 week training before they put you on the floor
This is my dream❤️i am also a scrup nurse
Hello beautiful woman, How is everything over there?
It is my dream to become an operating room nurse but Im stuck in the emergency department for almost 6 years now.

Why can’t you transfer?
Not sure why the video has loud music accompanying the narrator. People are watching this video to learn. They are not watching it to be entertained.
Are the instruments used cleaned and reused, or tossed?
The instruments when are used , they are reused.
@@moonshine399 👍 When watching hospital shows, i always wondered "do they throw ALL that away"?
@@andresuston7692 hehehe nooo , it goes to sterilization center ( in the same hospital) and they wash and put all the instruments in hot/ freezer chambers and then cha cha chan ... Is clean again for other surgery. ( dont sue me for my English . Im.hoping that u understand the process)
@@moonshine399 👍
There’s a combination. The trays (mostly stainless steel)are cleaned disinfected, sterilized and reused.
The individual items that are sterile and opened individually for the procedure are discarded.
Think of it this way: when cooking a meal, you wash your dishes, pots and pans and utensils to use again.
My Dream
Wow your theater is very nice
I'm nurse student ❤🙏
Is OR nursing easier than floor/icu/ER nursing?
Easier? No such thing. The OR is a whole different world, but it's doable once you get through the training. It's a lot to learn.
Me in 5 years inshallah
Hola ❤️🌹🙏
15 rooms holy shit we have 40 running
Oh 40 that’s nothing we have 200 operating rooms running at my hospital 🏥
@@mikeschulte4271 200 omg! how many cases do you average a day? we're at about 120-200.
That was a joke lol. The hospital by my house does have 50 rooms it’s called Christiana care hospital main campus if u wanna look it up. I don’t work their but they have great service. I had surgery their and staff were beyond amazing
Grafters ❤✝️💪
Am peditrc RN 😍😍
Wow! How long have you been for?
Imm an Anesthesiologist
This is going to come out the wrong way but I don’t know how else to say it. To me, only in the OR, nurses actually “look” professional and vital to what their role is. I’m not saying other nurses are not professional. I’m speaking specifically about the “look” here. Maybe it’s the scrub cap, or the specific hospital provided scrubs they have to wear compared to the other nurses throughout the hospital. Whatever it is- OR nurses just look important to me compared to the others.
you are dumb
What? All the nurses are needed
I actually understand what you mean.
I think Hollywood and TV have something to do with that perception
I’m a nurse and I totally understand you. Even though there are uniforms, some nurses come to work trying to look cute. Sorry, you chose this profession, the patients come first. So hair up or under a cap, no nail polish & trim those fingernails. Years ago our hospital voted on a new uniform color cuz the nurses complained that white made them look fatter. Gimme a break. That’s how patients can easily identify nurses universally. Now they go from one system to the next and they don’t know who’s who because one system uses navy blue and another uses light blue. Instead they have to look at ID badges instead of easily being able to tell which is a nurse.

My God! Do you have to be overweight to work in an OR?!
do you have to be broke to sit on your moms couch in HER house
