Hi! I was wondering if you had to do any clinical skil checks (like the skill checks you have to do when you want to become a cna) in order to be an OR Nurse
Hey! Definitely do! There’s so so much to learn for the skills sort of never end lol. With every new equipment piece, instrumentations, techniques. It’s always evolving. Some times I think more so than other specialities!
Some of the ones I listen here and there are Optimal Daily Living , Unf*ck Your Brain, and I love Rise & Conquer by Georgie Stevenson!! Comedy ones that are greattt are Shagged Married Annoyed, and Parental Guidance by Rose and Rosie 🤗🤗 Hope that helps. What are your favs!?
Tee Johnson Yup! But the days change on which ones I’m working or off. They rotate around. Experience wise it’s definitely a specialized area so getting some solid nursing experience overall is highly recommended before moving into it :)
Hey! Depends on which part lol. Nursing school as a whole can be anywhere from 18 months for some programs to 4 years for a bachelors degree. After that, OR internship programs can be a few months to a year long while you learn the ropes! 🤗
Thank you for making this video! I'm so excited to become an OR nurse!
i always love being at the hospital so I want to become a surgeon or the surgeon that gives the surgeon tools
I love your videos! Very inspiring!! I am hopefully starting OR nursing in June can’t wait 😊
mel Thanks hun! That’s awesome! It’s a whole different world and can be so fun ☺️

Hi from Nova Scotia Canada. I’m an OR Nurse too!
Hiii way up there! I’ve never been to Nova Scotia!
Great video🙂
You should do a video of how the safety straps work on the operating table.
Somehow those little things can be so tricky! Especially different turnover packs, beds, and kits! Lol
What type of positive podcast do you listen to?

As a OR nurse what are some essentials you keep in your pockets?
Everything but the kitchen sink of course! LOL
Chest pocket - 2 pens, 2 gown cards to write on. Lower shirt pocket- Scissors. Jacket pockets - 1 pair of gloves in each. :)
Holly Gain Gown cards for the win 100% of the time!

Do you get any experience in the Cath Lab?
Dream killer 8625 Nope! Not yet at least!
How long are your shifts?
Tee Johnson I usually do 12 hours! But the 4 days off in between during the week is niiiiiceee!
Mikaela Aiko cool! So you do 3 12s and have 4 off days? Did you need any experience to work in the OR?
Tee Johnson Yup! But the days change on which ones I’m working or off. They rotate around. Experience wise it’s definitely a specialized area so getting some solid nursing experience overall is highly recommended before moving into it :)
