Currently binging all of your OR-related videos because I am starting my *DREAM* job in the OR next week, after years of bedside nursing. I love the enthusiasm you have for your job and that you kind of show us the ins and outs of your surgery center. Thank you for that! Please continue to make more of these videos, if you can :-)
AHHH!! Biggest Congrats! 👏🏽👏🏽 So happy for you to be away from bedside nursing! And thanks for watching my videos 🤍 Definitely plan to add more OR content from here on out 🤗
I think this is what I want to go into. For so long I wanted to be a surgical tech but since I already have a bachelor's, it makes more sense to become a nurse at this point. I really like the idea of organized chaos and doing different tasks/never bored.
I guess some people don't understand they have the ability to skip around parts if they don't like it. But you do you girl! We appreciate your work in making these videos!
What kind of facility do you work at if not emergency or hospital?? Im interested in OR but I’m not really looking forward to those emergency surgery cases 😅
I interviewed for an operating room position. I received a job offer before the end of the interview and I’m waiting on a formal offer. I am very nervous about the change since I have been a bedside nurse for 14 years. I am nervous about the new skills that I am going to learn and seeing a whole new side of nursing also Ugly Love my second favorite of Colleen Hoover after it ends with us.
Hi I hope you are enjoying the OR I started the last month and it is very interesting. I went fresh out of school to the OR. Im still taking the period 101 course and going to simulations and I have 2 days at my site to observe and put in practice what I have learn. Im working M-F 7-3 because of the training which lasts 6-9 months. once you are comfortable in the role and pass your final test you can choose bet 3-12 shifts or 4- 10 hour shift.
Thank you for this video! I’m a soon to be new grad OR nurse starting on Valentine’s Day. I just have to pass my NCLEX (fingers crossed) on February 5th.
Omg congrats!! You’ll have to let me know how you like once you start. Good luck on your NCLEX! A few tips: Go with your first pick of THE BEST answer in the options, don’t create what isn’t in the scenario, and don’t study the day before! ☺️
I'm a critical care nurse moving into the OR soon. How bad is the burn out? I'm hoping it isn't as bad as the ICU, but I'm just unsure if I even want to stay in the profession long term.
Usually it’s the whole team that’s in the room with you! Surgical tech, surgical assistant some times if you have one, and float staff IF they’re available lol
I almost had a heart attack when you got close to the microscope 😂! I was thinking please don’t contaminate I don’t want to Redrape! (Like it was my room)
I’ve done all! Currently 4x10s (my least favorite 🫠) But as much as I love 12s there’s something about getting to leave at 3p on an 8 hour day that is lovelyyyy.
@@MikaelaWashington I've worked 8s and 10s as an ER aid. nvr 12s before. I have just been accepted to a new grad OR position in the hospital (8hrs) and I am excited -- i start in a month and have been binge watching youtube lol! I think working 5x a day and getting of at 3pm is worth it to me. better schedule for my outside/family life. thanks!

Did you ever go into surgical?
@@His_ChristieRose I did. I'm currently at a level 1 facility in the south that trains both circulating and scrubbing.
@@DartSpeed awesome. I was thinking of PACU when I saw your ICU experience.
@@DartSpeedhow do you like the OR and how long was the training?
@@nalaamour I'm really enjoying it. Orientation is right around six months.

Thanks for sharing 💕
After 44 yrs of theatre nursing, sooooo glad I’m now retired X
Hi💕 do you usually set up the room by yourself?
Usually it’s the whole team that’s in the room with you! Surgical tech, surgical assistant some times if you have one, and float staff IF they’re available lol
I almost had a heart attack when you got close to the microscope 😂! I was thinking please don’t contaminate I don’t want to Redrape! (Like it was my room)
Thank you for this♥️. I hope to be an OR nurse, its so awesome to see first hand.
It’s the hidden spot in healthcare people does seem to get to see much. Happy to share as much as I can! More to come 🤗
Do you work 8, 10, or 12 hour days?
I’ve done all! Currently 4x10s (my least favorite 🫠) But as much as I love 12s there’s something about getting to leave at 3p on an 8 hour day that is lovelyyyy.
