Hello :) would you be able to talk/demonstrate common medications you use in the OR and how you draw them up etc. And every case is different, but the common instruments/tools that you usually work with, like the names to know/function etc. Maybe also like how you interview your patient prior to surgery, important questions, comforting words when you have an anxious patient what has helped you calm them down what you like to tell them etc. Thank you!! and how you handle tough situations with surgeons and strong personalities, when you forgot something, having strong skin, etc. Thank you
Congrats! I hope u get the job! Pls do u remember the type of interview questions that was asked. I have OR interview coming up and want to be prepared.
@@gracea.5736 She asked like the standard, “tell me about yourself? why our hospital? why the OR in particular?” and some behavioral/work ethic stuff like “describe a time when you had a conflict with a colleague and what did you do, attendance for work, describe to me what roles nurse have in the OR so i described a circulator and a scrub nurse” and an interesting one that i wasn’t as prepared for was “what would you do if you didn’t get the job?” and i think there might have been another one but i forget, mine was a 45 minute zoom interview but it was very casual and she described the OR program and what kind of surgeries they specialize in like trauma surgery
omg, no more cases after lunch so you got to leave! woo! i work at a large trauma center with about 200-220 cases each day, and man are we busy. i consider my day good if we finish cases around 7p, but there are plenty of evenings we go until midnight or later. i may transfer to a smaller hospital/OR in the future.

Came across your channel looking into OR nursing and I won’t say where you’re from but we are city buddies lol! Just made it to my 1 year of nursing and looking for a job change. I’m definitely thinking of the OR as a possibility.
Hi there! Love your videos! I wanted to ask what do you do if your cases get cancelled and youre sent home.. doesn't that mean a pay cut since you're working less hours or is there a way for you to make up hours? I want to make sure that you are able to work a full 40 hrs a week regardless of cases being cancelled.
🙂Hello and thank you! So I think it depends on where you work and what's available at your facility. We have other ways of getting our ours here. They will also ask us if we want to go home, if not they will go to the next person. Trust me if you don't want to go home, someone else always does lol!
@@rumailahussain3178 Not necessarily float. Like I said it just depends on where you work. At my facility there are plenty of things to keep us busy when we have downtime or not a lot of surgeries that day.
My lunch break is sacred to me. I wear ear buds and listen to music, but people still try to chat with me. I love my patients, but I need that 30 minute break from talking about them.
Hospital looks beautiful
You are such an inspiration Naptural! Thank you for helping me
decide to be an OR nurse.
Love the on-site scene of the day to day operations! Great Video!
Thank you so much!😁
Great video! Thank you for taking us along with you.
Where did you get your scrub cap? It’s so cute!
Do you work at an HCA facility?
Curious, Are you not required to change into hospital provided scrubs? I noticed you're wearing your outside clothes in the OR.
Thank you for sharing this!!!! I want to become an OR Nurse one day! Currently in LPN school now and I fell in love with my OR rotation. Thanks again!

Does your work as an OR nurse involve specific types of surgeries/specialties, or any surgery that may arise?
Great video. What are your typical hours? How many days per week do you work? Do you work nights, holidays, weekends?
I am struggling choose between cardiac telemetry and OR right now, I got two offer....
What is telemetry?
@@cocoreo89 the unit for monitoring cardiac patient remotely through the use of sophisticated telemetry equipment after surgery, procedure and other cardiac treatment or intervention
so what position did you end up choosing?
@@Luv2Shop313 telemetry but now is medical surgical
When you leave early, do you get paid for full 8 hour shift or just how much you were there for?

So you write alot as a circulator?
Please keep the videos coming.
Thanks for your video. Do you get paid hourly or per cases?
Hourly
Great video!!

Thank you so much😊

@@Naptural_RN thanks for replying! So you have to float to another unit if you want to stay? I wouldn’t want to have to float to make my hours

Love this! I’m a new grad, looking forward to transitioning to the OR as a specialty! Where did you get your scrub hat from? @naptural_rn
🙂Thank you and congrats! I think I got it from Amazon.
