Starting my preceptorship in the OR next week for senior practicum, and applying to residency programs at the same time! Thank you so much for this info!! Great stuff to know that I've never heard about!

So informative because no one would ever think of it being dangerous in regards of surgical smoke. Wow...what about the surgeons inhaling all of these fumes throughout the years.

@mariekano9730 3 ай бұрын

The surgeons, the surgical technicians, making sure your equipment is working before you even bring a patient in the room on time. Consents must be checked and verified, if the patient codes on the table you have to know what to do. If a surgeon asks for a certain suture you better know it they're very impatient and hot headed

The OR has its days. But it's HIGHLY STRESSFUL most times. If you're in a surgery clinic you can be pushing out 40 to 90 patients a day and stay longer than your shift hours. Hospital OR is more stable hours longer and complex cases but the stakes are higher, and you do on call and you circulate and scrub. Im an OR charge nurse for 10 years

Did you hang IVs in the OR? What was the nurse to patient ratio? And what common skills are required (ex. Foley catheter, feeding tube)?

@luvnurseb5552 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! No, you dont do any of that working in the OR. The ratio is 1:1. You stay in the OR room with the same patient from start to finish. OR Nursing does not utilize those typical nursing skills. You help position the patient, do a time out, confirm counts with scrub tech, make sure equipment is functional, and get any supplies the surgeon asks for. Thanks for watching!

@coffeepandacat 3 жыл бұрын

I am currently an IV compounding tech. I was thinking that I wanted to become a surgical tech first but now that I have a better paying pharm tech job I am thinking about just going straight for nursing. Your thoughts? Also had no idea about that smoke... Woah....

@luvnurseb5552 3 жыл бұрын

Hi there! I would go straight to nursing. There are so many things you can do with a nursing degree. I feel like being a surgical tech is intense. Depending on the case, you are standing on your feet for hours, some of the instrument trays are pretty heavy(especially in ortho), you could accidentally get cut with the knife when the surgeon passes it to you etc. Idk...I just dont think its worth it but thats just me 🤷‍♀️.

Hi NurseB ! Do you feel like you learn a lot working in the Operating room ?

@luvnurseb5552 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Khris! Honestly, no. It was cool seeing different types of surgeries and all that goes into the process, but you dont use any nursing skills. You just run around getting what the surgeons needs, make sure equipment is functioning properly, help with prepping the surgical site, and positioning the patient, and of course making sure counts are correct. Its one of those jobs that either you love it or you hate it, and i definitely didnt love it.

@@luvnurseb5552 Hey NurseB, reading that is kind of what I figured...do you think it would be worth it to go into the OR with the goal of becoming a first assist as an RN? It sounds like it might get old doing what you said, but assisting in the surgery sounds like you might learn more. Otherwise it seems like you’d have to go CRNA to be involved more.

@luvnurseb5552 3 жыл бұрын

@@josh_tes hi Josh! I don't know how often nurses become a first assist. That is something you can ask when you interview. I think you would need at least like 5 years, if not more of OR experience. Try to scrub in the cases as much as possible to gain the hands on experience of assisting the surgeon and learning the instruments, sutures, and other machines. If you want to go the CRNA route, dont bother working in the OR. ICU experience is what you really need for that.

@josh_tes 3 жыл бұрын

@@luvnurseb5552 It looked like there's an RNFA first assist certification course you go through after having 2 years of OR experience and get RNOR certified. So I think anywhere you work you'd need to be RNFA certified but I guess it varies by hospital if they hire RNs for that role? I know PA's and med students often assist.
