Lol, I was probably tired when I first played this video, but yeah his voice put me right to sleep. So yeah you're right...but I did rewatch the video when I was less tired. Good info.
OR is not good for new grads. You don’t learn any nursing skills. I’m in OR straight out of nursing school and I wanted to be here but you don’t learn nursing skills at all! No direct pt care so please be careful when considering this one !
I'm thinking of immediately starting a nurse residency program after I get my BSN RN. Then hopefully starting a job as a circulator RN in the OR. Lemme know what you think
Im an OR nurse. Very doable and it’s exactly how I did it. I did one month rotations in three units of my choice then started directly in the OR. You get 6 months training no matter what (new grad or experienced) so if you know that the OR is what you want, go for it right away.
It can be frustrating but I think there are some things you can do to help make that process easier and to give you a better chance. I address your comment in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rfCb_shjgow.html It's some of the same strategies I used myself.
I should make a video on this, but I haven't yet. I do have this article on NurseMoneyTalk that has some examples of nursing jobs outside the hospital. nursemoneytalk.com/blog/non-bedside-nursing-jobs
Hello, I am a new grad nurse ASN, also with 20 years experience as a paramedic in the ER. People don't talk much about paramedics and what we can bring to the table. I would like to work in ICU CVU or NICU I want to be well rounded critical care thinker but I also feel that I should be able to negotiate a higher salary. What are your thoughts on this?
I specifically talk about your question in this video I just published ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5vpLUIW7Iv4.html Let me know what you think.
What’s your opinion on working for the VA as. GN? I was looking into it and drawn in by the benefits but haven’t heard many people talk about it and can’t find a lot of information on it. Would this be a smart career path?
