As with any upstart changing program, our current Perioperative Nursing Program has been changed drastically from the last cohorts who have graduated from it. Currently it's now called STORN - Surgical Technology for the Operating Room Nurse. We are a surgical tech program on steroids, in a very fast paced program. We have two quizzes every class day, 1 in lecture which is written and 1 in lab which is consistent with the checkoffs of Nursing school.
I hope to have a ton of pictures, we are also going to be the subject of a local media outlet is doing a series on this class. It is also being written up for the Journal of AORN.
The only thing is that I really don't want to spend 230 on 1 book! It's not even the only book for this class, it's book number 5. For 1 semester the books alone have costed 500, with rentals!
I had better get a job offer outta all of this!
HOWEVER>>> I AM STILL THINKING I MAY NEED TO DROP THIS CLASS BECAUSE WE JUST HAVE SO MUCH GOING ON AND SCHEDULING IS A NIGHTMARE! >>>>>
Wow! Sounds like it will be a great (albeit intense) experience! I hope you find a way to stay in!!!
ReplyDeleteOh My God.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all this!!
I followed one of our orthopaedic surgeons through a shoulder replacement surgery.
Brutal.
So much brining (I think that's the word when they twist that instrument into the bone to make the stuff fit right...)
ultimately, the pt was septic like 4 days later and returned with tracheitis - had a trach the entire time because of some throat cancer years ago...
anywho... wishing you all the best on this new venture!
I need to get my BSN on, but I want to get some work (and money) under my belt first.
LOVE keeping up with you!
How's all the fostering going??
