Sorry you’re going through this. At my facility, we have to option to use PTO, we make our own schedule, so getting days off are not hard. We get paid extra to scrub and to precept another nurse. We have separate staff to do our turn over. We also get 6 months of training, and they will extend orientation if you need it.
Omg your video reminded me how much I loved and hated the OR at the same time, I was a CNA for 3 years there and I was often mistreated and overworked by the management it was a horrible experience and very stressful but overall I like the OR, also my coworkers were nice we were like a family.
I was an Operating Room Nurse in Germany (level 1 trauma, one of the largest municipal hospitals in Europe). I'm currently looking into Private Duty Nursing, lol.
I’m a surgery nurse of 3 years and I will say not all places are like this my little ones was 3 when I started and my shift was a 9hour shift and I would do call a little after my shift or sometimes weekends.. Not all places make you take call like this..surgery centers are even better because no call or weekend 🥳
Sounds like a pretty poor facility. I’ve been in the OR for almost a year and a half and have a pretty happy environment. We have separate staff for turnover, only take 6-12 hours of call per 6 weeks, have 6 months of training, pto is pretty fair, and have been trained in all services

Your Welcome!
I just graduated this past May and accepted a position in the OR. No contract thank God.
Thank you for making this vid. This is exactly the information I needed 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for this informative video.
You look cute sis 🥰
Thank you!!
Do you think denying PTO is specific to your hospital or just surgical nursing in general?
I’m doing my nursing pre-reqs and want to do OR, but after watching a couple videos, it seems to be not kid friendly 😩. I have a small child.
