Partnership in OR Training Mary Raju Cole, RN, MSN:"Scalpel, retractor, syringe, suction, suture," - the voices and commands of an operating room (OR) in action. Some nurses have always wanted to work in this setting. If you are one of them, Mercy Medical Center and Molloy College may have the right program for you!“ A new nursing shortage is right around the corner,” says Pat Gilbert, RN, BS, assistant director of human resources/nursing at Mercy Hospital Medical Center. “We are already seeing telltale signs in the critical care units, and even more so in the operating room,” she adds." http://nsweb.nursingspectrum.com/cfforms/GuestLecture/partnershipor.cfm ****************************************************** Perioperative nurse turned inventor. (nurse invents large suction cannister):"How many times have you seen a new product in the OR and thought, "Why didn't I think of that?" Or, worse yet, "That's my idea!" Where do most new Product ideas originate? They come from health care professionals working in the trenches and noticing that things could or should be done better or more efficiently. In 1993, I was the circulating nurse during an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedure when a clinical Practice problem set the stage for my invention of a product. I was busy hanging irrigation fluid, changing canisters, and doing paperwork when I had the brilliant idea of getting ahead of the action. I placed several 3-L bags of saline on the arthroscopic pump that was located close to my "desk." http://static.highbeam.com/a/aornjournal/november011997/perioperativenurseturnedinventornurseinventslarges/ ****************************************************** American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)...

After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses." Nurses Station P.O.

These products contribute to the nursing shortage, a public health crisis that threatens millions worldwide." NBC's "Passions":"NBC's "Passions" solves nursing shortage: monkeys can do the job!
