What I say today differs greatly from what I would have said ten years ago about something; and ten years from now, I'm sure I will say something that may, or may not, completely contradict what I say today. Crazy right? NO! It is all just a result of what I decide to do with new information and experiences. It's learning, it's growing, and while I share how I grow and my thoughts change while going through life, I also hope to be sowing seeds of encouragement and Faith that help you go through yours. I recommend coming with an open mind and heart. Thank you for listening!

ED to OR | My experience working in the operating room

Hello and thanks for listening!

I apologize for my late night brain as this was recorded last minute for you guys and I've been kind of shoving all of my nurse memories as far back as I possibly can while I sort out what I want to do next but I hope that this early morning description below sounds a bit more clear!

I know this podcast is lengthy but the crazy part is, it still didn't capture everything! The dabakey, bonney, kocher, adson and more instruments that are sure to blow your mind with all their names and what makes each one unique; the shoes you keep in your locker specifically for work, the booties you have to put over them when you cross lines, and how an adrenaline junkie might lose interest after staring at, and smelling, the same piece of a persons body for more than ten minutes in a freezing room.

It is a unique experience hence why it's said to be a specialized interest of nursing. In this video podcast I "briefly" discuss what I enjoyed about the transition and did not enjoy, as well as describe a day in the OR. I failed to mention that the coolest surgery to me personally was a craniotomy done to remove cancerous tissue because of its mix of cold, outdated looking equipment to hold a persons head off of the OR table along with the use of todays newest technology that uses MRI images to estimate, in real time, where the neurosurgeon will cut -- WHEW! Amazing, seeing how hard it is to pull off the skull from the brain matter that lies underneath and then just seeing it sit on a table before you; but again, could get repetitive if you see it more than once (or you could never get tired of it). Whatever the case may be, I hope this video podcast was informative.

If any of this resonated with you, or you'd like to hear more about my journey through nursing, life, and fitness, give me a follow on your favorite podcast listening platform and check me out on instagram and YouTube!
