Actually, the OR is one place where you don't need an advanced degree unless you want to be in management. There are no clinical specialists or nurse practitioner positions in the OR. They do use nurse practitioners in some recovery rooms and in pre-op testing in the larger medical centers.
Would you like to comment?
