Any Ontario OR nurses in here?

Hello everyone, it's my first post in here and am very glad to connect with you all!

Moderators, I don't know if this is more appropriate to post in the Canadian forum or in here?

First off, I want to say that OR nursing is my passion and it started when I observed a cardiac bypass surgery in nursing school and have been thinking about it ever since. I'm a new RN registered in Ontario and would love to get in to OR right away. I would like to know if taking any of the postgrad pre-op courses from George Brown or Centennial would be helpful in landing a job without experience? I am currently volunteering and have bought the necessary textbooks already to read up on.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi there,

I am a recent RPN new grad and when looking for work, I noticed the positions hiring for an OR nurse required a special certificate to practice in this area. So it looks like you will need to enroll at a school. I have just started the OR program at Mohawk college. Humber College, and Centennial have OR programs as well.

Cheers
