OR Nurse to LNC?

by rbs105

Out of curiousity, are any of you LNCs previously-or still practicing-OR nurses? I am wondering if this is enough background to become an LNC. I realize they say all you need is an RN license, but I can't help but think that many of the clinical issues we don't see in the OR may affect the ability to have the thorough knowledge needed to go over cases. I have dabbled on med surg floors, but I am primarily an OR nurse. Is there too much I have missed out on to go into LNC? I would like to know. Thank you!

Default Re: OR Nurse to LNC?
You already possess the knowledge you need to be an LNC. Don't underestimate yourself just because you are specialized. I am an LNC and I am a pediatric nurse. If you really want to be an LNC, you can do it. If you have a case not related to OR, then you just look it up in a book!! If you can research, you can do this. I have faith in you and your knowledge. Good luck!!
