   I left med/surg for the OR. I love it so far and hope never to go back.

4. If I hate being a Cna, should I stop pursuing Nursing?

   bg6RN replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Pre-Nursing

   From what I've seen in the OR, the drape goes up near the patient's head and blocks anesthesia's view of the surgery. I don't think you'd be able to see much. Why not become a scrub tech or OR nurse (in scrub role). If seeing the insides of bodies is...

   bg6RN replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Pre-Nursing

9. recent New Grad-- which job to take???

   bg6RN replied to krstxn's topic in General Nursing
