After working in the OR for the last 15 years, I can't imagine working anywhere but the OR. It is very different than floor nursing and there are a lot of dynamic personalities there. But I still wouldn't work anywhere else.

If you decide to work in surgery keep this in mind: It pays to anticipate the surgeon, ie instruments, ligatures etc. And it doesn't hurt to be pretty good at dodging sharp projectiles while working with one surgeon in particular I can tell you!
