How to become an OR nurse

Updated Jun 01, 2009 at 10:09 PM by Nicole2010

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently a student nurse in Las Vegas,NV and I am looking at specializing in the OR. I am trying to get some input from any current OR on the best way to help achieve my goal. Is there any recommended readings I should start or would obtaining a surg. tech certificate help? I have joined the local chapter of AORN and I plan on attending the meetings when they pick up in September. I am open to any and all advice. Thank you!

Contact the OR educator in the various hospitals and find out if they offer a new grad program.
