Jan 17, '12 by CheesePotatoGood evening--
Check the job postings in hospitals looking for an orientation or residency program in the OR. OR nursing is taught through hands on traning experience, hence the residency programs, etc, that exist to allow new folks to get their foot in the door.
Good luck to you! -
Feb 9, '12 by ScrubRNwannabeSorry just found your post.
Umm...I found that there is an online class you can take. Here is the link: Ambulatory Periop 101 : Association of periOperative Registered Nurses
Or you can go here to find OR class near you:
Online Directory
The class that offers at hospital or surgery center means you have to be their employee or you have to be accepted into their program.
I am currently taking class at College of the Canyons. Here is info:
Fast Track Institute
Hope this is helpful.
