Re: how do i get into the or as a tech before i start nu school
Hmmmm...R u talking about a surgical tech, or like techs that act as orderlies? We have a "OR Tech 2" title...That is pulling cases, getting patients, running specimens to the lab, helping hold extremities, etc. You might be able to get a job such as that. In fact, one of our "OR tech 2's" was a nursing student. If you are talking about a surgical tech, I would say forget that. That is a complete different education program, lots of them have associate degrees. It also takes a while for you to become "proficient" in scrubbing even after you have finished your program.
I do agree with the above post though, if you have your sites set on a CRNA you need to work in a real SICU. Good luck.
