Hello everyone! I just graduated nursing school about 3 weeks ago. Think I have a pretty good chance at landing a position as an operating room nurse. I had the opportunity to observe a fee surgeries while in nursing school and I got the impression that the RN really wasn't as responsible for as much as say a floor nurse. Being a new grad I really just want to take a position that will give me a great bit of experience. The OR does sound like a wonderful start I just would hate to take the position and regret it due to not having enough hands on learning in this crucial time. Thanks in advance for any one who can offer advice or suggestions ?
