RNFA prereqs

[inspir8tion]

Hi:

I am new to the OR and have about 5 months left of a 9 month program. I only have an ADN. Do I need a BSN to get my RNFA? Is there anyone who has gone through this and is an RNFA? Is it worth going for it? Do you have to live in one of the states that has the RNFA class program or can you do the program online and do your clinicals where you live?

Thanks in advance for any information.

FORGIVE ME BUT IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE OR, YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE THINKING ABOUT BEING AN FA JUST YET. IT TAKES YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND YOU NEED TO BE A PROFICIENT SCRUB IN THE SERVICE THAT YOU WILL BE ASSISTING IN. IT IS ALSO A REQUIREMENT FOR THE RNFA PROGRAM YOU HAVE TO SHOW SCRUB CLINICAL COMPETENCY, THESE WOULD COME FROM YOU EMPLOYER AS PART OF YOUR ADMISSION TO AN FA PROGRAM.
