OR nurse, Which major I can in for master degree

Specialties Advanced

Published

I work in OR.

And I'm planning to step a graduate course.

but the problem is there is no appropriate major I can in for master.

the best major I choose is I think FNP.

But I thought it's not useful to OR nurse.

how FNP major can be effective to my future career as a OR nurse?

should I change my working part in a hospital? like ICU or med/surg part..

or is master degree unnecessary to OR nurse??

but I want to improve myself.

if there is no suitable major for master,

what else ways I can choose to upgrade for my future OR career?

You could do the Acute Care NP track and then do an RFNA course and work as a first assist. That's the route I hope to do.

I don't really know any NPs in the OR- I'm sure there are some but I would think they would be ACNPs rather than FNP.

Also keep in mind that NP is an entire different role than RN. It's not the same as a certification. It's not meant for sharpening RN skills and theories.
