Alberta LPN Operating Room Tech

Published

Hey folks, I'm a fairly new LPN graduate in Edmonton, Alberta. I've been working for about 2 years now, majority in a busy ortho/plastics surgery unit at one of our hospitals. I've been considering taking the operating room tech course for LPN's through Grant MacEwan ever since I've graduated. Now that I have some experience under my belt I think it may be time to start the distance courses. I have not talked to ANYBODY who has done this course. I don't know any LPNs who work in the OR here in Edmonton. From what I understand the starting wage is only about 1$/hr more than my current LPN wage. Also, on the AHS website I've only be able to find about 5 jobs in the entire province that are open for application. And only one job here in edmonton at the U of A.

Does anybody have any info on the Perioperative course at G.M? Or any info on where all the jobs are hiding?

There are LPN/ORTs in the ORs at the RAH and the U.

The course work isn't difficult if you are motivated to self study. It's the preceptorship that is tricky.

You need 15 posts before you can receive PMs. You need to build up you posts.

Hi there,

I know this is an old threat, but I am wondering if you ever ended up taking the course and can provide some insight. I am currently enrolled
