I am a new grad RN and I have a job offer to work as a circulate RN in orthopedic surgeries. A typical day may consist of 20 cases and I believe the facility has 10 operating rooms. My orientation length will be 3 months and they do offer Periop 101.
What are your thoughts on the length of orientation and also is 20 cases a day really busy? I actually wanted to learn how to be a scrub nurse as well but unfortunately this facility uses surgical techs.

So I decided to go with the offer that allows me to have 6 months of orientation circulating in the different services. Wish me luck.
