Does experience on a surgical floor give you a leg up for a job in the OR?

Maybe not the OR but how about preadmit or preop area.... being on a surgical floor you might be intune to the OR "needs" a little more....

In the peds OR, you will do lots of ortho, cleft palate repairs, hernia repairs, bronchs, maybe some burns. I like doing Peds sometimes because the instrument sets are smaller. It will be a good experience for you!

that course you took as an elective will carry more weight than 15 years of experience on ANY floor.... it truely is a whole new world through those doors---
