Help getting in OR

Specialties Operating Room

Published

Hello all!

I have been interested in working OR long before I became a nurse. I currently work on a busy ortho/neuro floor. I have been a nurse for three years. I have been trying for over a year to get into the OR where I work. I have submitted application after application for a position when it becomes available. I have recently shadowed in OR and submitted my application. I even spoke to our OR director who said she would get with the OR manager and set up a "behavioral interview". The holiday week came and I hadn't heard from anyone. I chalked it up to it being a holiday week and tried to be patient. It has been almost a month but I finally got the rejection message of "Thank you for your interest in..." I am beyond frustrated. I have changed my resume many times in hopes it would get picked up. I am sad and frustrated. Any advice is very much appreciated.

Thank you everyone for your input, I am very appreciative of it! I wanted to update y'all. After patiently waiting these last couple of months, I was finally able to interview for a position at the hospital I am currently employed. I am excited to say a position was offered to me and I have accepted. I cannot wait to start this new endeavor!
