Hi everyone,

I am trying to make a decision between a PACU internship and an OR internship. These internships do not come around much so I am trying to see which would be a better fit for me. I would LOVE to do them both, but I can't!!! Can anyone tell me the pros and cons to each specialty? Also, what are the differences in hours/schedules between the two. Thank you!

Welcome to allnurses!

I've always heard that the PACU is a great place to extern, really gives you a chance to hone your assessment skills. Probably just depends on what sort of nursing you want to do when you graduate!

Good luck! :)
