Interested in OR

[Apollonia]

Hello, I'm up in Vancouver Canada here. We have the nursing program for four years, and I have the opportunity to get trained during my last 3 months of school, then complete the other 3 months of training while on the job and work right after my graduation. I am only in my third year but I already know I want to do this.

Questions, is it ok to go straight to OR nursing and bypassing the whole med/surg thing.

Also, I want to start reading up on this stuff now, the tools, what I would learn in the courses just so I'm ready. Where can I find the info on the internet? I search on google but all I'm getting is info from various schools about the courses not the actual material. Any help would be muchly appreciated. Thanks.

Me again, ok, so you guys can bypass the whole med/surg thing, read the thread in the board but if you guys could direct me to some websites that have "OR Nursing" information that I could start studying up now that'd be wonderfull.

Something like that, but without the cost cause as far as i see you have to pay to use the website.
