Interested in Perioperative Nursing

World Canada

Published

I'm graduating this year from the Practical Nursing program in Saskatchewan. I'm very interested in continuing on to take my perioperative course after gaining experience on a surgical floor for a year or two.

I have many questions about the career/course, so if anyone who is taking or has taken the course wouldn't mind sharing your experience would be awesome! Some of my questions are..

- What types of places can you work? (Hospital, Surgical clinic)

- What would your title be upon graduation? (I've heard ORT, Scrub Nurse, etc).

- What hours would you work at different places? (shift work, on call, mon - fri)

- What is the salary?

Any other experiences or knowledge of the subject would be helpful!!

Thank you
