leaving postpartum for the OR

Published

Hello everyone ,

Ive been on a postpartum unit a little over 3 months and Im thinking about leaving. Iam considering going to the OR in march or april when they have their next orientation. Can anyone tell me how they like the OR and their experiences there. Any advice to give? Iam a new grad so Im trying to make it to my 6mo mark where Im at now. Thanks

Specializes in Med-Surg.

Moving to the OR forum since it's specific to that speciality. Good luck!

Why don't you like the postpatum unit?

The OR can be stressful and there is lots to learn. It is certainly different than most other units.

How bizarre! I'm leaving postpartum for the OR also! Don't get me wrong, I love postpartum and I always plan on being casual in my unit. I loved scrubbing when I was doing L&D.

Also, all the nights are killing me and I want something with more regular hours in general.

Any advice?
