I'm looking for thoughts/advice on starting out in the OR. I will be graduating this May and of all my clinical rotations I loved the OR the most. I've had some instructors tell me that starting a career in the OR as a new grad isn't advised because of losing nursing skills. But then others working in the field say just the opposite and it's a wonderful place to start if that's your passion. So many in my class know exactly where they want to work, but I'm struggling with finding that perfect fit. I know I'm not interested in a med-surg floor and the areas that I think I would enjoy would be an ICU, PACU or the OR.
Any feed back would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
