OR Questions

I am currently an ADN, RN who will soon be going back for my BSN. I've been looking into a few options as far as what I'd like to do after earning my BSN. Are there opportunities for nurses to have an MSN degree relating to the OR? I've seen CNOR and RNFA, but that's about it. I've narrowed down what I'd like to advance my career in, but they're very different fields so I'm trying to scope each field out to find out what I'd ultimately be happy doing.

    It would depend on the type of MSN you go for- mine is in nursing education; I am in an educator role. An advanced practice degree could lead to being an NP with a surgical practice, first assisting in the OR itself as well as seeing patients in the office and rounding on them on inpatient units. Then there's the management route- specialty line supervisor, nurse manager, director of the department. Might even find OR specific informatics- we have a team dedicated just to the perioperative modules of our electronic medical record system.

    Thank you so much for your response! I'd never thought there'd be informatics just for electronic medical record side of the OR. I think I'm just so worried about advancing my career because I've heard there are so many NP's that many aren't able to find jobs as NP's. Also, I've known of MSN nurses not being able to find work as an advanced nurse. They're still doing floor nursing.
