Can an LPN work as a Surgical Tech?
I apologize...I meant: once I get my RN license , if I can't find a job as an RN, am I still able to work as a CNA/PCA until I do find work as an RN?

RN and/or Scrub Tech
Good Morning. I am currently in an Associate Degree Nursing Program and know I want a job in the OR. I have observed the roles of both the Circulating Nurse and the Scrub Tech and ideally would love a job in which I could do both. I am considering entering a year long Scrub Tech program immediately after I graduate from the Nursing Program. Once I get certified as a Scrub Tech, will I legally be able to work as a Scrub and an RN for different organizations? An RN in one and a Scrub in another? I eventually want to continue getting my Bachelors but want to gain the experience of both while I'm doing so. Any words of advise would be greatly appreciated.

Can an LPN work as a Surgical Tech?
Hopefully someone will read this: I am currently in an Associate's Degree Nursing Program and know I want to be in the OR. I have observed the role of both the RN and the Surgical Tech during an operation and realize I want to be able to do both! I am thinking of immediately entering a Surgical Tech Program after I graduate but am wondering if I am legally able to work as both? On another note...I am currently working as a PCN/CNA and was wondering if I am unable to find an RN job, am I legally allowed to continue working as an RN? Thanks for any help!

University of Louisiana-Lafayette online RN-BSN
I am interested in the UL RN-BSN online program and notice they don't really list specifics about the co-requisite courses, just general subjects(math/english/art/history). Does anyone know if any 100 level course will suffice or are they pretty specific about what would be acceptable for each category? For example, for the communication requirement, do I need to take public speaking or will they accept introduction to communication? For history, will any history class do? What about the art requirement? I'd like to take a couple courses this summer so I can concentrate on just taking the Nursing courses once I get into the program, but not sure what will or will not be accepted as one of the co-requisites. Appreciate any advice!
