Hi, you could look into hospital based Perioperative programs. They pay you and you get experience at that hospital vs some college programs that are not directly affiliated with a hospital.
I come from the Foothills Medical Center in Calgary and we run programs continuously.
It is a 10 Week full time program and a 2 year commitment to gain experience.. busy place though.. Level 1 Trauma Center.
You had best be up for it, because it WILL challenge you.
You could contact one of our Educators directly. There are 4 but (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) # is (MODERATOR EDIT OF PHONE NUMBER).
Say Hi from Wendy in Houston!
Good Luck!
