I am currently a surgical tech in operating room with 19 years scrubbing and I graduated from nursing school a few years ago but didn't pass NCLEX. I am currently studying again and will be passing and getting RN licence. I want to apply for operating room nurse in a hospital .. will I get any credit for my scrubbing years in pay? I would hope I won't have to start at bottom of RN pay I am sure I make more as a surgical tech.
