Loyola is a great hospital! you would have to commute tho if you live in the city of Chicago. I did my clinicals there and for the most part it was a good experience. However, from what I have heard,...
I wouldn’t haha I have decided OR is not the best option for me if I want to go back to school. I am considering PA school tho later on if I still want to be in the OR. I have actually decided to...
Thank for you this info!! Very helpful and makes me highly consider this route more than the PA route which is what I was leaning towards. Do you think it would be wise to be an OR nurse or ER nurse...

How did you find someone to even consider you after 3 months? I have sent out about 5 applications and got denied everywhere very quickly, even a nurse residency program. I am very upset because my...

Hello all! I am fresh out of nursing school and I am already thinking about my goal to become an NP (I am a huge planner lol). I am a nurse on a surgical/tele floor and I am already planning on...
What do surgical NPs do? Can you explain your role and what a typical day is like? Is having a RNFA beneficial? Do surgical NPs scrub in and help assist? Also, does being an OR nurse help you become a...

Can you switch nursing jobs after only 6 months, within the hospital or even to a new hospital? I just started my first job and I am not enjoying it. I want to switch to the OR, but I do not want to...
