I am experiencing this delemma now. I wanted to go to the RNFA program. I have been a nurse for 12 years. I work L&D we scrub circulate and recover for csections. I was told by AORN that I do qualifiy to sit for my CNOR and to be admitted to the RNFA class, however my employer has mostly scrub techs or other docs assisting. When I asked if i could assist if i go through this they said yes. But could not tell me how much they pay. They said something about the others being more experienced. But they are techs and I am an RN. Is this going to be worth it for me?
