Thanks for the opinion, I think I can do OR nursing well as long as I get a good orientation- I think most places do 6 weeks, right?

.... I agree, a good orientation means everything. I have been working at a "doc-in-the-box" except 20 years ago when I worked med-surg a year or so, but things were so different then, and it seems like a lifetime ago, but I really don't feel like that was where I belonged... even as a Candy-Striper (yes, I wore the stripped dress and all) I hung around the OR as much as I could because I just wanted to peek in there every chance I got, which I did sometimes. By the way, if I have done this reply wrong, please tell me b/c I am new at this and am not sure how to keep up a forum.... Thanks!

Does anyone have any opinion on whether or not I should just go straight to the O.R. after school since that is what I have always wanted dince being a kid, to rotating through the O.R. in LPN school, 'til now in LPN Transition- it is the only thing I feel drawn to... If I don't ever plan to "work the floor" anyway, why should I "get the experience"? I am in my 40's and I am ready to go straight to my goal, which has always been scrub / circulating O.R. R.N.?
