Yep, I am starting in the fall at Camosun also. Excited and nervous!

they said most likely for fall 2010 but i've been on the list for quite a while... had to finish a bunch of pre-requisites and did some of my electives for the program already. good luck, and yea it's a long wait!

thank you both for the info. i'm actually on the wait list for that program too. :)

just out of curiosity, kalokiari, what program are you going into? i'm also interested in becoming a scrub nurse and am curious to know what the "approved" schools of nursing are for this. great info janfrn! :)

Thanks!

Thank you both. Is it common for RNs to do the circulating or scrub work?

I'm currently trying to get all the pre-nursing courses done while I'm on the wait list for a nursing program in BC... with the hopes of maybe working in the OR at some point. Could anyone help me with some questions I have about OR nursing in Canada? Here comes the barrage: Can you get a job in the OR straight out of nursing school? If not, what do you have to do to get one? I'm also curious about the various roles nurses play in the OR... what do you actually do in there? Do you work outside of the OR too? Is there a Canadian equivalent of the surgical technician or something similar and where can you go to school for this (preferably in BC)? Sorry for all the questions but I couldn't find much info about this online. Any answers would help a lot! :wink2:
