Hi, KatieBug. I am from Texas also, and i am having difficulty getting into the OR. I currently work on a med-surg floor at a hospital. This hospital i work at doesn't have no internships. I have been there about seven months now. I have been trying...

Hi, I have been working Ltc for about a year. Now I am working in a big hospital system on a Med/Surg floor for 5 months now. I have always wanted to work in the OR. I found out at this hospital system that you have to be there for at least 6 months...

I plan to apply at 6 months regardless of getting it or not. This hospital doesn't offer a peri-op program, but I will check on it for the future. There is another hospital system here that offers the peri-op program, and I thought about doing that. ...

Thanks for responding. I am not getting charged for the event. I just have to pay to get there (transportation, gas, hotel, etc. ). You are right, I think it would be just about impossible to get a job the first time at this event. I even heard that ...

Hi, I just want to ask: Does anybody go to the recruitment events that hospitals has for internships/residency programs for new Rns/Grads? Has anybody gotton hire (or knows somebody) that has gotton hired by going to these events? Is it possible to l...

I have an upcoming interview and in Texas, where I am at, it is very COLD here. My hands are always freezing. Thanks for the tip. :)

I wanted to be able to wear clogs to. I stopped wearing them because they would slip when I would walk. It was like my feet were sliding all the times. One time I had to run and my clogs came off. So I am wearing basic sneakers now, Skechers really .

Can somebody help me out there? Does anybody know of OR internships at hospitals in the San Antonio area? I have been looking on the web at various hospital's websites and just haven't seen any yet. I seen some OR jobs, but they say you got to have e...

I think I posted this in the wrong forum. I really wanted to post it in the OR forum so some of the OR nurses could see this. Any suggestions for moving my post to the OR forum? I guess I can rewrite this but I was just trying to move it instead of r...

The information was helpful. Thanks for your replies.

I just had a phone interview today with a big hospital. I have never done one before. I think I did Ok answering the questions. They said they would let me know something in a couple of weeks, because they had many applicants to interview over the ph...

No, I am not working in my dream specialty yet. I hope to be someday. I have applied for the OR since 2009, to no avail. I currently work in LTC. I do have an interview Monday for med-surg. If I get this job, I am hoping that this is my chance to mak...

I became an Rn last year and I have been looking for a job since then. I have my heart :redbeathe set on working in the Operating Room. Well I had one interview for an OR position awhile ago. I call the OR manager at least every other week to check o...

Your so right, blondy2061h. I will just have to apply at hospitals with that specialty. I can work on the floor for awhile and watch for internal openings such as the OR. That will probably be the only way to get to the OR since it is so difficult to...

Thanks for all your replies. They all seem very helpful. I know for sure I want to work in the OR. When I was in nursing school, I did several rotations through the OR. Just being part of the OR team seem exciting and I know this is where I want to w...

Quick thinking and action on your part. You were in the right place at the right time for that girl. I am sure that girl would be very thankful to you. Nurses are wonderful!!

Thank you for your responses. I will check on that.
