it has played a major role for me, I feel more confidence when talking and dealing with pts

I am currently enrolled in LPN program in GA, just finished my first semester. I also am a Certified Surgical Tech. I was out of the healthcare field for sometime, long story. I love the OR and scrubbing. The problem I had getting back into the OR was most hospitals want you to be 30 or minutes or less away for call. I live in a small town and the local hospital has there TECHS in place for now. Nearest other hospitals are an hour away so that screwed me there. I went into LPN as I need a job now I'm 43 and have a family to support. I want to get back into the OR as a First Assistant so I am looking at going further to get my RN then attend a FA program. The OR is AWESOME and after being a CNA for the past 6 months and doing my first clinical rotation in LPN program, I would take the OR anyday. Just thought I would reply.

Looks like all the LPN classes are starting within a week of each other. I'm a 43 yr old male starting next Wednesday. Looking forward to getting the ball rolling. Worked as a Certified Surgical Tech in the US Navy for 6 years and 2 years in the civilian sector. Looking at going to RN school after LPN and then to persue Certification in First Assisting. Once you've been in the OR is is so hard to leave. Just want to say GOOD LUCK to all those who are starting their new careers and following their dreams. If anybody has any tips/tricks for a new LPN students, let me know.

I am in need of aOR Nurse that will do an interview for me. I have a list of questions that I have to ask and then do a paper on. I would need the person that accept the interview to write a quick little note just stating I asked the questions to prove I didn't just "BS" my way through it, or a business card for proof.
