Think about Baylor again... did she tell you that the hospital has a week day crew and a weekend crew? I worked at Baylor WAY back there in the early 80's... actually I worked Mon/Tue/Wed 12 hour...
My advice to you is to contiunue your nursing degree plan and upon graduation, start looking for an OR nurse internship program... most of these will be found in larger cities and in the teaching...
Most of the larger hospitals in the Dallas areas should offer some type of OR internship program .... you may have to wait until an opening comes up.. try Baylor and Parkland...these internships...
