Hi, I have about one year experience in the O.R. and looking to go back to school for an advance degree. I have researched many schools and many MSN degree options and Im a little confused. I originally wanted to get a MSN in clinical leadership but was informed that it does not translate to O.R. like it traditionally would for floor nurses. I looked into N.P. but feel like my skills (assessment) have drastically diminished since graduating nursing school in 2012 and working only in the O.R. since. Now, Im looking at MSN/MBA route but unsure if that is something someone with only a years experience should consider. It does not make sense for me to have an MSN/MBA degree with about 3 years of O.R. nursing experience if I can not use that degree upon graduating. I have to be strategic about what advance degree option I choose and its job outlook because I have a TON of student loans (2 bachelors). The busisness aspect of O.R. nursing is appealing to me and so does a clinical leadership role. Im hoping to start school next fall with about 1.5 years of experience under my belt and having 3.5 by the time I graduate. I plan on working fulltime and studying parttime. I have a bachelors in chemistry and a bachelors in nursing. If anyone has been down this road/done research in this or can shed any information, Id greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Im a new grad in an OR Residency program. I've been feeling light headed and had to excuse myself during a few procedures. I wanted to ask if this is something that people new to the OR experience or is this me. I don't know why I react this way and am scared it's something that I can't correct. On some procedure, I was able to scrub/assist in retracting without any problems, usually the short procedures but the times that I felt weak and light headed occurred during a toe removal and a hernia repair. For the hernia repair, I didn't feel light headed until the procedure was almost over. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

I've also applied but have not heard anything yet. I know they have contacted applications for phone interviews.

Thats cool! I had the HR interview last week and my panel in 2 weeks. Goodluck!

Did you schedule a phone interview with someone from HR or is this the panel interview?

Has anyone been contacted for panel interview?

Has anyone been contacted for phone interviews?

Whoa! Your NY nursing license is good for 3 years when they grant RN license for the first time in NY?

Can you post link for the hospital website viet girl, for people who would like to apply next time around, myself included. Thanks!

Are they still accepting applications? If so, can you a link?

Hi Nurse2bKimberly, I didn't see an open posting for a med surg position. Did you just apply to any position and got a call back from HR and that was when you found out about these new grad positions or did you apply directly to their new grad residency program? Thanks!

same here! im fron san jose, ca and jobs here are unheard of especially for new grads. been applying to all new grad positions in several states as well. i also got that email from hr about TX license, shift preference and pay rate.

Awesome! Are you from the area?

Hi, Just wanted to start a thread for the MD Anderson Cancer Center RN Residency program that is scheduled to start on Sept. 9,2013. I just applied but haven't heard anything back but Im not worried as they are still accepting applications up until July 19. Anyone else applied?

Have you heard back from MD Anderson? I applied for the same position.
