Hey!!! Congrats on almost being done!! I am a new grad and just had an interview for an OR position. The nurse manager told me that they like new grads because they get to teach them their way of doing things. She said sometimes they do recommend med-surg experience if they feel the applicant needs it. My school offered OR nursing as a summer elective so I was able to get some experience in the OR. I think its great you shadow someone and know that OR nursing is what you want to do because they want to find people that are willing to go through the long training and stick with the OR. Good Luck with everything!!!!
