Most Nurses hired into the OR these days have no scrub experience at all. I think that that would be a wonderful idea, f you can juggle the scrub tech school and some courses for your RN that would be great. If you apply to a large hospital where they are willing to teach you how to scrub you have it made

According to the new AORN position statement on the RN FIRST ASSISTANTs, you do not need a BS if you finish the training for the RNFA before Jan 2020. It also states that you are encouraged to sit for and maintain your CRNFA The Position statement revision approved by the AORN board of directors was August 2012 Editorial revisions done in 12/2013. If you are really interested there is a program out there by NIFA RNFA program. Look into this I am retiring this year and have alway wanted to be a first assist. I have worked in the OR for 42 years.
