I am in a similar situation. I was a surgical tech for six years and became a nurse. I was not sure if I wanted a career in OR once I finished because I wanted to experience something else. It has been very difficult as a new grad to find a position, but I finally did and for the past two months I have been a triage nurse at a clinic. I love the variety and patient interaction. Recently I was offered a position as an OR nurse. I'm wondering if I should go for it. There are many positives if I take it. Do I have room to negotiate as a new grad even though I have OR experience??
