Thanks! I was thinking PRN in OR for a while to get used to acute OR setting

Thank you for the advise. Definitely appears to be the route I need to take.

I am a scrub nurse at an outpatient surgery center on vascular accesses. I scrub in with the doctor and assist in procedures, however, we only do 6 procedures that are very specific to just vascular access surgeries. I also assist with circulating during the procedures. Does this put me at a disadvantage on finding jobs? That I only have experience in a very specific specialty, as well as it being an outpatient surgery center? Thanks in advance! Oh, and I am planning on traveling when I have 18 mos of experience, but I am still worried that my very specific specialty will transfer as nothing.

Hi! I have a year of experience as an RN in an outpatient vascular access center as an scrub nurse and circulating nurse. I am very proficient in maintaining a sterile field, aseptic technique, and circulating. However, my problem is that it is a very, very specific field and not in a hospital setting. Does this put me at a disadvantage since I only do procedures specific to vascular access? I want to travel as an RN, and my specialty is technically OR..
