  1. Am I crazy to do LPN to RN instead of ADN

    HTCC replied to HTCC's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My plan would be to immediately go from the LPN program into the RN bridge so I may only work as an Lpn for that year while I'm in school. My my goal is to work in the OR. Would hospitals frown on...

  2. Choosing a program

    HTCC posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am considering nursing as a second career. I live in an area that has multiple nursing programs and I'm trying to make the most reasonable decision as far as where to go. I work for a hospital that...

  3. Do I need a BSN to get an OR position

    HTCC replied to HTCC's topic in Operating Room

    The adn is 2 years, and classes and clinicals are 3 days a week. Typically class days aren't a full day either. The the bsn is 2 years worth crammed into 12 months, so it's truly full time. And that...

  4. Do I need a BSN to get an OR position

    HTCC posted a topic in Operating Room

    I am planning on going to nursing school with the goal of working in the OR. I have 2 options. I already have a bachelors so I could do an accelerated BSN, but the cost of local programs is about...

  5. Do I need a BSN to get an OR position

    HTCC replied to HTCC's topic in Operating Room

    Thanks dlwoodjr. It will actually be longer to do the ADN but much more expensive to do the BSN. I figure I can do the ADN while I work, and then get the BSN with tuition assistance while continuing...

    I am currently considering nursing school to become an OR nurse. I work in a specialty hospital right now, and all of our nurses do on the job training to circulate. I think it's the same for all of...

  7. Residency or on the job training?

    HTCC replied to HTCC's topic in Operating Room

    Thanks for your insight Matt. I do understand that there are steps I need to complete before I get to my ultimate goal. However this will be a second career for me. I know what I want to do, and I'm...

  8. Residency or on the job training?

    HTCC replied to HTCC's topic in Operating Room

    Somehow we got away from my original intended question. I think I included too much additional info as far as my thought process on where I want my career to take me! If I want to learn to scrub and...

  9. Residency or on the job training?

    HTCC replied to HTCC's topic in Operating Room

    Yes, I would have to go to nursing school prior to a residency. I am currently considering my options as far as where I want my career to go next, and so I'm trying to get a better idea of my path if...

  10. Residency or on the job training?

    HTCC replied to HTCC's topic in Operating Room

    I already have a masters in sports medicine, so PA school would be 2 years. But for NP I would have to do both nursing school and NP. Are there very many opportunities for NPs in the OR without having...
