Hello, My Name is Jason Mitchell, and I just got accepted to Brookline College's BSN Accelerated Program that starts in May, 2015. I'm from California and am looking to connect with future classmates and also wondering if anyone is doing anything spe...

I had a question. My employer at an outpatient surgery center discovered an employee that had covid. There was not contact tracing involved after she was sent home (she's been sick and out for 2 weeks now). I have inquired and management says they ca...

I'm finding it difficult to find hospitals that would be willing to hire new graduate nurses into the OR, so I need some advice. Would becoming an endoscopy nurse instead help my chances of getting into the OR in the future and count as sufficient ex...

Hey everyone! I'm a new grad looking to get into the OR right away and was wondering if you had any tips. I understand it is difficult as a new grad to get into this speciality right off the bat, but I know it's my true passion and will do anything t...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one haha. I'm going to try to get into residencies for OR nursing, but I've heard they are very competitive so I'm wondering if there's anything else. Do you know of anything?

I appreciate the response. I agree that residencies would provide the best learning and training experience, so I will continue looking for those. I'm going to try and get into a residency, but am also looking at new grad positions in the OR that off...

Hey everyone, I'm a current nursing student set to graduate in 7 months. I want to enter the OR right away as a new grad and am looking for anything that can boost my resume/get me more qualified and educated to be an OR nurse. I plan on taking a per...

Hey everyone. I hate that I am posting this, but I am in an accelerated 15 month BSN program and just started my second block. I have pharmacology 1, adult health 1, psych, OB, and evidence based practice. My pharm teacher accepted a new job so we ar...

We got our first assignment a week ago and were on our 3rd week of class out of a 14 week semester. I'll check the policy and see if it's even a possibility because I'm already 2 weeks behind..

I am about to graduate from nursing school and my ideal field of work is in the OR. I do realize experience and extra training is preferred in order to do this. However, I would ideally want to skip the "2-3 years of experience" in med-surg and would...

Hey Sandra, thanks for the information! Would you mind telling me what facility hires these RN's without experience? I'm just trying to find out more information about possible programs I can look in to.

Hey thanks for the information. If you don't mind me asking; what hospital/facility hired you? I won't necessarily apply to the same place, but I just want to find more information on what facilities have to offer in general regarding OR programs. Al...

Thanks for the information! In my current situation I would gladly take a decreased paycheck/sign a contract if it means I am able to get into an OR program right away. I joined AORN a few days ago and am started to inquire about my current goals/att...

Thanks for the information. I too will be graduating from nursing school with a BSN. I would absolutely love to get a preceptorship or externship or into a program that will train me as a new grad to be in the OR. My question is: How difficult is it ...
