Hi, I have been in nursing for the last four years and have only managed to end up in the area of Skilled Nursing and Acute Rehab. I work in a hospital, and have put in for a xfer to OR as Surgery Nurse they will train. Nursing is a second career choice and I am 39 years old and wonder if 10 hour days four days a week is standard. I am to interview with the Director of Surgery tomorrow. I am just so bored with Skilled; I am Chargenurse and have every weekend off but have hardly any variety or new challenges. I wonder if OR nursing is where I should go. I do like my weekends off!!! Would appreciate your input. One thing I am used to is getting to work at 7:45. If I take the OR job I will need to be there no later than 6:45 AM. What do you think and what should I ask the Director and her staff? Thanks DOT
