Hey all, I am a student nurse interested in a future career in OR nursing upon graduation. I have had a lot of experience in the operating room but have only worked with adult patients. I am curious on others' experiences in the pediatric setting and how considerations differ when working with them compared to adults in the surgical specialty. Thanks in advance!!

The hospital in which I am doing my periop clinical at has their main ORs in the basement; the ASC is on the third or fourth floor I believe. I shadowed a CRNA at another hospital and we were a few floors up!

Hi everyone - I am a junior nursing student who was just accepted into a competitive, limited-seat perioperative clinical course for the month of January. I was assigned to work with a preceptor for the evening shift in the main OR of the hospital. I'm wondering what to expect during the evening shift as I have only ever experienced a day shift with a CRNA. Thanks in advance!

Hey all, I am just finishing up my clinicals for my CNA class at a local nursing home. I have determined that LTC is not really the place I want to work in. I would much rather work in a hospital/pediatric hospital setting. I start college this fall, so getting a job this summer does not seem promising, and I understand that most places will not hire for summer jobs only. I was thinking to look for a CNA job that is PRN at a local hospital, but would that be hard with no other experience as a CNA? I am just kind of lost right now and could use some advice on job options that would fit me. Thank you!
