   I passed my AORN Periop 101 program final exam about a month and a half ago. Focus on the final exam study guide, re-read your modules and use flashcards. I scored a 90% on mine, it's nowhere near as hard as your NCLEX and it's very straight forward....

    DanielOR_RN replied to qrkid's topic in Operating Room

    Hi qrkid, I was always passionate about going into OR nursing, so I didn't want to waste time doing any med-surg or telemetry. I really think that they have absolutely nothing in common. Since I was so sure about my choice, I started looking for Per...
