Yes I have. I had the opportunity to job shadow and my preceptor for the day was a circulating nurse. I also observed the scrub nurse as well. I had a great experience and I could easily see myself doing it I am just worried because I feel like I can't know if it is my passion until I do it. But I like hearing that you can switch to other areas if I wanted. I have just heard rumors of being pigeonholed in OR.

Hi guys, I recently just got offered two positions at a hospital. The first is the OR and the second is an acute care rotation where I would rotate between medical, surgical, tele etc. units. At first the OR sounded more appealing than being on the floor since I have always been interested in surgery, but I am worried about starting in a specific specialty as a novice nurse. I have done many rotations on medical-surgical units and I really want something more fast paced. However, I am not 100% about OR and am worried that if I do not like it that it will be hard to switch to something else. I do not want to be limited or miss out on the foundation I may need as a new nurse. Any opinions or advice would be very helpful!
