I've been an RN for almost 3 years and I'm currently taking an in-hospital OR course and I love it! You get less patient interraction as they're only awake for a little while, but in that little time you can make a big difference!! Good luck in whatever you decide!! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!!
Hi! Thanks for writing back...I feel the same way as you...it's kind of a nice change not having to deal with bedpans as well as difficult patients/families! I know, it sounds awful, but that's why we picked the OR! I'm enjoying my course, but there's so much to learn that I hope I feel more confident as time goes on. Good luck to you too!!!!
Hi! I'm an RN and I'm in the O.R. course. I need to write a paper on what attracts nurses to OR nursing and what keeps them there...if anyone could give me their experiences and opinions it would be greatly appreciated!
