I am an OR nurse in Ontario. As far as I know, it is either you have to have previous experience in the OR or taken the Periop course. Never heard of 'on the job' training around here. I def recommend to take the Periop course, there is a lot to learn about being in the OR and I found the course very helpful in preparing me for the workplace. I can't even imagine going into the OR and not even knowing what the instruments are called or sterile technique in donning/doffing. The Periop course will give you the fundamental knowledge.

If you have a job offer where an employer is willing to apply for a Temp License, why not just do NCLEX a bit later? If you attempt & fail nclex, CNO won't grant you the temp license

Currently working as an HFO (RN). I got the job before I wrote the NCLEX, but didn't start UNTIL i got my license. I didnt consolidate there either, but i previously worked on that particular unit doing psw work.
