Hello! I started out my nursing career in the OR. I absolutely loved my OR internship as a student nurse. When I took my first job as a nurse it was in the OR, however my experience at this new hospital was very unsupportive of new nurses learning and I ended up leaving after 6 months. Since then I have worked on a kidney/ liver transplant floor and a cardiac step-down floor, however I miss my OR days. Of course starting my career as a nurse at the beginning of the pandemic did not help things. I want to apply to an OR job but am wondering how that would look after I left and such a long time away from the OR. Any tips on how to spin this in a good way on my resume and in an interview? Thanks so much!!
