Hello,

I am a first year student for practical nursing program in Canada. I am really interested in OR. I was wondering what is the usual role for RPN's in OR? What do you dislike/like? Can new grads expect a hire directly from graduating or is experience required?

I am really regretting taking RPN instead RN. I am searching OR positions for RPN in various hospital in my free time but I see that there are more opportunities and job opennings for RN in OR position than RPN.

Thank you!
