The truth about the transition form OR Tech to OR Nurse

Published

I want to be an OR Nurse. I was told that I could go to school to be an Surg Tech first and then transition to an OR Nurse. Would I be better off becoming an LPN first? I want to get the best education that I can, but I would like to accomplish this goal in the shortest period of time.

I'd suggest to go for the nursing first. In the long run it would give you the greatest number of options. You may not want to stay in the OR forever, and as a nurse you'd be able to relatively easily transition to many other positions.
