Time for a change

Published

I've been a nurse for 30 years.  For the last 23 years I've been in the OR.  It was a dream of mine when I was in nursing school.  I have loved it all these years until recently.  The environment has become so toxic. I think it's time to move on, but I don't know where I could possibly go from here.  I definitely don't want to do floor nursing.  Has anyone left the OR for another specialty?  Is the change difficult? I'll take any advice!  Thanks!

Hello perhaps you should look at other ambulatory facilities or hospitals. Or are you also just tired of what you're doing? Endoscopy? I am a Mother Baby Nurse and was thinking about the OR but I don't want to deal with nasty doctors even though thank God the doctors I come across have been very nice to me. It's coming up to a year did you find your new position?
