I will graduate in December and have applied for an OR position in a small community hospital. I am told that they do occasionally hire graduate nurses and they are listed on AORN's website as having the periop 101 training through AORN. I wonder if any of you can suggest some inquiries to make in an interview regarding the training. One concern I had is that I was told you start off in the OR central supply area learning the sterilization process and (I am assuming) tray/kit setups. I have no problems with this, but I sure don't want to be in CS for months! What is an accepted time frame for basic training and what kind of "training rotations" should I expect? I know you all work in many different types of hospitals, but there must be some standards I should expect and be able to inquire about. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
