Transition to OR or Psych Nursing

Published

Hello,

I'm currently an RN with <1 year experience. I'm really interested in working in the OR or psych. I'd like to apply for positions within the hospital I already work at. I was looking into certifications, but some require at least 2 years of work experience. Are there any certifications or classes I can take now to make my application stand out to transition into my dream role?

Specializes in Psychiatric RN.

Not classes but I suggest working per diem at outpatient facilities to get some experience. 

You can also look at CEUs on de-escalation, mood disorders. 

Good luck!
