I started scrubbing and I love it so far. It’s mostly been shadowing a surgical tech and doing things here and there but I like it a lot. I also got to assist today and it was pretty cool.
I have a question it would be great if you could help me , Can both surgical techs and RNs assist surgeons in surgery? So What is the difference? If RNs want to become scrub , Do they need to certification or sth?
Hi! So to answer your question, both jobs do assist surgeons during surgery. If you become an OR nurse you do not need a certificate to scrub, this will be part of your training. Circulators can circulate and scrub. Scrub techs are only allowed to scrub. Major difference is compensation and education.
@BritneyA- Hey girl! I got very lucky, I got into the OR as a new grad. I applied to a BUNCH of hospital OR's and the one I ended up getting was in a rough neighborhood but I ended up accepting because I really wanted the OR! Now 3 years later I'm still happy in the OR! I know when I was a new grad people told me to start in med surg but that was never something I wanted to do, and overall I'm glad I went straight to the OR! Couldn't imagine working as a floor nurse after being in the OR for so long!
@@CaitHawkins girl SAME I am not even in clinicals yet and I KNOW I do not want to work as a regular floor nurse, NO THANK YOU. I have listened to 1,000 “why I left the bedside” videos and having worked as a CNA, I have seen those nurses running around like chickens w their head cut off. I also plan to hold out until I get what I want. No need to work right away
great work ! best of luck in your journey with aesthetics !
Thank you so much!! After FNP school I will 100% apply for aesthetic NP jobs!
Loved this video!

I have been interning in the periop department and I love seeing your videos talking about the OR and nursing in general 🤍
Would you recommend OR nursing as a new grad? I have really enjoyed the OR the most next to PACU

Can you explain how you got into the OR speciality and is it recommended for new grads to apply?
