Scott’s Answer

Hi Addryan,
I've enjoyed being an RN. My background started in the military as a hospital corpsman (medic) and I was trained to work in the OR as a scrub tech and surgical assistant. This prepared me for a career when I left the military after 4 years active duty and 2 years of reserve service. I went to nursing school shortly after getting out through a local ADN program and continued to work in the operating room after I finished and received my license. It really opened my eyes to all the different types of nursing jobs there are, from a patient caregiver on the floor to a flight nurse on a rescue unit, nurse anesthetist as well as nurse practitioners. My specialty was ENT and neurosurgery, which was extremely challenging, but I loved every minute of it. By learning some of the specialties technologies (e.g. surgical navigation) it exposed me to the medical device world, which is where I've been working for the last 21 years! I highly encourage you to seek out an opportunity in nursing and work hard at it.
