Skill: General Surgery (United States)

NO job is secure. Nurses are very loyal to much of our own expense. OR Nursing is very physical and labor intensive. If you can not keep up you will be replaced by less experienced people who will take less pay. The bottom line for employers is time and money saved. I recomend that a new OR nurse stay in hospital training for 2 years then do Travel Nursing jobs. Save your money and plan for retirement debt free. I also recomend that a new Nurse consider the military (Air Force) do 20 years and retire. Never forget to enjoy life, so many of us work so hard that when we "wake up" we find that our bodies will not allow us to do some of the things we want to do or go to some of the places we want to go to...... Bottom line the job will be there when you are dead and gone and after you leave your employer you will probably be forgotton in 1-2 years......
