Can I become a surgical technologist before I become a Registered Nurse?
Asked by Constantly Curious
I figure that it will take me about a year to get all of my prerequesites in order, and then I can become a registered nurse. I've also heard that it would be good experience, especially since I want to work in either the OR or ER.
oh, and In my state, there arent many jobs for a certified surgical assistant ( an advanced surg tech). Do most people just become promoted into this position?

Best Answer:
Yes you can become a surg tech while waiting to get into nursing school. A lot of people are competing for surg assist type positions (RNs PAs, SAs etc) so that could be why you do not see many postings. If you want to be an OR RN that would be quite helpful.
