I’m currently 1st year student nurse, finishing my first year in September, so finishing in 2/3 months.
I really liked the idea of doing theatre nursing and that’s what I want to do when I qualify. I did adult nursing though as it opens a lot of doors.
But I’m finding it hard on this course as most of the placements are ward/community based and I really don’t like wards. They aren’t for me. The idea of a&e doesn’t feel like me at all. And having to go through that for 2 years terrifies me, so I’m thinking about switching from nursing to the ODP course.
Does theatre nursing and ODP roles differ much at all?
