I'm not sure what a CNOR is or does, but I'm thinking it's a scrub nurse or perioperative nurse. So my questions are as follow: *1: Can I be eligible to sit for the CNOR exam with an associates degree in nursing and a certificate in surgical technology? *2: In the present time is it absolutely necessary to have a BSN prior to becoming a CRNFA? Wil an ASN just not doi? If not, why? *3: What other jobs are there in the operating room for specialized RNs other than CRNFA, scrub nurse, perioperative nurse, and circulating nurse?
