Best steps to OR might be going to the ICU first. If you are a quick study and pay attention to details, you might be able to handle ICU. It's going to be hard at first and there is alot to remember. I work in OR now as a Circulator. I do not scrub nor do I want to. I also continue to work in ICU, because I don't want to lose the valuable skills it took years to develop. I like to work in both places. I find that being a Critical Care nurse is very valuable knowledge in the OR and the surgeons like having a nurse with that kind of expertise in their surgery suites with them.
good luck!
