Nursing Or Operations Department Practitioner?

I want to be a surgical/theatre nurse or an opertations department practitioner. I don't know what to do! Are they practically the same thing? How difficult is it o become a theatre nurse/odp? Please, someone, help!

If you're certain that you want a career in theatres and that you will never want to work in another clinical area (although theatres is pretty varied) then training for ODPs is more geared for that. Nurse training is more general.

Both courses are hard work but worth it.
