surgery and nurses

is there any chance that i will ever get chance in future to do surgery.... i mean is there any post graduational courses for nurses which alows them for this kind of practiceeee....from : just curious BSN student (second year)
Look into learning about being an RNFA (RN first assistant). Also, many ANPs are licensed to do minor surg procedures (suturing, wound debridement, casting, chiefly, at the moment) and this scope is expected to expand.

Usually you have to be a doctor to do surgery.

"Usually" physicians are the ones doing most surgery. But not always, and not all, and besides... What do they call a registered nurse with a doctorate? Same as they call my non-nurse, non-physician offspring with a PhD in physics: Dr.

Some PA's and NP's (depending where you live) assist in surgery but I do not think any can perform surgery.

I'm a FNP, I first assist the surgeons at my hospital in various general and orthopedic cases. This means I sew and place ports during laparoscopic cases for example. The other time I'm following pre or post op surgical patients on our inpatient units. I'm my state an RN needs to be an RNFA to assist. So yes, to answer your question, you can operate. If suggest you try to get an RN job in the OR to learn sterile technique and become familiar with the procedures and instruments.

Physician. Not doctor.

Interesting topic. I don't know, but I bet only minor stuff like freezing a plantar wart.

All, your state has a nurse practice advisory panel, or something like that, to advise the BoN on current practices in nursing and rewrite policy guidelines prn. You can go online and find out. While your opinion might be that an advanced practice nurse may be limited to "minor stuff like freezing a plantar wart," there's nothing like actual facts.
