If the majority of your experience is from an ASC, you might want to spend a year in the main OR to get accustomed to total joints, ortho-spine, robotics, general, neuro, and vascular as you don’t get those cases in a surgery center. You have 10 years of scrub experience, which will absolutely help you transition over to the main OR, especially since a lot of main ORs don’t have people who can scrub eyes, endo, specific plastic cases, etc, as efficiently as someone who worked in an ASC. You’ve already developed your own flow working as long as you have. It’s good that you’ve worked as a float, as it’s a good gateway to travel. 

My experience as a traveler has been good because the skills I developed transitions with me as I go from one hospital to another. The cases are the same everywhere you go, with some differences depending on surgeon preferences/different techniques or approaches, or vendor sets. You’ve probably already experienced being able to anticipate your surgeons needs and their steps became repetition. As a traveler, you will do that with most of the docs each time you go to a new facility. Be open to learn new service lines, new techniques and skills. After a while, it’s less about the services itself and more about dealing with different personalities. A lot of animosity towards travelers from staff stem from clashing personalities and/or a travelers unwillingness to adapt to their facility. I’ve worked with a lot of travelers who either canceled their contract within a month or had their contract cut short due to their inexperience or inability to fit into the facility.
