As an operating room nurse, you have to provide specialized nursing services to critically ill and the mentally disturbed patients and promote physical and mental health within the medical treatment facility. The Operating Room nurse is basically responsible for assisting the doctors in preparing patients and in the operating rooms for surgery. It calls for preparation and maintaining of sterile medical supplies and helping with preoperative and postoperative procedures. You need to be prepared to treat emergency cases without getting perturbed and with a lot of patience. The patient's medical history needs to be examined along with his records while conducting basic duties like taking temperature, pulse and blood pressure.
There are plenty of options also available in the operating nurse career such circulating nurse in the operating room and anesthesia care nursing. Nurses who provide anesthesia have to have least two years of critical care experience and should have completed the course from a nurse anesthesia school for training. Circulating nurses are responsible for everyone in the operating room on any particular day. They are responsible as patient spokesman ensuring that the patient being operated on is the correct patient and
that the doctor is performing the correct procedure.
Nurses have many career opportunities available to them when they complete an AOC qualifying course in operating room nursing or one year of supervised training in operating room nursing. The patients undergoing surgery come completely under the care of the nurses attending the operating theater. Their duties start with preparing and ensuring that the operating theater is ready for the operating procedures and seeing to it that all the equipments and special procedures that are to be done before any operation are all taken care off. Regular procedures and emergencies, if any. They a
re also responsible for all the equipments while the operation is under progress and they need to ensure all the necessary tools are kept ready depending on the operation that is to take place.
The OR Nurse also manages operating room activities like taking control of OR personnel and making sure they have completed their routine checks and given responsibilities, which could be anything from ensuring the equipments, are sterilized to keeping records and relevant documents updated. Other responsibilities include maintaining correct and complete records and reports, and helping with ongoing, in house training programs by continually updating already advanced knowledge and responsibilities of nursing personnel.
Operating room nurses, are also referred to as preoperative nurses, are
usually qualified and registered nurses who work in co ordination with patients who are to be operated upon. In today's world, nursing jobs are in demand in hospitals, different types of clinics and surgical units that operate during the day. In hospitals, their work is to interact directly with patients before the operation during the operation and post the operation.
Plenty of nursing jobs are available in the world today. Scrub nurses duty is to hand the medical instruments to the operating doctor during surgery while the circulating nurse observes checks and monitors all the equipments during the operation and ensures that they run smoothly. The nurses whose duty is in the operating theater are responsible to ensure that the operating room is ready in all respects for the operating procedure. This would mean making sure, all the equipments are properly audited and the patient's record is recorded in detail. The consent form
is to be filled by the concerned family before the operation begins.
The operating room nurses position in the operating theater is very crucial as the entire operating procedure depends on her efficiency and job knowledge as they almost operate as secondary physicians in all respects. Infact half the job like suturing the patients after the surgery and controlling the bleeding is an important part of a operating nurses job. These nurses play the role of mediators and need to keep the patients informed about the upcoming surgery and give them post surgical advice as well. Assisting them and changing the dressing when necessary. The Operating Room Nurse works under the direction of the Manager while carrying out nursing responsibilities and duties.

Being a operating room nurse, our duties and responsibilities: Prepares and maintains operating room for all surgical procedures. Establishes and utilizes a checklist to monitor the physical plan of the operating room and equipment for conformity to all national standards for ensuring safety for the patient and all personnel. Assembles the type and quantity of material and special equipment needed for daily procedures and possible emergencies. Circulates and scrubs for surgical procedures.

Consults with the operating surgeon and establishes priorities of care for each patient entering the operating suite. Coordinates with other hospital units, which include recovery room, intensive care, obstetrics, and nursing units, on patients’ progress and any special equipment or supplies that will be needed for the patient returning from surgery.

The RN specializing in Perioperative Nursing practice performs nursing activities in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of the patients' surgical experience. Registered nurses enter perioperative nursing practice at a beginning level depending on their expertise and competency to practice. As they gain knowledge and skill, they progress on a continuum to an advanced level of practice.
ReplyDeleteas what I've researched earlier, based on the Standards and Recommended Practices for Perioperative Nursing--A.O.R.N., the operating room nurse provides a continuity of care throughout the perioperative period, using scientific and behavioral practices with the eventual goal of meeting the individual needs of the patient undergoing surgical intervention. This process is dynamic and continuous, and requires constant reevaluation of individual nursing practice in the operating room.
Operating room nurse-A fulfilling Career Path
ReplyDeleteBeing an operating room nurse is actually a challenging and self-fulfilling career.A career that is totally distinctive from others.
During my first exposure to this area,i was confused and a little bit frightened of the setting and actual surgical procedures i witnessed.But since it was really my dream to be oriented in that area, i reached to a point of desensitizing and reinforcing myself just to commend my dream. And I hope it could be actuated someday.
I would be self-fulfilled when i chose to cling on this career.
Operating room nurse-a fulfilling career path; I agree with this statement, because being a OR nurse is a unique one as what i stated before. as what i read with the article it is stated that being a OR nurse is very crucial one,because the OR nurse is the one assessing the surgeon. Or nurse is the one who take in-charge of all the needed instrument when performing the surgery, and he/she's the one insuring all the instrument if it is complete when the surgery is done.
ReplyDeleteI greatly aspire to be a nurse someday, especially to be an OR nurse. being a OR nurse is a wonderful one not just a wonderful but a great role to handle. I will study hard to be graduate with the profession i choose, and grab my own license someday. To be one of the nurses in the near future, and be an OR nurse.

Operating room nurse-A fulfilling Career Path
ReplyDeleteBeing an operating room nurse is not all about wearing scrubs and gloves. Handling a life is not easy as counting sheep. In every move that they do the patients life is at stake. In order to be a good operating room nurse, one, is that they must possess a good ethics within them. Operating room nurses must stand as an angel from the beginning and throughout the operation to their patient.
As I see the operating team in their scrubs and doing stuffs in order to save the patient I can see "saviors". They are doing whatever they can to save peoples lives. When I become an RN someday , hopefully, I chose to be in this team because entrusted with the patient life is a great privilege especially when you have done the operation together with the operating teams successfully.

Operating Room is the most challenging area of the hospital for me. This is the area where the health care team saves life of the patient.
ReplyDeleteMy first exposure at the Operating room was last August 2009 and i was quite anxious and nervous since i don't like seeing blood and internal organs of the human. I had my first major case which is appendectomy and after that I slowly overcome my fear. I tell to myself that it's not that scary after all.
I am so amazed of the jobs of the doctors and nurses at the OR since they saves life of the patient. They should be call "Heroes or "Saviors".
As a student I make sure that I can maintain the sterility of the environment and I memorized the procedures so the next time I will handle another major case, i wont give hassles to the doctors and nurses @ the operating room.
It's fulfilling and heartwarming to think that you save other people's life so when I became a registered nurse someday, I would love to be an Operating Room nurse.

ReplyDeleteOperating room for me is the top most important and challenging area in the hospital where patient's life is being saved. Surgical team are the "heroes" of all generation, since they are saving the life of an ill patient eversince. An O.R. nurse is one of them, and it's the exciting yet, fearful position that a nurse would choose to be.
ReplyDeleteBeing an O.R. nurse is not easy. You must know everything since you have a lot of task to perform, like maintaining a sterile area and equipment, as well as to provide patient's comfort, and more.
It's not as easy as what others think it is, especially when you're a first timer that you almost tremble thinking of what you gonna do, and what will gonna happen while the surgery is on going. That happened to me in my first exposure in O.R. way back in third year. Though I felt nervous, it was also exciting! I was amazed that I saw internal organs of human being like me, and I can imagine my own organs like the one I saw with my two eyes.
Yes, it's true that being an Operating Room nurse is indeed a "fulfilling" career. And if I'm already a registered nurse someday, it's my pleasure to be part of the O.R. family.

ReplyDeleteWe all know that all professions are not easy , and you may consider the operating room nurse as one of the heavy professions. Operating room nurse is not just a profession where in you are wearing a white uniform and having a pin which proves that you are an operating room nurse. As an operating nurse, you have to expect the unexpected moments because not for all the times that all the procedures would be successfully done. This is the area where in you are caring the critically ill patients and helping them to survive between life and death. That's why, as an operating room nurse, you should have the 3 aspects; the knowledge, skills, and attitude. These 3 aspects would lead you to be a role model as an operating nurse. Wanna know why? Okay. Try to think of this. Everybody knows that you're the most clever person inside the operating room, but the problem is, you're poor in performing the procedure or tasks of an operating room nurse so, how could you manage well the situation inside the operating room if you have no enough skills on that, right? Once you have lack even just one of these three aspects, you can't be able to pursue your profession as an operating room nurse.
Remember that the operating room is the area for the critical cases. All the nurses in these area focuses on the life of the patient. Just made a one mistake, you are putting the life of the patient in danger.
That's why, I am encouraging you to read this article. I assure you, you will learn more information about the part of the operating room nurses.

By looking these roles, to be an O.R. nurse as part of the health care team is really a fulfilling career path that should not be taken for granted. That is why, I challenge myself to study hard and to be versatile and lenient since it is my dream to become an O.R. nurse someday. Being an O.R. nurse must possess the three important factors: knowledgeable, skillful, and most importantly the good attitude towards patient since they are mainly the reason why we commit to the calling of this noble profession.

. I’m just a beginner in the operating room but I’m happy during my first exposure. When I had my first case, I just realized that it’s so wonderful and awesome when your there assessing the physician.
This article gives me some information needed to become an operating nurse soon and gives some hints some information I don’t know during preoperative, intraoperative,
and postoperative. I learned some things I don’t know and as I read this article, I’ve been thinking on how important an operating nurse is during operation.
As an operating nurse, he/she able to know the duties and responsibilities to the patient and specially to the physician.

As foresight,an operating room nurse' career path to be fulfilling, I guess, has to come from the sense of being able to serve an important role in making the operating room a safe environment in every procedure performed, for not does the patient's wellbeing rest on the hands of the surgeon, but so does the need for a competent operating room nurse.
I do admit that i'm still a neophyte in terms of surgical procedures done in the operating room and we student nurses can't avoid to become nervous especially if it is our first time.
ReplyDeleteAs i had my first exposure in the operating room I could definitely say that it is an amazing experience for I had realized that being an operating nurse should be quick and responsive enough upon assisting the physician.
This article provides adequate information's regarding what should an operating nurse done during preoperative, intraoperative,
and postoperative care. It is a fact that being an OR nurse requires an amazing skills in order to perform a systematic way of assistance.
After I read this article I was enlightened and it made me more eager to learn, it gave me informations as well as it signifies the importance of the responsibilities of an operating nurse.
The role of an operating nurse was never an easy task because it deals with the life of the patient. You should do it with everything you've got in order to attain a successful operation.

I agree that being an operating room nurse is a fulfilling career but it requires you to be responsible enough and must have adequate knowledge for any OR procedures.As an OR nurse you must coordinate with the other surgical members like the surgeon and anesthesiologist to have a successful outcomes of the operations.And an OR nurse especially the scrub nurse must perform sterile technique while in an operation to avoid the risk of infection.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore,an OR nurse has plenty of jobs to be done aside from assisting, documentation must be perform before and after the operation.Because of that,we should love what you do for us to achieve fulfillment in life.

Being a operating room nurse is one tough job. Many nurses have many choices and many opportunities, but being a operating room nurse must be taking care of seriously and do not take it for granted since you have to be skillful and responsible enough to handle being OR nurse. If you make one mistake, it will greatly affect the people who are involved,like the patient, if you did not know if he/she have inform consent and did not know what procedure should be performed, then it will have a great risk and have more problem if that would happened. Another example that would affect the person involve is the surgeon, if you did not clarify the certain procedure and just leave it, the surgeon will think that the procedure that is being advised is correct since they thought that you have already clarified it. There are so much things a OR nurse can do.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to ask, being an OR nurse is great but I myself is not good enough to be an OR nurse since I still lack experience and need to improve myself. I know that there is a lot to do if I were going to be an OR nurse so there is so much to learn to be able to achieve this if being an or nurse is my choice of career.

Being an OR nurse is a big responsibility, you have to be competent enough to do all the necessary procedures with skills and knowledge.The main responsibility of a scrub nurse is to maintain the sterility of the field and to assist the needs of the physician.The circulating nurse must monitor the vital signs of the patient.
ReplyDeleteAn OR nurse must be oriented and knows his/her responsibility and must have presence of mind because during operation patient's life is at stake and in the hands of the medical team lies the future of each patients.So I think that every student nurses must improve there skills and knowledge and love nursing.

And the most important is the attitude, we must know how to talk to our patient to get an accurate data from them, we are their voice and their bridge toward the other health providers like the doctors.

being an OR nurse is a critical and challenging career.the operating room nurse provides a continuity of care throughout the operation period, using scientific and behavioral practices with the eventual goal of meeting the individual needs of the patient undergoing surgical intervention. This process is dynamic and continuous, and requires constant reevaluation of individual nursing practice in the operating room. Operating Room Nurses assess, diagnose, plan, intervene, and evaluate their patients just like every other nurse.Whether scrubbing, circulating, or supervising other team members, the OR nurse is always aware of the total environment, as well as the patient's reaction to the environment and the care given during all three phases of surgical intervention. The OR nurse is knowledgeable about aseptic technique, patient safety, legal aspects of nursing, and management of nursing activities associated with the specific surgical procedure being performed.
ReplyDeleteOR nursing is unique: it provides a specialty service during the perioperative period that stresses the need for continuity of care and respect for the individuality of the patient's needs.
OR nurse is really a profession by heart.

ReplyDeleteCare provider, Manager, Educator. Name it! This are just few of the roles an OR nurse play. They directly give their patients the care needed for optimum health recovery who says managers are only those working in the bank? We also have Nurse Managers in OR. And if the people think that Teachers are the only Educators, they should think twice!
ReplyDeleteNow, I could justify why a lot of students would like to take up nursing. Its not just about having plenty of options in ones career but its a course that needs not only knowledge and skills but more importantly is the attitude. You can't be a good nurse or perform your duty well if you don't have the eagerness to have those who are weak, because the responsibility of an OR nurse does not end after the patient goes out in the four corners of the operating room. As the saying goes," its not yet over when its over".

OR nurse is one of the sterile team who could help and give the doctors needs during operation. And they should be more responsible in observing sterility. As we all knew OR nurses are more likely to have an option in having a successive career but then, its not more about having a big salary but with skillful, knowledgeable and more importantly having a good attitude.
ReplyDeleteAs a student nurse we can be like them someday but not only by saying but in hand,mind,and more importantly by heartily work. In Operating Room the lives of every patient are in the hand of sterile team. OR nurses are one of them who could be more concerned. And all this we can do by faith also in god.

Being an Operating Nurse is truly a fulfilling career path. In my 18 years of existence, i had experienced having a duty on the operating room for 3 weeks (9 days). I admit I am just a beginner in this field yet, i have observed the things/routine did by the professional Operating Nurse. And it is indeed uneasy and never will be that easy for the expectations of other people.

Career opportunities in nursing have greatly expanded, but have you ever ask yourself about how fulfilling career an operating room nurse could be?
ReplyDeleteI may say that their works were just limited at four corners, their concern was just sterility, and their major role is just to assist the doctor during operations. But after having read the article the path of operating room nurse is not definite, since they were dealing lives. Aside from it there are other roles that operating room nurses undertake which are beyond from my mind, this are anesthesia care nursing, serve as patient spokesman ensuring that the patient being operated on is the correct patient and that the doctor is performing the correct procedure, manages operating room activities like taking control of OR personnel and making sure they have completed their routine checks and given responsibilities.
Can you now visualized how fulfilling being an operating room nurse is?, Thanks to our C.I. who encouraged us to become an operating room nurse someday,…;D

As a nurse, operating room, you need to make quality care for the seriously ill and patients with mental disorders and promote physical and mental health in the medical treatment facility. The surgical nurse is primarily responsible for the support of the doctors in preparing patients and operating rooms for surgery. It calls for the preparation and maintenance of sterile medical supplies and support in pre-and postoperative procedures. You must be willing to emergencies without being disturbed and treated with great patience.

ReplyDeleteMaintaining sterility, documentation and preparing of materials are some of the OR nurse responsibilities but behind this is a deeper sense of responsibility towards the patient for a life of an individual is in the hands of the medical team.
