Operating Room Nurse
The operating room nurse is on the front line of the most complex lifesaving procedures. You will be responsible for planning, directing and coordinating activities of the operating room department. An operating room nurse provides professional nursing care to patients undergoing surgery, prepares and maintains the operating room for all surgical procedures and assembles the type and quantity of materials and special equipment needed for daily procedures and possible emergencies. You will conduct both preoperative and postoperative visits with your patients. You will also coordinate with other hospital units, which may include recovery room, intensive care, obstetrics and nursing units, to ensure your patients' progress.
