Why OR Nurses?
Operating room nurses are essential for invasive procedures and helping surgeons. They work directly with CRNAs, PACU RNs, and Med-Surg RNs (and of course, surgeons) to coordinate plans of pre and post-surgical care, chart adverse reactions to treatment and medication, and provide patient education when needed.
The number of invasive procedures has surged in the UK. In 2023 alone, 2.4 million major surgical procedures are undertaken by the National Health Service (NHS) annually, according to ResearchGate.
OR nurses need the ability to communicate well with surgeons, anaesthetists, CRNAs, family, friends, and other healthcare workers. They should also be able to think critically and quickly on their feet, have an extensive knowledge of hygiene and best surgical practice, and have high levels of empathy.
