An operating room nurse plays a critical role in ensuring the smooth functioning of surgical procedures. They are responsible for preparing the operating room, sterilizing equipment, and organizing surgical instruments. During surgeries, they assist the surgical team by passing instruments, monitoring the patient's vital signs, and anticipating the surgeon's needs. Preoperative and postoperative care, including patient assessments and education, falls within their purview. Additionally, meticulous documentation of procedures and adherence to infection control protocols are integral aspects of their responsibilities. Operating room nurses contribute significantly to maintaining a sterile and safe environment while prioritizing patient well-being throughout the surgical process.
During my time as a nurse intern, I actively participated in patient care activities under the guidance of experienced nurses. I conducted patient assessments, administered medications, and assisted in various medical procedures. Collaborating with the healthcare team, I contributed to the development and implementation of patient care plans. Accurate and timely documentation of patient information was a crucial aspect of my role. I was committed to continuous learning, attending training sessions, and seeking guidance from mentors to enhance my clinical skills. Additionally, I strived to create a supportive and comforting environment for patients, ensuring their well-being throughout their healthcare journey.
