Attention to detail, teamwork, and the ability to remain calm under pressure are standout soft skills in this role. These competencies are vital to ensure patient safety, efficient surgical procedures, and effective collaboration with the surgical team.

What are Operating Room Nurse RNs?

Operating Room Nurse RNs, also known as perioperative nurses or scrub nurses, are registered nurses who specialize in caring for patients before, during, and after surgical procedures. They assist surgeons by preparing the operating room, sterilizing equipment, and monitoring patients' vital signs throughout surgery. Their role is essential to ensuring patient safety, preventing infection, and supporting the surgical team for successful operations.
