Operating room nurses, also known as perioperative nurses, are registered nurses that serve as a support system for surgical patients. OR nursing jobs can be found in hospitals, clinics, day-surgery units, and physician’s offices. In hospitals they can work directly with the patient before, during, or after surgery.

There are several types of operating room nursing jobs. Scrub nurses hold responsibilities such as passing the medical instruments during surgery. There are also circulating nurse positions that involve observing all the OR operations making sure that all procedures of the operation are running smoothly by the surgical team. Other tasks of the operating room nursing position include preparing the room for surgery by auditing the equipment needed and filling out the patients records including the consent forms. With proper education an OR nurse can hold the position of a RN first assistant. This is a more autonomous role for operating room nurse jobs as they perform functions that are similar to a secondary physician.
