Be the calm in the operating room
Perioperative nurses assist surgeons before, during, and after operations. They prepare instruments, monitor patients under anesthesia, and ensure sterile environments.
You scrub in at 7 AM for a hip replacement, hand instruments to the surgeon with precision, monitor vitals, then prep the OR for an emergency appendectomy. Focus and teamwork define your day.
