The Giggling Nurse

What is so secret that it has to be kept behind a series of locked doors? This question fascinated me as a teen, and became a part of my everyday adult life, as an OR Nurse. This is the first in a series of books all about how to become the best OR Nurse you can be. To understand what an OR Nurse does, you first have to understand 'The Who' and 'The What' is inside the OR suite; what they do, how surgeries and the Nursing profession have changed over time, the operating room layout, the furniture, the machines, the instruments, and the supplies needed to get the job done. The OR Nurse is in charge of the OR suite, including everyone and everything in it. Whether you are looking at starting nursing school, have been an OR Nurse for decades, are an Educator, or are an OR Manager that runs an OR, you will find useful information in this book series!
