I recently finished school and passed my nclex. I am starting my first job next week as an OR Nurse. Problem is, I only had ONE day in school learning the role of an OR nurse so I am feeling a little inadequate. I am not really sure what tasks I am going to need to perform, what nursing skills I will be using most often, and what a typical day is like for an OR nurse. If there is anyone out there who can help me answer these questions I will be forever grateful. I am starting to freak out! Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read and respond to this. Take Care and Happy New Year!
