Surgical Instruments

Published

I just started working in the OR, and love it! I would like to start memorizing the surgical instruments, how to handle them, and prepare them for surgery. I know there are a bazillion instruments. However, I would still like to try and exceed the expectations of my job as a scrub nurse and as a circulator nurse. Experienced OR Nurses, what advice can you provide to help me succeed? If anyone knows of any great websites please share! Thank you!:inlove:

I have been working in the OR for 6 weeks now (wooh, plus an internship I completed in the unit to complete my BSN). Part of my orientation process included a week solid working in SPD putting together all the instruments for cases, helped me greatly. Starting in spine next week through my rotation, wish me luck!
