What do OR nurses do?

[Student_Nurse_WV]

I know that question sounds a little silly, but I am not sure who else to ask. I am beginning nursing school in the fall. This week I was a labor coach for my cousin and she had to be rushed away to have an emergency C-section. I was amazed. I loved being in the room watching this surgery take place. I enjoyed the whole process of the labor, but I got such a rush running through the halls of the maternity floor putting on scrubs then watching the actual surgery. I think that this might be the right choice for me. I was wondering what are some of the roles of the nurse in the OR? I have been looking online for some info and I haven't quite been able to find what I want to know, so I thought I would see if I could get a response on allnurses. Also if you have a website or anything to give me--feel free. Thanks ! I orginally placed this post in the surgical nurses forum, but some of the posters told me to put it in the OR forum.

Thanks again :)
