The CVOR Registered Nurse (RN) will be responsible for every aspect of the patient’s care during surgery. The day begins with preparing the room for the procedure, bringing the patient into the OR, positioning the patient, maintaining the charting and caring for the patient during the intra-operative phase. The nurse will act as the liaison between the family and the surgeon beginning with the call to let the family know that the first incision has been made. The nurse will continue to contact the family every couple hours to provide updates. During the surgery, the nurse is responsible for updating charting/paperwork, getting supplies if needed and administering meds to the sterile field. This process may be repeated for 1-5 surgeries a day depending on length of each surgery. The nurse works in an extremely team focused environment with your core team, scrub personnel, CRNA, Anesthesiologist and surgeon. The department is fast paced and technologically driven.
