Job Summary:
The Operating Room RN is responsible for managing all nursing care within the operating room, observing the surgical team from a broad perspective, and assisting the team to create and maintain a safe, comfortable environment for the patient’s surgery. The circulating nurse ensures that all members of the surgical team perform in a united effort. During surgery, most patients are anesthetized or sedated and are powerless to make decisions on their own behalf. By employing critical thinking, assessment, diagnosing, outcome identification, planning, and evaluation skills, RN circulators direct the nursing care and coordinate activities of the surgical team for the benefit of the patient, whose protective reflexes or self-care abilities are compromised by the procedure. These critical nursing functions of the RN circulator are not delegable in the operating room.

• The RN’s knowledge, observation, and assessment skills, combined with the ability to anticipate needs, are invaluable to the successful performance of the operating room and are crucial components of the coordinated decision-making process that defends the patient’s well-being throughout the procedure
• The RN exhibits accuracy in recording, interpreting, and responding to a continuous stream of data and serves as the guardian of the patient’s well-being by utilizing critical thinking skills
• Performs a surgical site identification and surgical time-out on every patient
• Prepares, administers, and records prescribed medications
