Hilarity Nursing

Top 10 “must do’s” for O.R. Nurses

1. Ensure your safety, wear a helmet.
2. Do not be intimidated by the physician (you can do better).
3. Make the operating room colorful as you can so that the patient will be amazed with all the colors and everything that she won’t be able to fall asleep and that would make it easier for you to know if the patient is still alive.
4. Pretend to be fainting when you suddenly want to pee or if you’re hungry.
5. Sing in the middle of the operation so that the other medical personnel will not be bored.
6. Before scrubbing, paste a chart with the different major and minor sets within your view to show the surgeon you know all the instruments.
7. Pretend to play with your mask when your nose is itching.
8. Maintain sterility always… never touch anything. Let the surgeon do the operation alone.
9. In case you fall in love with the patient, pretend to be charting the data out but actually copying them.
10. Wear scrub suit a.k.a. PJ’s and clean slippers and sleep during night shift.
