Operating Room Nurse Day is observed on November 14 of every year. Operating Room Nurses always play a very vital role when the patient’s comfort and life are in another person’s (surgeon) hands. Hence the day honors those nurses, who care for patients before, during, and immediately after surgery.
“Nurse: just another word to describe a person strong enough to tolerate anything and soft enough to understand anyone.”
History of Operating Room Nurse Day
Operating Room Nurse Day was founded by Iowa State Governor Terry Branstad concerning Executive order on November 14, 1989. Nurses in this field provide support and care to patients before, during, and after surgery. They play a vital role in maintaining a sterile atmosphere in the operating room, managing the patient during surgery, and organizing care throughout the process. They also play a significant role in making sure the OR (Operating Room) team provides the patient with the best care. Hence, this day is a perfect day to honor the efforts of Operating Room Nurse.
