I am a charge nurse in a busy 11 theatre suite , primarily based in the Max Fax specialism but also cover most other specialties.
This is a challenging, demanding role and there are days where it feels as though I need to split myself into three.
However, at the end of the day I always feel rewarded.
Theatre nursing is an enigma to most people: patients are brought to the anaesthetic areas and then the door is closed.
This was a question I have been asked several times throughout my career.
Suggestions of ‘you just give the doctor what they need’, ‘you just watch the operation’ are common threads.
A few years ago I wrote a piece to try and offer insight to what we do every day of the year.
As a department we have recently delivered an information session to nursing students in an attempt to increase recruitment to this specialist area.
I used the following as the basis of my talk to give students an understanding of the actuality of the role.
I hope it helps other nurses and those considering this specialism understand what we get up to in theatre!
