About Candidate

I am an Operating Room (OR) nurse specializing in perioperative care, where I assist in providing safe and efficient nursing support to patients undergoing surgical procedures. My role includes preparing the operating room and ensuring all instruments and supplies are complete, sterile, and ready for use, as well as maintaining strict aseptic technique throughout every procedure. I work closely with surgeons, anesthesiologists, and the rest of the surgical team as either a scrub or circulating nurse, anticipating needs during surgery and helping ensure smooth workflow. I also prioritize patient safety, infection prevention, and advocacy, making sure that every patient receives high-quality, compassionate care throughout the perioperative period.
