Why Nursing? (thesis)

Nursing is a profession that will always be in demand. Working in the operating room

enables one to work closely with different departments in the medical field as well as

being a part of a life-saving team. Even though operating room nurses are under the

direct supervision of a doctor, it still gives you the opportunity to utilize your nursing

skills in a fast paced environment.

Being a nurse in the operating room is a privilege and anyone who gets the job should consider themselves lucky, its not an easy position to get. Anyone whom finds their self in that position should grab onto it and not let go. Take that opportunity to learn as much as you can and do the best that you can, who knows, maybe one day you will turn into the Dr. performing the surgery instead of being the nurse assisting the Dr.
