Scrub nurse

A scrub nurse is a specialized nurse who assists during surgeries by preparing and managing sterile surgical tools and equipment. They work closely with the surgeon in the operating room, ensuring that all necessary instruments are sterile, organized, and readily available. Their role is critical in maintaining a sterile environment, preventing infections, and facilitating a smooth surgical procedure. Scrub nurses also monitor the sterile field throughout the operation and hand instruments to the surgeon as needed. They are trained in surgical procedures and infection control to support safe and efficient surgeries.
