An operating room nurse is not just a surgeon’s assistant but a full-fledged participant in a complex and precise process where every second matters. Their attentiveness, quick reaction, and professionalism determine not only the surgeon’s comfort but also the patient’s life.

The history of this profession dates back to the times when the first surgical procedures were performed in field conditions, with nurses standing beside doctors. As medicine advanced, their role evolved. Today, an operating room nurse does not just hand instruments to the surgeon but also ensures sterility, monitors the patient’s condition, and, in critical situations, acts with a precision comparable to that of a surgeon.

Astana Medical University trains professionals in the field of nursing, placing special emphasis on practical skills and modern surgical assistance methods. Future specialists study anatomy, surgical intervention techniques, antiseptic and sterilization protocols, and resuscitation procedures. The university’s educational programs are designed to develop specialists capable of working in the most challenging clinical conditions.

Working in an operating room is a daily test of endurance, professionalism, and readiness for unexpected situations. This profession requires focus, composure, and the ability to work in sync with surgeons, anticipating their every move. An operating room nurse is a reliable support for the surgeon, an unsung hero without whom no successful surgery would be possible.

We congratulate all operating room nurses on their professional holiday! May your work bring you fulfillment, may your strength never wane, and may each day be filled with respect and gratitude!
