Guardians of the Sterile Field: A Magical Journey in OR Nursing

di Jon Cabrera (Autore)

Jon Cabrera, 2025

The Operating Room is a kingdom unlike any other — bright, sterile, unpredictable, and full of unspoken rules. Every nurse who steps through those doors is tested. Some run. Others stay. The ones who remain discover that they are not just staff — they are guardians. Protectors of sterility. Voices for the silent patient. Anchors when chaos erupts. In Guardians of the Sterile Field: A Magical Journey in OR Nursing, the world of perioperative nursing comes alive through storytelling, humor, and a touch of wizardry. This is no dry manual. It is a journey — from trembling novice to confident circulator — filled with lessons learned in real ORs, told with wit and warmth. Inside, you'll uncover: The secret rhythms of the OR — and how to find your place in them. The art of anticipation, learning to think ten steps ahead. The strange language of orthopedic surgery: drills, saws, cement, and more. How to work with surgeons, scrubs, anesthesia, and vendors as allies, not adversaries. What to do when the calm breaks — bleeding, equipment failures, codes, and emergencies. The hidden paths your OR skills unlock: leadership, education, travel, and beyond. With equal parts guidance and enchantment, this book prepares new nurses to survive their first cases — and reminds seasoned nurses why the OR, for all its intensity, is still the most magical place in the hospital. Funny, practical, and inspiring, this is the perioperative survival guide every nurse wishes they had.
