Lauren shares what surgeons can do to improve the OR. Revisit this important episode with us. ___ Lauren Kirwan is the nurse clinician for general surgery at the Foothills Medical Centre. She is currently finishing up her nurse practitioner degree. We wanted to ask Lauren her thoughts about what it means to be an OR nurse and what she wishes surgeons would do to make the OR environment better. We also hear about the impact of COVID19 on our nursing colleagues. We’d love to hear from our nurse listeners – what are some things that make your day or make you mad in the operating room?
