Scrub nurses who work in surgery are responsible for sterilizing equipment and ensuring that the operating environment is aseptic. Their pre-operative duties involve preparing patients for surgery by following site surgery protocols, getting information about allergies and compiling pathology results, and imaging. In the operating theatre they assist by anticipating what the surgeons are going to do next and watching over the patient, checking for complications. When patients leave the operating theatre, nurses monitor them very closely during the crucial post-operative recovery period.
