    Reyjan L. Apolonio reflects on their experience in their operating room rotation. They observed various surgical procedures including an open cholecystectomy where they served as the circulating nurse. While nervous at first, the circulating nurse guided and supported Apolonio, teaching them the roles and responsibilities. Apolonio learned how to prepare for surgery, count instruments accurately, and communicate with the surgical team. They want to continue developing skills like inserting catheters and assisting in other procedures to gain more experience for a future career as an operating room nurse, if that is God's plan.

    Make a reaction regarding your experiences in your OR rotation. Focus on what you have learned and
    what you still want to learn. Write it in a bond paper at least in 8-10 sentences.

    This paper's objective is to explain our experience in the operating room at the hospital. I went to
    the operating room on October 10, 2022. Observing every step of the process was fascinating. Although
    the atmosphere in the operating room was relaxed, everyone there had a severe obligation to complete
    their tasks. Before the patient arrived, everyone worked together as a team to get everything ready for the
    operation. They got the correct equipment for each surgery and had everything set up for the surgery to
    begin within twenty minutes of the patient being in the operating room. During the surgical procedure, the
    environment was focused on getting the job done promptly but not rushing to the surgeon. Everybody
    usually talked, and everyone followed the doctor's orders. My first case was open cholecystectomy, and I
    was the circulating nurse. At first, I was so nervous that I could not speak correctly, but then the circulating
    nurse beside me was always comforting me. She was the reason why I gained confidence throughout the
    procedure. She taught me everything the circulating nurse would do if there were surgery. So, she guided
    me in preparing all the processes and oriented me on what I would do if it were counting instruments. She
    told me to listen carefully to every number that the scrub nurse would state because if I got it wrong, they
    would scold me. After all, counting instruments before and after the surgery is vital. She also taught me
    the names of different instruments used. After the surgery, the doctor allowed me to examine the
    extracted bladder of the patient and described why it was happening, the causes, and the guidance on
    how to avoid it. While cleaning the surgical room for the subsequent surgery, I communicated with the
    nurses and surgical team. They explained the flow and equipment that was used in the operating room.
    They were all so courteous and helpful. They were not screaming at students, and they were
    understanding. They even make jokes and impart life lessons that are beneficial in the long run. I have also
    seen a couple of other procedures. It was not so much the procedures that got to me. It was the fact that
    it was so cold. I was so cold I could not stop shaking, no matter how hard I tried. I still want to learn to
    insert a catheter in a human; though I have experience now, I want to do it professionally and smoothly
    and with skin preparation. Also, I want to see and be part of the team in other procedures that will help
    me shortly. My experience in OR duty is alluring. Soon, if it's God's plan, I would love to work as a nurse in
    OR setting.
