Sterile Field Experience

Every single activity done in these three days highly contribute to my learning as well as my performance as a nurse. Knowing how to prepare an OR room, properly wear special gowning, and maintaining my sterile field are going to be especially important in a future since I’m planning on pursuing a specialty that includes activities in the operating room. Even though, we have learned some of these techniques in the classroom and labs, they are practiced differently. For example, in the lab or in a clinical setting such as “med-surg,” it is no necessary for any person to help us don a gown; however, in the OR a person will need the assistance of other individual to help tie a gown since this activity can contaminate the sterility of their gloves.
