AB Prepare  before  you  get  to  the  OR  by  knowing  the  patient  thoroughly  and  having  a  basic  understanding  of  what  is  planned.  Avoid  stereotyping  the  nurses  as  “cranky,”  the  surgeons  as  “egotistical,”  and  the  medical  students  as  “clueless”  by  learning  the  OR  routine.  Be  alert,  attentive,  and,  above  all,  patient.  Don’t  be  afraid  to  admit  to  the  scrub  nurse  and  the  circulating  nurse  that  you’re  new  in  the  OR.  They  are  usually  happy  to  help  you  follow  correct  procedures.
