The author gives a peak into a world many people even within healthcare aren't completely familiar with. The book contains chapters about the author's personal journey to become an OR nurse, which along the way give the reader deeper insights into the world of the OR. There are many personal stories throughout the book that the author shares which reveal the unique culture of the OR. Nursing students, nurses, and even patients themselves will get a better understanding of what work is like for nurses and other medical staff who work "behind the red line." The author is a current full-time OR nurse in a large urban hospital in the United States and has worked in multiple surgical settings involving direct patient care and clinical education related to the OR. Written anonymously, the author retells their experiences and gives their observations that will surely resonate with other OR nurses and allow others who have not worked in the OR to gain a better understanding of how different the OR is from other places in the hospital.
