What Is an Operating Room Nurses Salary?
Operating room nurses generally have achieved a minimum of LPN status, licensed practical nurse, although some more-experienced nurses may be registered nurses. Nurses who are involved in emergency, critical-care or surgical care of patients typically make more money than other staff nurses, and OR nurses are no exception. Nurses who have advanced-degree training, such as nurse practitioners who specialize in acute and critical care, can earn even more money as OR nurses.
