Why are operating room nurses called theatre nurses?


Why are operating room nurses called theatre nurses?

In teaching hospitals many operating rooms are set up more or less as theaters, with areas where interns and students can observe a procedure.

Many of these hospitals refer to all operating rooms as theaters and therefore an O.R. nurse would be known as a theater nurse. I believe the terminology is more common in Britain than it is in the U.S.

Because of hospitals that have operating rooms with observation rooms or theatres.

Because the operations/operating room can also be called an operating theatre.

Surgical rooms are called operation theatres.
