We are celebrating OPERATING ROOM NURSE DAY, and we want you to join us! Do you like celebrating year round?

Did you know that just about every day of the year has been designated as a “holiday”? Celebrating the wacky and fun day can bring tons of enjoyment. That’s why we are planning on making every day a holiday. Here are a few Fun Ways to Celebrate operating room nurse day!
Operating Room Nurse
What is Operating Room Nurse Day? Well, Operating Room Nurse Day honors the nurses that work in the operating room and is celebrated on November 14th of each year.
Did you know that the history of nursing dates back over 2000 years? Operating room nurses may not perform the actual surgery but they are responsible for patient care during the operation, maintaining a sterile environment, handling medical equipment, prepping and taking care of patients, and much, much more. It’s an extremely difficult job!
We can’t think of a better day than today to thank our Operating Room Nurse Friends for their tireless work in the Surgical Theater! Here are some ways we came up with to celebrate the day and thank them. Be sure to check out the other fun and wacky November holidays you can celebrate with us!

How to Sew Surgical Hats
1. Surgical Cap for Women ~ The fun thing about this pattern is that it is easy to use two complementing patterns of fabric for a truly unique cap.
2. Surgical Scrub Cap ~ It’s all about your preference. This cap is great for women with lots of hair that needs to be contained!
3. Bouffant Surgical Cap ~ Very similar to the cap shown above, this pattern illustrates how different the cap can look using two different fabric patterns.
4. Two-Tone Surgical Hat ~ This surgical hat was made by trial and error with hand drawn instructions and dimensions. We’ve found that sometimes the best patterns are done by trial and error!
