At NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, operating room (OR) nurses deliver incredible care that is unseen anywhere else in the world. In 2009, we performed a 43-hour surgery to remove a deeply attached abdominal tumor. Later that year, we pioneered the use of portable extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to lung transplantation, in yet another high profile case. Across all our widely renowned surgical centers, nurses are the nerve center of OR teams. From arranging care to monitoring recovery, our nurses make safe, effective and historic surgeries possible.
 
Here, OR nurses use expertise and top technology to consistently achieve among the nation’s lowest mortality rates. Our state-of-the-art operating suites include four of only six Artis Zeego 3-D robotic scanners in the world. We’re home to the new LeFrak Center for Robotic Surgery, the nation’s largest center for pediatric surgery, and a state Center of Excellence for treatment of gallbladder disease. Nurses think independently and act proactively, providing patients and families with best-in-class care.
