Whilst discussing the need to increase the number of theatre nurses, Professor Roger Dyson claimed that nurses overtly tended to devalue theatre work as not being 'real nursing'. Many nurses who work outside theatre may support this. Sadly, this may be further supported by theatre nurses themselves. Such statements as 'I know I'm a good nurse because I can scrub for anything' is a comment which has been made to this author on more than one occasion. As Casey states, the conventional image of nurses in theatre is less about nursing and more about technical assistance with operating procedures.
在讨论增加手术室护士数量的必要性时，罗杰·戴森教授声称，护士往往公然贬低手术室工作，认为其不是“真正的护理”。许多在手术室以外工作的护士可能会支持这种观点。可悲的是，手术室护士自己可能也会进一步支持这种观点。不止一次有人对笔者说过诸如“我知道我是一名优秀的护士，因为我能为任何手术进行刷手准备”这样的话。正如凯西所说，手术室护士的传统形象更多的是在手术操作过程中提供技术协助，而非护理工作。
