Abstract: Objective: To explore the application and effect of mobile nurses for human resource management in the operating room. Methods: According to the work characteristics of the operating room nurses, we explored the effective methods for the management, training, assessment and deployment of mobile nurses in the operating room. We investigated the evaluation of the training and management mode among operating room mobile nurses. We calculated the deployment times, working hours and operation volume of mobile nurses during the employment period. We compared the scores of theory and skill assessment results, post competence and job satisfaction during the employment period. Results: Totally 56 mobile nurses in the operating room were trained and 37 passed the assessment. We deployed mobile nurses 3,185 times from March 2016 to December 2018 with a total of 25,168 hours and completing 7,518 surgeries. The training evaluation of mobile nurses in the operating room and the department's attractiveness satisfaction were 100.00% and 91.90%, respectively. The scores of theory and skill assessment, job satisfaction and post competence were improved obviously. Conclusion: The mobile nurses in the operating room could effectively supplement the shortage of operating room nurses, increase the effective communication and exchange between the operating room and various clinical departments, improve mobile nurse's job satisfaction and comprehensive ability, and save manpower cost.
