All of our qualified operating room registered nurses and surgical technologists have their clinical specialty certification. Earning a specialty clinical credential is accomplished through study and preparation regime which culminates in a comprehensive exam of their mastery of a rigorous body of clinical knowledge. Clinical specialty credentialing not earned easily; it is also a mark of distinction and is a highly sought after personal as well as professional accomplishment.

Monadnock hospital operating nurses have also earned the distinction of CNOR strong in 2017 and 2018.

Quality care is the first priority of this busy department and they must adhere to tight state and federal requirements.

"It’s easy to forget how lucky we are to have Monadnock Community Hospital here in Peterborough. Around the country local hospitals are closing and people are left traveling long distances for routine and emergency care. I recently had surgery at MCH and can’t stop raving about the amazing care I received. From the pre-surgery appointments and tests, to the surgery to the 2 days in-patient recovering I was treated with kindness and professionalism every step of the way... I wish I knew the name of everyone who cared for me, I would like to thank each and every one of them. There are many I never met, working behind the scenes or during my surgery. The ones I did meet offered help, provided clear instructions and obviously cared deeply for their patients... Use their services whenever you can and thank their workers when you see them. Our local hospital and its workers are a vital community resource and what would we do without them??" - Lara
