Thank you for this glimpse into your work environment. I wonder if surgery nurses have it better? I had a minor surgery recently, and was taken by how happy the men and women in the pre-surgery room were, all bustling about, all with important things to do, all wearing the same color scrubs. I couldn't perceive a hierarchy. But I heard a lot of laughter. When my anesthesiologist arrived he waved a vial over his head and said "I've got drugs!" Hahahah!
