Operating room nurses are regarded as a vital component of healthcare facilities. Throughout the entire surgical process, they perform vital tasks like managing the surgical instruments and providing care for the patients. The purpose of this study is to ascertain operating room nurses' job satisfaction levels and examine the contributing elements. The study is a research in a relational screening model designed with a quantitative method. The data of the research were obtained from surveys conducted with a total of 296 nurses working as operating room nurses. T test, ANOVA and correlation analysis were applied to the collected data. According to the research findings, nurses' general job satisfaction scores were found to be 3.28. In the study, a significant difference was found between age, marital status and educational status variables and job satisfaction. It was found statistically significant that the job satisfaction value of the surgical departments group was lower than that of other departments. Finally, there is a positive and highly significant relationship between internal satisfaction and external satisfaction (r=.683, p<0.01). There is a positive and highly significant relationship between internal satisfaction and job satisfaction (r=.941, p<0.01). A positive and highly significant relationship was determined between external satisfaction and job satisfaction (r=.882, p<0.01).
