The perioperative nurse's primary responsibility is to care for the patient during the operation?s three phases; before, during and after. The communication between colleagues in the surgical department is increasing opportunities for safe care for the patient and a good dialogue with the patient can alleviate the concerns facing the unknown environment such as an operating theater. The pilot study was to investigate the surgical nurses' perceptions of conversations with the patient one year after graduation. To answer the pilot study's aim a qualitative interview study was chosen with a phenomenographic approach. Four theater nurses were interviewed and all interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The texts were analyzed and the main points of the texts were then formed into four main themes with subthemes. The pilot study showed that theater nurses did not feel a need to meet the patients postoperatively; this is different from previous studies. The importance for the informants was to meet with the patient preoperatively, to introduce themselves and give information. Time with the patient was competed with anesthetists and the informants felt that they had to take place to get access to the patient. The education imparts knowledge of the perioperative model where all informants agreed, but the dialogue was not the main part. The practical knowledge came first. Communication with patients occurs through the routine questions that are generated locally in each operating department. It also emerged in the pilot study the importance of scanning each patient's individual needs for contact and at what level a theater nurse puts her appearance in the encounter with the patient.
