It is a real thing, however presence of an anesthesia machine does not make it an OR, they can still be classified as procedure rooms.
Some places have a lot more rules than others, try working at a “for profit physician owned” hospital. Super strict regulations that all you people at non profit places don’t have to consider. However, they can still be a great place to work.
 
Just get an ICU vent and a prop pump. Don’t an actual “anesthesia machine” to intbate and do a GA.
