Surgical Nursing

Surgical nursing is a specialized field dedicated to providing care to patients before, during, and after surgical procedures. Surgical nurses play a critical role in the surgical team by ensuring that patients are adequately prepared for surgery, monitoring vital signs, and maintaining a sterile environment in the operating room. They conduct preoperative assessments, educate patients about the procedure and postoperative care, and address concerns to alleviate anxiety. During surgery, they assist the surgical team by managing instruments and supplies, supporting the surgeon, and ensuring compliance with safety protocols. Postoperatively, surgical nurses monitor patients for complications, manage pain, and guide them through the recovery process. This role requires strong clinical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to perform effectively in high-pressure environments, making surgical nurses essential for ensuring patient safety and promoting positive surgical outcomes.
