As a trauma surgical nurse, I am trained to assess, stabilize, and manage patients with severe injuries, such as gunshot wounds, car accidents, or falls from great heights. I also play a significant role in patient education. It's my responsibility to provide patients with information about their conditions, medications, and any necessary lifestyle modifications. Additionally, I work closely with other healthcare professionals such as surgeons, therapists, and other nurses to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan for our patients. Another crucial aspect of my role is advocating for the needs and rights of my patients. This involves ensuring that they receive appropriate medical treatment, understanding their concerns, and communicating their needs to the healthcare team.
