Overall Description:

Surgical nurses care for patients before, during and after surgery. Some nurses will prepare the patient for surgery, others serve during the actual procedure and additional nurses work in the recovery area. Surgical nurses are part of a well-orchestrated team that also includes staff doctors, anesthesiologists or nurse anesthetists, surgeons, surgery techs and maybe even residents or medical students. Everyone has a job, and everything has a place. That makes surgical nursing a great fit for nurses who love order and organization.
