Medical-Surgical RNs work in a variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals and clinics. They’re typically involved in patient care from beginning to end. The Med-Surg RN handles the admission process and conducts the initial assessment. After a Physician creates a care plan, the RN carries out the necessary monitoring, testing and treatments. Throughout the process, they document patients’ vitals, symptoms and progress. Medical-Surgical Nurses also play a key communication role. They often coordinate care with different members of the patient’s medical team, including Physicians, Surgeons and Specialists. Depending on the situation, they may be responsible for educating and providing emotional support to patients and family members.
