Plastic Surgery Nurse Job Description

A plastic surgery nurse is a nurse who specializes in caring for patients undergoing plastic surgery and other types of cosmetic medical procedures.

Plastic surgery nurses are trained in a variety of areas, including anesthesia, infection prevention, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and patient monitoring.

They typically work in hospitals under the supervision of an attending physician.

Plastic surgery nurses are often responsible for helping patients prepare for surgery, administering anesthesia, caring for the patient during surgery, and helping the patient recover from the surgery.

They evaluate patients’ physical and emotional health during pre- and postsurgical visits, and they conduct tests to detect infections, inflammation, and organ failure.
