Trauma Nurse
Save
Trauma nurses are responsible for providing emergency care to patients who have suffered a traumatic injury. This can include anything from a car accident to a gunshot wound. Trauma nurses must be able to think quickly and calmly under pressure, and they must have a strong understanding of human anatomy and physiology. They must also be able to work well as part of a team and communicate effectively with other medical professionals.
Education and Training
Most trauma nurses have a bachelor's degree in nursing. They may also have a critical care nursing certification. Trauma nurses must also complete a trauma nurse training program, which typically takes about a year to complete. This training program will teach nurses the skills they need to care for trauma patients, including how to assess injuries, stabilize patients, and provide emergency care.
