Recommended: Reflections nurses on surgical ward

Having some of the best nurses in the community, I had the privilege of interviewing Mrs. Jill Arndt, RN, BSN, MSN, manager of Day Surgery at SSM Health, St. Mary’s Hospital in Madison, WI. Touching on different aspects of surgical nursing, she believes that surgical nursing is very important. With six or more months of technical training skills, a surgical nurse has to be a critical thinker, a communicator, someone that is detail oriented and is able to collaborate with others. She went on to say that surgical nurses are to follow the standards of the Association of PeriOperative Registered Nurses AORN), likewise, the organization for which they are employed.

  • Vision Of The APRN Role

    1019 Words  | 3 Pages

    As a medical / surgical RN, I provided care for the elderly, the infirm, the mentally challenged, the young, and the psychologically disturbed. The wide variety of patients exposed me to the effects of life style choices, health care choices, and the resulting impacts to the patient as well as to the family of the patient. This experience has fully matured my view of the awesome responsibility that we, as health care professionals, have been charged with, and it has furthered my desire to obtain the skills necessary to provide more advanced care for my patients. In addition to exposure, maturity and experience, my career as a medical / surgical RN has also sharpened my critical thinking abilities and provided insight on observing signs and symptoms that a patient may be unware of. Furthermore, as a charge nurse I learned the importance of collaborating with other health care professionals in order to provide the highest level of care available. In summary, my career as an RN has provided valuable experience, maturity, exposure to impact and outcome, enhanced my critical thinking abilities, and improved my collaboration

Once patients are transferred to the surgical ward, the goal is to assist in the recovery process, as well as providing referral details and education on care required when the patient returns home (Hamlin, 2010).
