Nurses provide direct and individualized nursing care to patients
based on the application of scientific nursing principles. In
addition to general nursing care, responsibilities of Med/Surg
Nurses include consults and coordination with healthcare team
members to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate patient care
plans. They prepare and administer medications (orally,
subcutaneously, IV, and IM) and record prescribed medications. The
nurses report adverse reactions to medications or treatments
according to policy regarding medication administration. Educating
patients on surgical procedures is also part of their role. They
record patients' medical information and vital signs and monitor
specialized equipment used on patients. The nurses interpret and
record electronic displays and initiate corrective actions for
adverse symptomatology. Providing bedside care for a wide variety
of medical patients, including pre- and post-surgery patients, is
essential. They initiate patient education plans as prescribed by
physicians. The nurses teach patients and significant others how to
manage their illness or injury, including post-treatment home care
needs. Changing dressings, inserting catheters, starting IVs, and
preparing equipment are also duties performed. They assist
physicians during examinations and treatments and respond to
life-saving situations based on nursing standards and protocols.
Participation in discharge planning is an important facet of their
work. Utilizing time management skills and accurately documenting
care information in a timely manner is required. The nurses perform
other position-related duties as assigned, depending on the
assignment setting. 5 Benefits of Travel Nursing Advocating for
patients becomes more nuanced when dealing with diverse
populations. Travel nursing exposes you to different patient
advocacy scenarios, refining your advocacy skills. Confront diverse
medical cases that challenge and expand your skill set. Each
assignment becomes a learning opportunity, contributing
significantly to your professional growth and expertise. Healthcare
facilities may follow different nursing models and practices.

of nursing and healthcare delivery. Many travel nurses find
permanent positions at healthcare facilities where they've

into a long-term role after exploring different options. Step out
of your comfort zone and face new challenges, fostering personal
resilience and adaptability. Travel nursing becomes a
