Perioperative nursing includes those activities performed by the professional registered nurse in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative phases of surgery.
Perioperative nurses are registered nurses who work in hospital surgical departments, day-surgery units (also called ambulatory surgery), clinics and physicians’ offices. They work closely with the surgical patient, family members and other health-care professionals to help plan, implement and evaluate treatment.
Perioperative nursing is an exciting field for nurses who have the skills and who enjoy working with patients and surgeons immediately before, during, and after a procedure.
