Trauma Nurse

                          Trauma Nurse 

Duties and Responsibilities:

 

 Trauma nursing involves responding quickly to a wide variety of single- and multisystem trauma involving different patient needs, ages, cultures, and severity of presenting symptoms. The trauma nurse must respond with decisiveness and clarity to unexpected events by assessing, intervening, and stabilizing patients about whom there is minimal information.

Education:

  Students wishing to pursue a career as a trauma nurse have a choice of several educational pathways. College and universities offer four-year programs to earn a Bachelor of Science nursing degree . Community colleges, junior colleges and vocational training institutes offer three-year associate's degree programs . Some hospitals present three-year administered in-hospital training programs. Secondary educational options include a master's or doctorate in trauma medicine.

  I would not like to become a trauma nurse because I would not like to see people pass away if they don’t make it in time.
