Orthopaedic Nursing

Orthopaedic nursing is a specialized field focused on caring for patients with musculoskeletal conditions, such as fractures, joint replacements, and sports injuries. Orthopaedic nurses assist with pre- and post-surgical care, manage pain, monitor healing, and promote mobility and rehabilitation. They work closely with surgeons, physical therapists, and patients to ensure effective recovery and improve quality of life. Their role combines clinical skills and patient education to support individuals in regaining movement and function after injury or surgery.
