Medical-surgical nurses focus every day on
caring compassionately for patients and families. The Academy of
Medical-Surgical Nurses (AMSN) has designated a special week to shift that
focus to the nurses themselves. Magnolia Regional Medical Center will participate in recognizing their medical-surgical
nurses during Medical-Surgical Nurses Week, November 1-7, 2013.
Medical-surgical nurses possess specialized
skills and knowledge of the entire spectrum of nursing care. They make a
difference by building the profession of nursing and the medical-surgical
nursing specialty, mentoring and nurturing each other, advocating for patients
and families, serving their communities through care and education, and
improving patient care.
More information about the work of medical-surgical
nurses, Medical-Surgical Nurses Week and products promoting the event are
available on AMSN’s
Web site.
The special week is also meant to raise
awareness of the medical-surgical nursing specialty among other nurses. One of
the most diverse nursing specialties practiced today, medical-surgical nurses
care for adult patients in a broad range of settings, applying their expert
knowledge to all body systems and disease processes.
