🥳 Happy Perioperative Nurses Week 🎉 This week, we shine a spotlight on the incredible perioperative nurses who play a vital role in patient care before, during, and after surgery. 🏥✨ From the moment a patient arrives at the hospital to the time they are safely wheeled out, these nurses are there, working tirelessly to monitor vital signs, manage complex equipment, and coordinate with surgeons and anesthesiologists. Their keen attention to detail and ability to anticipate the needs of both patients and surgical teams are vital in fostering an environment of safety and trust.
