A Trauma Nurse provides critical care to patients who have suffered severe injuries or trauma. You might work in emergency departments, trauma centres, or intensive care units. Trauma Nurses are skilled in rapid assessment, stabilisation, and treatment of life-threatening conditions. You’ll work closely with doctors and other healthcare professionals to provide immediate care, manage pain, and monitor patient progress.
Trauma Nurses play a vital role in saving lives and supporting patients during their most vulnerable moments. You’ll need to be calm under pressure, highly skilled in emergency care, and able to make quick decisions. You’ll also communicate with patients’ families to provide updates and offer emotional support during challenging times.
