Recovery Nurse Resume
Whenever a patient has to undergo surgery, she or he gets concerned about what is going to happen in the operation room. There is always a doubt lingering in their minds whether they will be able to recover completely or not. Such patients have to be comforted and guided through the surgery procedures both before and after. Recovery nurses provide them comfort and guidance pre and post surgery. They can provide care to newborn as well as an elderly patient. They can administer medications, IVs, clean and dress wounds, and watch patients progress.
If you like to observe patients recovering from their problems and guide them through pre and post surgical procedures, you can make a career as a recovery nurse. In case you have already been in this profession and in need of change in employer, look at this sample resume and draft yours.
