Restorative Nurse Resume
Restorative nurses work with a same patient for a long time depending on the time required to get well from an injury or illness. Mostly, they give nursing care to elderly patients who are facing medical, injury, and age-related problems all together. It is not that they are capable of looking after older people only. They are also capable of taking care of young people who have met accidents and are on a wheelchair or with a plaster. Besides caring for these two types of patients, they also give care to people who cannot recover completely and want assistance to lead the life independently.
