Career Profile: Trauma Nurse
See Available Trauma Nurse Schools
Trauma nurses are registered nurses, most
often emergency nurses, who specialize in the treatment
of trauma patients. They treat patients in all settings
in the hospital or care facility, including the pre-hospital
setting, emergency department, the operating room, intensive
care units, surgical floors, rehabilitation and outpatient
services. They may also work as bedside clinicians,
educators, prevention specialists, researchers, administrators,
clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners.
In addition to their training as an emergency
nurse, in order to become a trauma nurse the RN must
have additional training in the treatment of trauma
patients as well as have experience treating them.
