Orthopaedic nurses, nicknamed ortho nurses, are nurses who are integral to the medical-surgical, outpatient, and OR teams. They hold a special place in the medical world, using specialised expertise, pain management, endless compassion, resilience, and teamwork to rehabilitate and discharge patients in a way that leaves them educated and confident about their healing journey. Therefore, it’s no wonder that medical facilities clamour for orthopaedic agency work nurses in Birmingham.
Nurses choose Proximity Healthcare for healthcare agency work because we provide nurses with the opportunity to pick the shifts they would like, as well as the choice to choose their work environments, like hospital units, rehabilitation centres, homes, and outpatient clinics.
Ortho nurses are responsible for developing and implementing plans of care, controlling pain, properly positioning patients, educating patients and their families, assessing for problems after surgery, and helping patients learn to ambulate again.
They work closely with PACU, physical and occupational therapists, social workers, case managers, and surgeons, ensuring a captivating work day through collaborating between disciplines. Orthopaedic nurses also experience a large variety of patient populations, working with young people who have experienced an accident to older adults with arthritis.
