What is a medical surgical nurse?

Medical Surgical nurses, often called Med-Surg nurses, are registered nurses who specialize in caring for adult patients with a wide range of medical conditions or those recovering from surgery. They work in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings, managing patient care, monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and assisting with procedures.
