What does a plastic surgery RN do?

A Plastic Surgery RN (Registered Nurse) is a specialized nurse who assists plastic surgeons before, during, and after surgical and non-surgical procedures. Their duties include patient assessment, preparing patients for surgery, assisting in the operating room, monitoring vital signs, and providing post-operative care and education. They also play a key role in ensuring patient safety, managing pain, and supporting recovery. In addition, Plastic Surgery RNs often help with wound care, medication administration, and answering patient questions about procedures and recovery.

What does a plastic surgery RN do?

Plastic surgery registered nurses (RNs) work with plastic surgeons to perform damage repair or cosmetic procedures on their patients. As a plastic surgery RN, you prepare patients for surgery; you collect relevant information, take vital signs, explain what happens during the procedure, and describe how to care for themselves at home after the surgery. You also assist during the operation and monitor the patient’s condition after surgery. In some offices, you administer injections and skin treatments, such as Botox and chemical peels. Plastic surgery cases may involve patients who need reconstruction following an illness or injury, such as breast cancer patients who had a mastectomy or burn victims who need skin grafts. Other patients seek cosmetic surgery to enhance a feature for aesthetic reasons, such as liposuction or facial contouring.

A Plastic Surgery RN plays a vital role throughout a patient's surgical experience, from pre-operative assessment to post-operative care. Responsibilities often include preparing patients for surgery, assisting the surgical team in the operating room, monitoring patients during recovery, and providing detailed post-op instructions to ensure proper healing. RNs also act as a key liaison between patients, surgeons, and other healthcare staff, addressing patient concerns and coordinating follow-up care. This dynamic role requires strong communication skills and the ability to respond quickly to patient needs.
