What is a Pre Op RN Travel nurse?

A Pre Op RN Travel nurse is a registered nurse who specializes in caring for patients before they undergo surgery and works on temporary assignments in different healthcare facilities. Their primary responsibilities include preparing patients for surgical procedures, conducting assessments, providing education, and ensuring all preoperative protocols are followed. As a travel nurse, they fill staffing gaps in hospitals and surgical centers across various locations, often on short-term contracts.
