What is a Prosthetic RN?

Prosthetic Registered Nurses (RNs) are specialized nurses who work with patients requiring prosthetic limbs or devices. They play a critical role in helping patients adapt to and care for their prostheses, providing education, wound care, and emotional support. Prosthetic RNs collaborate with physicians, prosthetists, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals to optimize patient outcomes. Their responsibilities may include assessing patient needs, coordinating fittings, monitoring for complications, and supporting rehabilitation efforts.
