Medical-surgical nursing is one of the most diverse and rewarding fields within the nursing profession. As medical-surgical nurses, also known as med-surg nurses, work in a variety of settings, they are responsible for caring for adult patients who are undergoing surgical procedures or dealing with a wide range of medical conditions. These nurses are the backbone of hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings, offering patient care before, during, and after surgery, and helping manage chronic illnesses.
