This week marks Perioperative Nurses Week, an annual celebration of the nurses who help our patients through operations and their commitment to safe patient care.
Our perioperative nurses are dedicated, compassionate, and fundamental to our patient care team. They provide a high level of specialized nursing care for our patients before, during, and after the procedure and play a significant role in our patient’s well-being throughout their care.
We could not care for our patients without them, and they improve every aspect of the lives of our patients, their families, and their loved ones as they go through the stress of surgery.
Join me in recognizing and celebrating our Duke Orthopaedic perioperative nurses and their dedication to improving patient care, and thank them for all they do!
All the best,
Ben
