National Medical Surgical Nurses Week November 1 - 7

Medical Surgical Nurses Week is the perfect time to honor these RNs who truly do it all -- and a little bit more.

This month, we take a week to honor a group of nurses who are the backbone of the healthcare system: medical-surgical nurses! These professionals, the largest group of specialty RNs, are integral to providing a high standard of specialized medical care in hospitals and healthcare institutions nationwide. Most patients who have been admitted to the hospital were treated by a med-surg nurse at some point.

Over the past few years, Med-Surg nurses have only reinforced the importance of their role in patient care. In part, because of the breadth of their skill set, Med/Surg nurses have been called upon to support, and lead, treatment efforts in hospitals under extreme pressure.

Med surg nurses are in demand across the country. If you are a med-surg nurse interested in expanding your clinical skills while exploring the United States, we have some rewarding Med Surg travel nursing opportunities for you! We staff at leading healthcare institutions nationwide, and have knowledgeable recruiters who can answer all of your questions.

If you’re not a med/surg nurse but want to honor these deserving individuals, check out the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses’ ideas for celebrating Med-Surg Nurses Week. They have everything from printable banners to hang wherever you choose, to suggestions for getting your community involved in the celebration. However you choose to show your gratitude, let's make sure that the med-surg nurses in our life feel the love!

To all med-surg nurses, we at American Traveler thank you!
