Functions as a member of the interdisciplinary and nursing teams; carries out established nursing procedures and performs related duties as required; performs nursing care for patients with more complex needs with assistance and supervision.

In preparing patients for surgery, we assure their readiness and provide preoperative teaching for patients and their families.
