A few points about Medical Surgery:
Medical-surgical or med-surg nursing provides care to pediatric and adult patients with various medical conditions, including issues that may require surgery. A versatile member of the heathcare team, med-surg nurses work in the operating room, the exam room, the patient’s room, and beyond. Med-surg nurses are frequently found in the hospital or inpatient setting, and over time often specialize into more niche disciplines, such as a specific set of medical conditions. (NurseJournal.org)
