When your a nurse do you have to patch up your patients?

Question

when your a nurse, if you have a patient that has wound? would you have to patch them up?

Answer 1

nurses do not close wounds with stitches, staples, or glue...we do change the dressings on open and closed wounds...

Answer 2

As the other poster indicated, yes we do perform wound care (although I do like your term of "patch them up.") We do a lot of patching-up. I spent a career as a Navy nurse, and trust me we did a h**l of a lot of patching up Marines and Sailors.

Answer 3

NO YOU JUST STAND THERE AND WATCH THE BLOOD FLOW. PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOR AND LOOK FOR A DIFFERENT PROFESSION.
