Surgical nursing is a specialty area concerned with the care of patients with surgical disorders in a broad range of settings, and they are the backbone of the surgical team. So far, Surgical Nursing has a specialty truck at the MSc level. Due to the increment of the demand for quality care in society, increasing surgical cases and complications, and the advancement of technology, producing Surgical Nurses become compulsory. These specialty programs will have a paramount effect in reducing the nurse’s workload, rotation, and high staff turnover. So, the healthcare delivery system will also have a tremendous change.
