What does a trauma nurse do exactly?


I beleive they are called STN nurses?

what exactly do they do ?

and what training education requirements are usually necessary?

thanks for your answers!

they work exclusively in the trauma unit, an extension of A+E/emergency room in large hospital. they are responsible for putting in intravenous drips, taking b.p. readings etc. you have to be a qualified nurse to work there.
