The Role of Nurses in Patient Education

The CAMTA Nursing team plays a vital role in providing patients and their families with education on post-operative care including how to take care of a cast and how to administer the appropriate medical regimine once patients leave the hospital. 

Pediatric Ward Nurses Julie Cadrin and Shannon Powell with the help of Julianna provide education on how parents can take care of the casts their children have received post-surgery.

Shannon and Julianna work to ensure that Leslie's mother understands the antibiotic and pain medication schedule so that she can effectively administer the medications after Leslie's discharge.
