Part 1: General Surgical Nursing
- We have organized everything from pre-operative preparation and patient education for patients scheduled for surgery to post-operative nursing precautions and complications.
In particular, we looked into the common symptoms that patients complain of after surgery and explained in detail the reasons for them and how to deal with them.
- In surgery, wound/drainage care and ostomy care are essential nursing care that cannot be overlooked.
We have included real photos to make it more realistic so that new nurses can easily understand.

Part 2
In this case-by-case surgical practice tip, we introduce cases by part and explain the process from admission to discharge based on actual doctor's prescriptions to help you.

I recommend this in this situation.
· A new nurse who just joined the surgical ward
· Nurses with 2-3 years of experience who are not new but feel they need to study more
· Senior nurses who want to provide easy-to-understand information to new nurses
· A prospective nurse who is overwhelmed by the challenges of studying before joining the company
· Student nurses who want to study more during clinical practice

“Thump thump”
I think this word captures both of the feelings of nurses who first start working in a surgical ward.
It could be the fear of being in a fast-paced surgical ward or the excitement of seeing patients recover and return to their daily lives.
I prepared this book to help you overcome your fears when you first step foot on the surgical ward and work in the nursing field with only excitement.
