Orthopaedic nursing is a nursing speciality that focuses on musculoskeletal problems prevention and treatment. Acute difficulties, such as fractures or hospitalisation for joint replacement, are treated differently than chronic systemic illnesses, such as loss of bone density or lupus erythematous. People with musculoskeletal diseases and disorders such as arthritis, fracture, fractured bones, joint replacements, hereditary deformities, and osteoporosis are cared for by an Orthopaedic nurse. When musculoskeletal disorders need surgery, Orthopaedic Nurses assist doctors during the procedure and later support patients in regaining mobility and strength. An Orthopaedic Nurse's role also includes educating patients and their families about musculoskeletal illness prevention, symptoms, and treatments.

• Treatment of minor injuries
• assisting persons with long-term illnesses
• Health examination
• Vaccination campaigns in progress (e.g. against flu)

Nursing Education Innovations is a collaborative effort to assess and encourage the next generation of nurses. It is currently dealing with a growing shortage of nurses, owing to a slowing population growth and a dearth of available nursing school spots across the country. Concern about the nurse expert shortage can be seen in reports from prominent nursing organisations all around the country, as well as in the actions of a number of state work stress centres.
