The STC has the luxury of an all RN staff, capable of functioning in any of the surgical specialities. The PTN is a specialitist at being a generalist to provide care to a critically injured population. The role of the PTN is multifaceted and varied; it can be best described as functioning as a multidisciplinary coordinator and case manager in meeting the demands of the violent trauma patient. The patient often enters the OR severely injured, intubated, and incapable of self-protection or determination. The most important function of perioperative nursing is that of patient advocate. No other member of the trauma team is as focal to the patient's safety and comfort as the nurse. Passage from the scene of violent trauma to the OR requires dynamic assessment skills, critical thinking, and organizational capabilities. As long as interpersonal altercation results in intentional trauma, there will be a need for perioperative trauma nurses with the committement and expertise to mend the wounds of violent trauma victims.
STC拥有全由注册护士组成的团队，能够在任何外科专科领域发挥作用。PTN是一名通才专家，负责为重伤患者提供护理。PTN的角色是多方面且多样的；最好将其描述为在满足暴力创伤患者需求方面担任多学科协调员和病例管理员。患者通常在严重受伤、插管且无法自我保护或做出决定的情况下进入手术室。围手术期护理最重要的功能是充当患者的代言人。创伤团队中没有其他成员像护士那样关注患者的安全和舒适度。从暴力创伤现场转移到手术室需要动态评估技能、批判性思维和组织能力。只要人际冲突导致故意伤害，就将需要有奉献精神和专业知识的围手术期创伤护士来治愈暴力创伤受害者的伤口。
