In the preface to the Core Curriculum, editor Terri Goodman, RN, MA, CPSN, CNOR, eloquently describes plastic surgical nursing as "a dynamic specialty that is expanding rapidly in response to technology, creativity, and the increasing autonomy of both nurse and patient." She goes on to say that today's "plastic surgical nurse [is] a sensitive, skilled communicator [possessing] a broad knowledge base and the ability to apply principle." These are exciting times in which to be a nurse. Yes, the winds of change are blowing. Some see them as threatening the core of medical practice, that is, caring for patients. Others see them bringing opportunity, empowerment for nurse specialists, and freedom to reach new levels of professionalism. The specialty of plastic surgical nursing is proud to be a part of this exciting future.
在《核心课程》的前言中，编辑特里·古德曼，注册护士，文学硕士，认证围手术期护理专科护士，认证手术室注册护士，生动地将整形手术护理描述为“一个充满活力的专业领域，它正随着技术、创造力以及护士和患者日益增强的自主性而迅速发展”。她接着说，如今的“整形手术护士是一位敏锐、熟练的沟通者，具备广泛的知识基础和应用原则的能力”。对于护士来说，这是令人兴奋的时代。的确，变革之风正在吹拂。一些人认为它们威胁到了医疗实践的核心，即照顾患者。另一些人则认为它们带来了机遇、赋予了专科护士权力，并为达到新的专业水平提供了自由。整形手术护理专业很自豪能成为这一激动人心的未来的一部分。
