Skills and Characteristics
Like all RNs and LPNs, laser nurses need compassion and empathy for their patients and must be skilled at developing rapport. Physical stamina is important, and the nurse may spend much of the day standing or walking. The nurse needs detail orientation to follow instructions carefully and ensure the patient's safety. In addition, a laser nurse should have good vision and eye-hand coordination to see small details on the patient's skin and use the equipment safely and correctly. Because nurses must document all aspects of their care, the laser nurse should have good writing skills.
Major Responsibilities
The primary function of a laser nurse is to improve the patient's skin condition, whether in treating a medical problem or for cosmetic purposes. A laser nurse uses the laser to remove discoloration, surface skin, tissues or growths. She also provides other skin care. The nurse might use a prescription ointment or cream, manually debride the skin, provide wound care or apply dressings. Laser nurses also teach patients how to care for their skin after or between treatments. Lasers can be harmful to tissue, so the laser nurse must follow proper safety precautions at all times.
Secondary Responsibilities
The exact procedures a laser nurse may perform will vary from one state to another, as each state regulates the practice of nursing within its borders. In addition to direct laser treatment, a laser nurse might perform other dermatological or esthetic procedures. A laser nurse might inject Botox, for example, or use a chemical skin peel or massage therapy. In some organizations, the laser nurse might be the laser safety officer, charged with ensuring that all laser-related activities are performed correctly. Laser nurses collaborate with other members of the health care team, such as physicians. They document all treatments and responses in the patient's medical record.
