Today licensed medical-surgical nurses work in a variety of positions, inpatient clinics, emergency departments, HMO's, administration, out patient surgical centers, home health care, humanitarian relief work, ambulatory surgical care, and skilled nursing homes. Some military medical-surgical nurses serve on battlefields.
