Urology Nursing
Learn How to Become a Urology Nurse
Urology nurses care for patients with urinary tract problems such as urinary tract infections, kidney stones, cancers, prostatitis, or other specific conditions. Urology nurses perform initial evaluations of symptoms, assist doctors with diagnostic and treatment procedures, and provide expert patient education and counseling services.
