What's best main skill for nurse at surgery?

[Tresette]

Treatment? Info does not specify.
Thx

Treatment IMO. It seems like anything other than ward management or diagnostics, requires treatment.

I assume Treatment since you only treat people in that room.

I would guess treatment but would have to look up what the effect would actually be. Its not impossible that the surgery only takes the surgeons skill into the calculation

If you want to test find at least two nurses with different treatment skill value shown on the stats tab of their staff window, pause the game, drop one of them into the surgery and click on a patient to see their cure percentage, then remove them and drop the other nurse with the different skill value in and check the cure percentage again.

Just remember that cure percentage seems to cap out at 99%.

Oh wow, I didn't think of that ! Thank you 😃

Did that - thanks for the hint.
Nurse A has 1 Treatment, Nurse B has 2 Treatment + 1 Injection. Unfortunately both remain at 57% cure rate. So it seems NOT to be Treatment or Injection :(

I did test out treatment and it does not change anything.

I genuinely think that this is the only case in the game where training has no impact whatsoever. Nurses aren't there to perform any action they are backup to assist the doctor. The only perk I give to my surgery nurses is stamina.

Motivation may have an impact but haven't checked myself and I'm too lazy to check a whopping 10% difference. But if that's the case then having a nurse with the personality trait motivated on top of the motivation training would be the best nurses to go for surgeries.

So then Surgery rooms are great places for Junior Nurses :)

Seems like it yes. But at the same time you often get a surgery room when you don't really need to use junior nurses anymore. I mean you often have already skilled ones and I personally prefer to have a nurse per surgery room dedicated to it to make sure there's always one ready because having a roster of potential ones can make things complicated if they are doing something else.

You can also synchronize your surgeon and nurse super easily which is very neat when they both work exclusively in surgery.

When you think of real life that sounds very bad :D

Well if your hospital is still growing surgery seems to be the place to train new junior nurses.

Bedside Manners, emotional intelligence, diagnostics, stamnia.

All help. A surgeon assistance is there for support, so it does make sense. I got this from a livestream...I forget the chaps name, I come back after I find it out.

I was actually wondering about this myself in general for all job types. Is it worth going down the path of super doctors/nurses for diagnosis or is it more better to balance it with other benefits to aid both doctor and patient? I've been thinking instead of going 4/5 or 5/5 in diagnosis-based skills to instead go with maybe 2/5 and putting the rest in stuff like stamina, endurance, happiness, bedside manners etc, especially endurance since I'm thinking it maybe speeds up the process they're in the offices so that should theoretically mean shorter queues and less need to fill half the hospital with GP offices.

From my experience having over-specialized staff is far superior in terms of results. You can reach almost 100% of all illnesses and reach a no death per year status quite regularly if not unlucky.

I consider all the other perks as cute bonuses for when you have to hire in emergency someone that can't be perfect for what you need.

As for the topic of nurses in surgery I really don't see how diagnostics can help whatsoever it doesn't make any sense it's a treatment room. All perks that have any effect on a nurse in a surgery room are just the ones affecting the nurse directly such as movement speed or happiness. The rest is utterly useless, only the surgeon skill is considered for the treatment and raising the happiness of patients is totally pointless since it's a treatment room.

[geekgirl101]

Well yeah over specialized is good for treatment, but what about diagnosis? The patient will be seeing a GP and then moving onto treatment after getting a 100% diagnosis which makes diagnosis rooms redundant, but isn't it better to allow the patients to need a 2nd diagnosis to try and spread things out a little especially when you get challenges to treat x amount of patients that go straight to the treatment rooms so you don't already have a queue of a dozen patients waiting to be treated?
