What is a necro nurse?

A necropsy nurse, also known as a post-mortem nurse or autopsy technician, is a healthcare professional who assists pathologists in performing necropsies, also known as autopsies. They are responsible for preparing the deceased individual, assisting with the examination and dissection of the body, and collecting tissue and fluid samples for analysis. Necropsy nurses ensure the respectful and dignified handling of the deceased throughout the process and assist in maintaining a sterile and safe work environment.
