Default Re: Ok I dont like ortho
I love my ortho trauma floor. I have had to float to a couple different medical floors recently and HATE it. Everyone was jaundice, no ones liver/kidneys were functioning, and most had some sort of bowel issues (rectal tubes, diarrhea, c-diff). I like that my patients are for the most part generally healthy, they just broke something. Give me a couple open tib/fib fractures, a brachial plexus, a few spinal fusions, and throw in a farm injury for good measure and I'm a happy camper.

If you like it, that's great! That's the wonderful thing about nursing, is there are so many different areas to work in. I just happen to know that for me, ortho would not be fulfilling. But kudos to those who do like it!
