need help for new orthopaedic nurse

by egomori

I am a new RN and decided to start my new career on the ortho floor. I absolutely enjoy my patients and most of the staff is so helpful and welcomed me with open arms.
The one thing I lack is organizational skills. We have a 5 patient team and I usually feel as though I am drowning. If anyone has a report sheet that I can use to get report from and also use during my 12 hr day shift, I would be ever so grateful.
Any advise is grately appreciated. Are there any web sites that I can go on to learn more about this specialty since I didn't get alot of ortho in nursing school.

I'd like to know the very same things myself. I was just hired and on orientation on an ortho floor and also did not get very much from clinicals or a full semester in ortho.
