New grad in Ortho/neuro

[palmettogirl]

Hello Everyone. I'm graduating in December and I have an interview planned for an ortho/neuro floor. I have never had clinicals on this floor so I'm not real familiar with it. I am interested in med/surg nursing, but there aren't any positions open right now. I just want to know if it is a good place for a new grad to start. Also, what kind of patients qualify as "neuro" patients. And what do you do in a typical day? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I know this is a very old post but I was just hired onto an ortho/uro unit and it makes me SO happy to see such a positive things about new grads on ortho units. yay!
