new job

I learned casting from the orthopaedic resident doctors. I learned termanology from working ortho, the core corriculum book that the National Assn of Orthopaedic Nurses puts out but mainly OJT<. Is your doctor receptive to teaching you? The Zimmer company used to do workshops on traction, but since it's rarely done anymore I haven't heard of a workshop in a few years-ortho techs usually take care of that and casting. Try orthonurse.org for their take on it.
