Trauma Med/Surg - what else do I need to know to travel?

I graduated a year and a half ago and began my career at a prominent hospital in the DFW area on the Trauma Med/Surg floor. I want to start traveling at the end of my contract with this hospital (which is another year and a half away). Is 3 years experience with Trauma Med/Surg enough? Should I consider doing something else for awhile, like ICU, ER, or L&D? I particularly like the Trauma floor though.

When I first interviewed, my manager made the statement "After working a year on this floor, you will be able to go anywhere." Now, I suppose most floors tell you that. Right? This floor is however, a very fast paced floor. We get our patients either straight from the ER or from ICU. Of course, they have had some kind of 'trauma' such as a gunshot wound, stabbings, a closed head injury. We deal with trachs, chest tubes, all kinds of drains, rectal tubes, ng tubes ect. We do get an occassional lap appy or lap chole too.

Traveling, I'd like to stay in the Med/Surg arena. But then that lil voice in my head says....um, but you don't know anything about a respiratory patient, or a colon-rectal patient. I don't know a thing about telemetry. If one of our patients has to be on tele, they are on the tele floor, not the trauma floor! So there in lies my concerns. Will 3 years of Trauma Med/Surg be enough experience to take me out on other Med/Surg assignments?

I'd like to know what kinds of experiences you all had before starting your traveling career and how did you handle situations you weren't too sure about when you traveled?

Is 3 years of Trauma Med/Surg alone enough experience??????
