remember in the old days when everyone had to do med-surg first before moving into specialty areas. i was just wondering how everyone else felt about this. i work med-surg and also post partum. seems like many of the new grads who go straight to pp instead of doing med-surg are lacking some very important basic skills. i.e., ng tubes (yes, we do get these sometimes in pp), scd's, blood sugars on Mom's and what they mean, iv skills, time management skills. ok, so it is very obvious what i think about this subject, what do you think.....
