Hey guys I'm currently working at a small hospital in the Cardiac Intermediate Unit. My scholarship contract is up in Jan. and I just got a job in a Level I hospital in the Trauma and Surgical ICU. I'm so excited to start. I love educational opportunities, fast pace, and challanges. I've been researching some concepts/problems/equipment that I'll probably encounter, as I wanted to come as prepared as possible. We do get a 6 month orientation - but I'd like to go ahead and learn as much as possible before hand. So my question is to all you Trauma/Surgical ICU nurses: What are some important things I need to be researching? Thanks in advance.
