Wound Care, drsg changes. I believe that all nurses should start in the Emergency Room. It allows you to think fast on you feet and distinguish the criitical & not so critical signs to look for on different patients. I have yet to experience med-surg in nursing school --- next semester, uh-oh! --- but have worked in ER as clerk for 10+ years. You can tell the difference b/w nurses who really know their stuff to others that could use a swift kick to the back-side. All in all put full effort into it and you will be fine. Also remember to always take at least 5 minutes for yourself! Important -- don't you think?
