I actually start working on the floor next week. I did do a semester of clinicals on ortho and I loved it. Yes, there is lifting involved, but it is awesome to see people recover from ortho/neuro surgeries.I wouldn't think that it is more than other units. Its a good place to be for me because I didn't want to work on a "sick" floor. The experience is good too because we have post-op patients and they also have other issues as well. :)
