Thank you both so much for all the information! There is so much for me to learn still, but ortho seems to be a good fit for me from what you two are telling me. I definitely enjoy structure like Gyspy said it would be. I still have time to really figure out what I want to do. I am just so fascinated by it and have been since I had knee surgery. I had a great experience with my doctor and all of the nurses that were around. I am really looking forward to growing as a nurse and excited to see what this adventure will bring.

I had a colonscopy when I was 20 because of complications I was having with my irritable bowel syndrome, and they didn't fully sedate me. As they were doing the procedure I could feel the scope in me and started crying that it hurt. The doctor came in to talk to me about what they saw and found, and she then told me that I would have to be put to sleep in I ever received another because they gave me as much medicine as they legally could. So I understand how you feel about never wanting to have another one done. Other than that my experience with the nurses was fantastic!

I'm in my first semester of nursing school, and everyone keeps asking me what I am going to specialize in. I've been thinking about going into orthopedics, and I'm wondering if anyone could help give me some more information on it. Possibly even some things that they like or dislike about the field!!!

Hello everyone!! I'm in my first semester of nursing school, and it is very exciting! However, everyone keeps asking me what I am going to specialize in. I have been thinking about orthopedics or possible GI. I don't really know though so I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me!! Any would be appreciated!! Thanks!!!
