Im an ortho nurse for more than 5 yrs and enjoying it, the secret is to know what are the common cases you do everyday like knee arthroscopies, orif, ex fix etc. better to know them by heart because most senior orthopedic nurses that i worked with they dont have patience for you and it will spark their attitudes. But dont take it personally just go with the flow. They are very strict with sterility so be very careful because we are dealing with bones. We dont want any infections. We even wear hoodie to cover our hair. So when you became an expert with those small cases then time to move up to bigger cases like shoulders, then knee and hip replacements. Just take it 1 at a time and for sure you will be an expert soon. Good luck.
