What can you tell me about working in medsurg? I am not a nurse YET but am so curious about the different units and my impatient mind wont let me rest until I learn about them.
Out of sheer boredom and as a much cooler distraction from studying for my A & P lab practical, I decided "just for the heck of it" to see what jobs my state has to offer an RN, most of the available jobs (or adventures if you will) require med surg experience. What is so special about it?
Being an aide on a m/s floor probably would be beneficial to hospice care: many times our surgical patients (or sometimes medical patients) are having a last-ditch effort at correcting a disease or disorder, and when the realization hits that it can't be corrected, then oftentimes hospice is brought in. So those same patients take those same wounds and conditions with them from the acute care hospital to the hospice program.
