Unit Information: This is an Ortho/Trauma med/surg unit. About 20% of our population is ortho, this is your scheduled hip and knee surgeries that we collaborate with the ortho team and have on the unit for about 24-48 hours. The rest is the trauma population, so MVAs, shooting/stabbings, falls, etc. These patients either come from an emergent surgery or ICU with many drains and tubes. This is a high acuity, fast-paced unit that requires teamwork and strong communication skills.
