Trauma Nurse

Online research:

Duties and responsibilities:  Trauma nursing involves responding quickly to a wide variety of single- and multisystem trauma involving different patient needs, ages, cultures, and severity of presenting symptoms. The trauma nurse must respond with decisiveness and clarity to unexpected events by assessing, intervening, and stabilizing patients about whom there is minimal information.

Salary: they make from $80,000 to $128,000.

Education:  You can earn an associate degree in nursing or associate of science in nursing, which takes only two to three years. You can also earn a nursing diploma from a hospital program in just two to three years, although this option is becoming increasingly less common. Ideally, your best bet is to earn a bachelor’s of science in nursing, which will help make you much more competitive in the trauma nursing job market.

Reflection: I wouldn’t want to be one because it doesn’t really catch my attention into being a trauma nurse. I don’t think it would be the right career for me.
