Hi, I've been an ortho nurse for 2 years now and I can tell you it is very over whelming when you first start. The change between general and ortho is more than you expect! The appointments are generally shorter and you are required to be quick but if your ortho believes you are picking it up quickly then this is a good thing! You will get used to it soon enough and fall in love with it, you will never want to go back to general
