I Hate Med-Surg.

It has come to my attention that I would rather not be a nurse at all than be a med-surg nurse.  


Watching the RN's in action, I see an endless cycle of: vitals, meds, vitals, meds, procedure (if you're lucky), vitals, documentation, more meds.  It would be enough to make me puke.  No excitement, no stretching your brain, and rarely anything innovative or medically fascinating.  
Just meds, pee, poop, wounds, and moving people [who are probably obese...], all the live long day. 


I have all the respect in the world for med-surg nurses.  I don't know how they do it.
