Duties and Responsibilities: The responsibility of a trauma nurse is to deal with heavy situations and emergency patients. A trauma nurse is a registered nurse who cares for patients that have had traumatic injuries and other emergency medical incidents.
Salary: $60,000-$70,000 per year range
Education: In order to become a trauma nurse you must:
- Become a licensed registered nurse
- Have a diploma,
- Associate's degree, or bachelor's degree
- must pass a 16-hour course
Reflection: I would like to consider becoming a trauma nurse because i find it interesting how there are several people in different types of accidents and I would like to help them. Another reason why I would consider becoming a trauma nurse is because they do a lot, but it's not overwhelming like becoming a doctor.
