Reflection:

I wouldn’t like to be a trauma nurse because I’m recently volunteering in a hospital and I have worked with trauma nurses and it looks like a very stressful job. Because the patients are never calm and don’t listen cause they are always panicking and you have to be the one keeping your calm when the patients scream or insult them.
