Reflection: I would not want to be a trauma nurse. The reason being because I get freaked out when I see that something is wrong. I also don't really like dealing with blood or anything that is really that sever. However, this job description best fits someone who has or think that they can go along with any of the skills listed above. I also feel that this is a good job that fits someone who can act immediately and fast. Acting fast would have to be a big part of this job because they will be dealing with emergency rooms. Not only act fast but to be calm in case of a emergency.
