Emergency medicine is a great career choice for nurses.
Emergency nurses provide rapid assessment and treatment to patients in the initial phase of illness or trauma and often in life-threatening situations, and specialise in assessing, intervening and stabilising a variety of trauma and illnesses with decisive action. Due to the range of medical conditions that may require urgent treatment and care, they must be knowledgeable about general as well as specific health issues.
The most important responsibility for an emergency nurse is understanding triage, which is a method of prioritising injuries based on medical need. An emergency nurse must have the ability to make quick and accurate assessments about incoming patients, including both physical and mental health conditions.
Time management is crucial in this job.
Hospitals and independent emergency departments are the most common employers of emergency nurses. Other facilities that may employ them include cruise ships, prisons and crisis intervention centres. With more specialised training, an emergency nurse can become a transport nurse who administers treatment to patients being transported by airplane or helicopter.
