"Nursing care in the Emergency Room atmosphere starts with me ensuring that patients needs are attended to first and foremost. From the first moment I am with them, I am documenting symptoms and asking questions on pain and their symptoms to help the physician make a diagnosis. Being that our setting is often awkward and uncomfortable, I do my best to ensure that my patients are as comfortable as possible by asking them questions and by reading their body language. While our time together is shorter lived than most nurse-patient relationships, my face to face time with patients in the ER is vital to their care and I prioritize that time spent with them."
