What are you waiting for?
I chose to become an ER nurse because I thought it would be a job where I would never get bored. The energy, excitement, teamwork and the goal to save lives and the knowledge needed to do this is what continues to drive my daily passion for Emergency nursing. Whether I am the trauma room nurse or taking care of patients suffering from chronic illnesses, whether I am helping alleviate someone's pain from a broken bone or cut hand, whether I am sitting and talking with someone who does not feel safe to himself or to others around him, I desire to pour out comfort and compassion to those around me. I want to be a calming voice in the time of chaos and uncertainty. In the ER I never see the same thing that I saw the day before. Each patient is unique and the knowledge needed to assess every new patient is something that I know I will learn better through time and experience.
Some days are harder than others for me to care for my patients but this is my greatest challenge to come here every day ready to work and give of my time, knowledge, caring, calmness, and love to those who are often facing major turmoil.
