    What Exactly Does An Emergency Nurse Do?

    Here's a quote/definition I found online:


    Emergency Nurse, Nurses for a Healthier Tomorrow:"Emergency nurses specialize in rapid assessment and treatment when every second counts, particularly during the initial phase of acute illness and trauma. Emergency nurses must tackle diverse tasks with professionalism, efficiency, and above all—caring. Emergency nursing is a specialty area of the nursing profession like no other. To provide quality patient care for people of all ages, emergency nurses must possess both general and specific knowledge about health care to provide quality patient care for people of all ages. Emergency nurses must be ready to treat a wide variety of illnesses or injury situations, ranging from a sore throat to a heart attack. There are approximately 90,000 emergency nurses in the US."

    Maybe a few of the ER/ED nurses can elaborate.
