Finally somebody talking about a unit that’s not mother baby or nicu. Thanks you for posting this! I’ve been curious about what it’s like to be an ER nurse
Exactly!! I really want to know why so many go to mother baby or peds??? Like is it easier or something? I doubt it but it makes me wonder if im missing something
I’m currently a LPN in an rural ER. We get high acuity and low acuity, hallway beds, etc. I’m about to graduate in May with my RN and going to going to a level 1 inner city ER. Kinda stressed but in a good way. I know I’ll learn way more and that my time in a rural ER will be very helpful since I know to basics (ex. If someone has abdominal pain, get an IV started, blood work, urine sample… CP/SOB get an EKG, IV, blood work (maybe an extra tube for VBG), place on cardiac monitor, assess O2 sat and position upright or place on O2), I do like that I ah e doctors, other nurses and multi disciplines at my disposal if I need them.
I feel if you want to do ER, go into it. It’s a learning curve but might as well go into it than not because each area has its own training and orientation periods

Thank you!!
I’m in nursing school and I can’t wait to start clinicals
What level trauma is your hospital? I am starting at a level 2 hospital ER as a new grad! Thanks for this video.
Well I started at a level 1 but I switched to a level 2 hospital! And congrats!
@@MichaleMercedes why did you switch?
Would you say it's better to jump right into ER nursing after school or better to get your footing in a clinical setting?
Hmmm I think it’s dependent on the person. I’m actually not in the ER setting anymore.. I’m in the CDU.. and then I might transition back to the ER.
