As bad as it sounds I don't care about following up and seeing the outcome. It's draining to worry and feel it isn't a con. Also on the med surg/tele floor we deal with violent drunks and psych patients also, except we have to stick with em for 12 hour shifts with less resources and poorer teamwork
Definitely agree with the closure aspect... it took me a while to transition from the ward in regards to this because I enjoyed being part of their recovery journey. Sometimes it's the "unfulfilling" part of ED nursing for me.
Im on my 19th year in the ED, it surprises me how things have changed and not changed, one thing i say to every person i train, look at every patient you get as soon as possible so you dont walk in on a dead patient, even the toothaches, as i have nearly lost a "toothache" on several occasions and its lucky i looked at them and had a suspicion something was happening
I will be starting in the ED as a new grad RN. The scenario of “patients with unknown conditions can code & your license being involved” scares me a ton! Especially being in the ER, but that’s where my heart is & I always follow my intuition. I’m praying every day that I’m surrounded with coworkers that are supportive, especially as new grad. 🙏🏽
Great video man! I watch your videos once in a while, and I enjoy them a lot. I am almost done with my first year of pre-requisites for Nursing. Keep up the good work!
With that heparin drip patient on a Med Surg floor is sometimes a nightmare! The algorithms are crazy! But that’s why I’m switching to ED because fortunately I do know the end plan because I’ve worked it. And good thing being a nurse is that it’s so versatile and you can go to any area at anytime!
In Canada you’ll have your patient down in emerg for 100 hours ... just got my visa screen completed yesterday plan to come down to the US into emerg in January I’m so excited! Great video.
I feel like the cons especially with closure, you get in the closure more in the ICU. Other cons can be similar but we know exactly what we’re getting typically.
I like your videos. Side Note: I watched 4 videos already and every single video you have a device that the battery is low or died. Hilarious lmao New Grad here going into the ER
I just saw a video on how manny nurses are feeling burn out because they are not taking their breaks and working the full 12 hours, do you see nurses not taking their breaks or you your self ?
Do you think it is likely that a more introverted nurse would do well in the ER? Like someone that is the opposite of an adrenaline junkie? I am super interested in trauma, but also very intimidated by ER nursing.
I have the same question right now as I am about to enter my last semester of nursing school, and I thought for sure I would NOT want ER as I went INTO nursing school. Now I'm curious to have some exposure to it.
Straight to the point. Love it. Thanks for NOT including you getting ready for work, making breakfast and driving to work etc etc
Thanks for this!! I’m about to start my final semester nursing school preceptorship in the ER and I’m so excited!

When do you start? I start as an ER new grad in 7 weeks. Trying to prepare myself!
@@ethanbanich103 how is it going so far?
@karmen how has the ED been going for you so far? I’ll be starting in 2 weeks and am interested in knowing how it is for you.
@@ethanbanich103 how’s it going for you bro?
hey Karmen, so how was ur experience in ER?
Wow you break down the pros and cons really well.
Thank you for sharing :)

I want to be nurse so i watch this for advice
Why did you choose P.A. over N.P. Because as a P.A. you will never have the autonomy of an N.P., you will always be tied to a physician. Any thoughts?
What are some things you recommend someone wanting to work in the ER to do/study to be prepared & successful on the job?
It probably never gets dull 😁
I just saw a video on how manny nurses are feeling burn out because they are not taking their breaks and working the full 12 hours, do you see nurses not taking their breaks or you your self ?
Sometimes it's SO hard to find time for a break. Especially because most of the time, being under staffed is a huge issue.
Is it bad if I actually don’t mind the CONS, since they kind of remind me of when I was in ems😅
Joseph Martinez hahah nothing wrong with that!!😅😂
how's the wifey doing did she apply for nursing program yet?
Thank for sharing
Lea’s Diary you’re welcome.
Question ER nurse pay rate compared to other departments can someone elaborate?
We work in the same hospital
Patricia Stroud say hi!
@@kaynenbrown5102 did you guys meet
Do you have any tips on case studies you have to do in nursing school? How do you get better at them?
just do whatever makes your instructor happy. They dont matter in real life
Not sure if it still applies, but check out “nurseslabs . Com” for ideas.
Have you applied to PA school? and how is that process going :o
Chelseea Radke I apply this weekend! I will update you guys soon:)
@@kaynenbrown5102 will you have to leave your job to go back to school?
@@kaynenbrown5102 why aren't u going for NP
