  • 🔺Hi everyone! In this video, I focus on the must do's prior to being on the floor and performing life saving care! I cover the most common disease's, procedures and medications you will encounter as an ER nurse. All of this with the intention of you building your knowledge base prior to your first day, therefore being more prepared! I also cover supplies and certifications you made need prior to starting. 🔺

    ❗Key Points❗:
    💥-Be Proactive Not Reactive! Be prepared ahead of time for anything! Ensure that your rooms are stocked and ready for business. Suction? Oxygen? Ambu Bags? Pulse oximetry? Cardiac monitor leads? Bp cuff? Do you know where your IV supplies are? Is the crash cart readily available? Is your glucometer ready for business?
    💥-Team Work Makes the Dream Work! The Emergency Department is dynamic, if you don't work as a team, you will not succeed. Help each other and have fun at the same time. Remember, its One Team.
    💥-You will not know everything, EVER, and that's ok! This specifically applies to new grads! Ask questions, lots of them! If everyone is super busy, wait until patients are stabilized, then ask away! The more you know, the more confident you'll be, and at the same time you'll realize how much you actually don't know. So, ask more questions.
    💥-Charting is extremely important! HOWEVER, patient care ALWAYS comes before charting! Take notes on a piece of paper as the what is happening with times, then when you do get a chance to sit down, chart away. But don't forget, patient care comes above anything else.

    This is THE MOST THOROUGH and TO THE POINT video I’ve seen here, regarding what to expect and how to prep to be an ER nurse 👏🏾. I just passed my RN boards and hoping to start in the ER soon😍. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for sharing your knowledge❗️❗️❗️

      Hey Larry, congrats and thank you! Def. overwhelming at times. It’s such a rollercoaster, some days it’s fun and I’m progressing fast and then other days it’s super frustrating because it feels like I don’t know anything and not progressing at all. Very fast paced environment and so many things you have to remember to do in such a short time, but some things do come easier over time. Overall, better than bedside nursing imo, because I love the variety in patients you see. How about yourself, how do you like it so far?

      @@mad1981all Hey Jay. Congratulations on your new ER position! I actually enjoyed the actual work, however, I left and started a new position at a hospital’s family health center. I left because it was highly unorganized as far as not having a plan for who will precept me during my shift and having to deal with rude/unhelpful/unhappy staff who had no intention on precepting me, nor did they want to be there. Felt like a fish out of water there. Also, they don’t respect LPNs as they basically all other clinical staff and often heard or was told/questioned things on LPNs, etc (can tell you better than I can write it lol). Also, they were not willing to compromise on my new schedule being that some things came up on my end that required me to work other shifts. The physical job itself was good, but all that other shanannigans and the “public” patient location, was not for me. I am current enjoying my new position 😊. Good luck to you! Hopefully your experience will be a lot better than mine.
