ER Nurses Responsibilities

ER nurses responsibilities primarily involve primary and immediate care for injured and seriously ill patients. An ER nurse must be very   rapid in their assessment and care of patients, on account of in an emergency, every second   could change the result in life and death. Nurses aid physicians with any duties asked of them, providing treatment and medication under directions from the Doctor , while an ER nurse is also charged with keeping records current

 

Emergency nursing is just one specialty in nursing , where nurses must be able to cope with anything from strep throat , to a heart attack or accident and trauma victims. Major accidentsmight take place on the motorway , in industrial areas , or caused by fires or weather conditions, among other reasons and emergency nurses need to be ready to deal   with everything and with patients of every age .

 

ER nurses should familiarize themselves with all procedures, policies and protocol of the hospital or health facility where they work . They should be capable of staying calm and making rapid judgments in an always busy environment, having the ability to prioritize not simply their patients, but also a nurse’s time. Multitasking and time management are a pair of necessary qualities for emergency room nurses.

 

Nurses for Healthier Tomorrow (NHT) are a union of organizations in health care and nursing, and they declare an ER nurse copes with three major roles:

1. Patient Care.

ER nurses are in charge of patients and their families not just in the hospital emergency department, but also in urgent care centers, ambulances and helicopters, cruise ships and sports arenas, government and industry, or everywhere that a medical emergency might arise .

2. Education.

ER nurses are in charge of training the public, through wellness programs and injury prevention. They are often also required to take charge of other programs like alcohol awareness, gun safety, child passenger safety, the necessity for helmets in bicycle safety, or maybe the prevention and avoidance of domestic violence.

3. Leadership and Research.

ER nurses might also decide to work in administration, as managers or researchers, looking for ways of improving standards of emergency health care.

ER nurses normally will be responsible for all varieties of patient care in any number of situations, although some choose to follow one area like trauma, geriatrics or pediatrics, where they will not only treat their patients but also join in with research.

ER nurses responsibilities include the maintenance and preparation of the work setting ; taking care that equipment and supplies are always available . They also keep up with educational programs so as to keep themselves up-to-date with advances in technologies, equipment, diagnostics and techniques.

According To Medical Careers resources there is currently a huge demand for nurses throughout the profession, most particularly in emergency nursing. The nursing shortage at present ensures very good job prospects for anyone capable of caring for others quickly and efficiently, requiring good self-motivation. The ability to keep a cool head under stressful situations, while multitasking, leads to a first-class ER nurse. Aside from training and qualification, and the ability to deal with all of the above-mentioned ER nurses responsibilities, it is important to have compassion and a great love of life; not only your own, but that of everyone around you.

Seven Tips for Winning Internship Interviews

Students, professors, and employers all agree that a good internship can be a very valuable part of a college education.  Even  adults in online college degree programs often  spend time as an intern.

The  only difficulty  with internships is that it’s not easy to get a good one.  The better the internship, the greater the odds that you will  be required  to compete against a lot of other  candidates .  Most colleges have a career center with someone who will critique your resume.  Unfortunately, not many colleges will offer you a lot of assistance preparing for interviews.  But, don’t worry.   Simply take advantage of   the following tips  and you’ll be fine.

1.  Prior to your interview, research the organization to which you are applying.   Learn what challenges the organization faces and what its most  significant   achievements have been.  Then, learn as much as you can about the key  personnel in the organization and the person who will be interviewing you.  The more information you have , the more relaxed you will be and the more able you will be to “score points” in the interview.

2.   Draft a dozen  interview questions and role play with a friend or family member.   Construct and answer the most difficult questions you can think of so that you are prepared for the most challenging interview possible. 

3.  Be certain  to do all of the “small things” properly.  Dress appropriately.  If in doubt, err on the safe side; dressing well and conservatively.  Arrive for the interview ten minutes early.  Power off your cell phone   prior to  entering the building.  Offer everyone you meet a smile, a cheerful verbal greeting, and a handshake.

4.  Be an active listener.  Let the interviewer take the lead and be certain  that you fully  understand his/her questions.  If you do not, request clarification before  offering a response .  Don’t be concerned if you need a short pause to consider an answer,  but avoid “filler” words like, “you know”, “well”, etc. .

5.  Be prepared to talk about your characteristics and skill set. Because you are an applicant for an internship, as opposed to  an experienced professional applying for a job, your interviewer may be trying harder to evaluate your  potential and fit  more than to discover  evidence of impressive  accomplishments.  Questions may be open ended, like  “How did you choose your major field of study ?” and “What have you learned about yourself so far on your way to a college degree?”

6.  If you have one available, offer your interviewer a copy of a completed paper or academic project which demonstrates  your writing, organizational, and analytical skills .  And, be sure you talk about what you learned  while doing  the paper or the project.

7.  Clearly indicate your willingness to take on any project(s) that will add to your knowledge,  teach you new skills  , make you a stronger candidate for employment in the future, and/or be of benefit to the organization.

 Don’t leave without getting  a business card from your interviewer.  Shake hands with and thank your interviewer before leaving.  And, follow up with a thank you note or email within 24 hours.

 With good preparation and a little luck , you’ll get the internship.  If not, the practice  will almost certainly serve you well in future interviews .  Remember, you just need one good offer, so don’t get discouraged.
