ER Nurse Duties and Responsibilities
In order to deliver rapid patient care, an ER Nurse performs many different tasks. We analyzed job listings for ER Nurses in order to identify these core duties and responsibilities.
Perform Administrative Tasks The ER Nurse is typically responsible for helping to coordinate incoming patients, prioritizing by deciding which patients need medical care most urgently and which patients can wait. They complete all patient documentation and continue to document the ongoing status of each patient throughout their stay. They record patient history, current condition and responses to treatment and medications in order to communicate this information to the physician.
Assess Patients In order to coordinate incoming patients, the ER Nurse must quickly assess each patient's condition and its severity. Once a patient is brought in to be seen, the ER Nurse then performs a more in-depth assessment, checking and recording the patient's vitals, questioning the patient, and collecting patient data to be handed off to the appropriate physician. This process must be completed in a timely manner as the patients in the ER often need urgent medical attention.
Stabilize Patients When a patient comes in in critical condition, the ER Nurse is often responsible for stabilizing that patient. The ER Nurse will often have to stabilize the patient with little to no information as the patient may be unconscious or otherwise unable to communicate. The ER Nurse coordinates with other medical staff such as physicians and EMS in order to complete this task.
Administer Medications After assisting the physician in diagnosing the patient and developing a treatment plan, the ER Nurse will administer patient medications according to the plan. This includes administering oral and injectable medication, dressing and cleaning wounds, changing dressings and assessing patient reactions to administered medication.
Monitor Patients Once the patient has been stabilized and treated, the ER Nurse must monitor that patient to ensure that they remain in stable condition and continue to improve. They will regularly check and record the patient's vital statistics, report and changes in patient condition and monitor patient treatment and medications to ensure they're being administered properly and the patient isn't experiencing adverse reactions. They also monitor medical equipment to make sure it is functioning properly.
ER Nurse Skills
ER Nurses are highly professional individuals who are capable of prioritizing many different tasks, working under pressure in high-stress, fast-paced environments and thinking quickly in order to make rapid, assertive decisions.
